As a veterinarian, it's my passion to ensure our four-legged friends receive the best care and nutrition available. Over the years, I've seen many trends in dog food come and go, but it wasn't until recently that I came across something that really caught my attention - insect-based dog food from Nala Health.

Originating from the Cederberg region of the Western Cape, rooibos has for centuries been a staple of South African communities. Not just an aromatic tea for humans, this unique herb has found its way into our dog food, offering a plethora of antioxidants that boost health and improve digestion for our furry friends. Due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, rooibos can be beneficial for dogs with allergies affecting the skin. It might help soothe the skin, reduce redness, and alleviate itching.
