Customer Stories

  • Nala Health testemonial

    Cusco

    Our 13-year-old dog, Cusco, had lost his appetite and seemed lethargic. The day we introduced him to Nala Health marked a transformation; he went from indifference to energetic play and eagerly asking for more. We're thrilled with Nala Health, and Cusco adores it!

    This food is the best. My 9 year old French bulldog no longer itches, she has no redness under the chin, no loose stools and no shedding!
    She has had all these problems for years. Now the old problems have disappeared.

  • Chilly

    I have been using Nala Health for over a year now. I use puppy, adult and senior and have had only positive experiences. The dogs' fur is shiny and they have a good appetite on Nala Health. Their stools have also improved and the puppies where very excited about Nala when they started on solid food.

    I highly recommended this food

  • Testemonials Nala Health Zaffi

    Zaffi

    Zaffi was diagnosed with IBD and pancreatitis. He now eats Nala Health senior food and is a happy chap – and he has never been more stably healthy. Choosing dog food for my dogs has to fulfil 3 criteria; the health of my dogs, the impact on the environment, and animal welfare. Cost, of course, is also a consideration

  • Testimonial Nala Health - Georgi

    Georgi

    I have a GSP dog who is allergic to all dry dog foods (I have tried all the main brands and she gets a horrible rash on her stomach and a very sore gut) and up till now she has only tolerated ostrich or turkey wet food. I introduced the Nala very slowly over three weeks and its working! No rash and back to her high energy self.

  • Testimonial Nala Health - Daisy

    Daisy

    Nala Health saved my dachshund, Daisy, from severe IBD and allergies that caused internal bleeding. Despite multiple vet visits and hypoallergenic diets, nothing worked until Nala Health. Two months later, while Daisy still has IBD, she's happier, itch-free, off most meds, maintains a healthy weight, has a shiny coat, and is eager for walks and play.

Future Focused

We also want to support a more future-oriented and less resource-intensive food production. The production of insect protein emits a fraction of the greenhouse gases compared to traditional meat production, marine algae is a sustainable source of DHA omega 3, ancient grains are more drought resistant and the baobab fruit is grown on a regenerative farm in Limpopo.

Good for our dogs and good for the planet.

Nutritional Needs of Senior Dogs

Nutritional Needs of Senior Dogs

As our dogs age, the transition can seem sudden. One day they're bursting with puppy-like energy, and the next, they're lagging behind us on walks. However, the golden years can still be fulfilling for our pets. Each dog ages differently, and it's essential to understand that ageing isn't a disease in itself. Proper nutrition remains paramount. A well-balanced diet can not only support their overall health but significantly improve their quality of life in their later years.

Caring for my ageing dog

Caring for my ageing dog

There are several things we can do to ensure our ageing dog is happy and healthy. As our dog ages, they often get joint pains, loss of appetite and in some cases lifestyle diseases such as cancer. Conditions that can add to these issues are if your ageing dog is under or overweight. Ensuring our ageing dogs get their required care, exercise, mental stimulation and comforts require a little bit of effort from us but it is worth it to make sure they are living to their full potential.

Physical stimuli through playtime and training will benefit your dog's mental health. Equally important is to provide your dog with a healthy diet to support brain function from puppy to senior. Nutrients like antioxidants, protein, probiotics and Omega 3 play an important role in brain development as well as cognitive health and should be a part of your dog’s daily diet. 

Is Life-Stage Nutrition Important?

Is Life-Stage Nutrition Important?

Each stage in a dog's life – puppyhood, adulthood, and senior years – has unique nutritional requirements. Puppies require nutrients that support growth and development, adult dogs need a balanced diet for maintenance, and senior dogs often need lower-calorie diets due to decreased activity. Therefore, feeding your dog according to its age/life stage is essential for maintaining its overall health and well-being, and can significantly improve both the lifespan and quality of life of your pet. Learn more about your dog’s unique nutritional needs for their age and common mistakes owners make.
