💡 Our Recommendations
Rotation - Your Most Important Nutritional Strategy
🐾 No matter what food your dog eats, rotation is always recommended where possible to increase the probability of better all-round nutrition.
🔄 We highly recommend rotating within the same brand whenever possible. 🐶
This range includes the following rotation options: Turkey and White Fish. While some benefits of nutritional rotation are possible, the restricted variety may make it more challenging to achieve full dietary balance.
Natural Dog Treats
💡 Why Might Treats Be Considered?
All treats should serve a nutritional purpose. They either balance the dogs diet filling nutritional gaps, support digestion or promote joint/coat health.
This food provides solid nutrition but may benefit from some carefully selected treats to complement specific nutrients and support overall well-being.
Recommended Treats to Complement Autarky Grain Free Adult Dry Dog Food
✅ Beef Liver - A nutrient-dense treat high in Vitamin A, iron, and essential amino acids, promoting healthy vision and immune function.
✅ Rabbit Ear with Fur - A natural fibre source that aids digestion and supports gut health
✅ Duck Necks - A natural source of calcium and phosphorus, aiding in strong bones and muscle function.
✅ Pig’s Ear - A tasty, protein-rich treat with natural fats that promote skin health and energy levels.
🚨 Caution: Treats should always be given in moderation. Even natural treats contribute to daily nutrition intake, so they should be part of a balanced feeding plan to avoid excess.
Supplements
💡Why Might Supplements Be Considered?
This food provides a solid nutritional foundation, though some nutrients may be less optimal than in higher-rated foods. Rotating protein sources and introducing targeted supplements, such as omega-3s or joint support, can help maintain overall well-being.
Whole Foods - Additional Nutrients
Looking to enhance your dog’s diet naturally, whole foods can be a great way to introduce additional nutrients.
Even the healthiest whole foods can turn a well-balanced diet into something excessive if portion control is ignored. More nutrition doesn’t always mean better, it often means overload, leading to toxicity, digestive issues, or long-term organ strain.
✔ Whole foods should complement, not compete with a balanced diet.
✔ If you’re adding whole foods regularly, you must reduce the main food accordingly.
✔ If you have any questions about whole foods contact us to ensure the diet stays safe, balanced, and beneficial.
