How to Achieve Optimum Canine Nutrition

💡 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: Lamb & Turkey. While some benefits of nutritional rotation are possible, the restricted variety may make it more challenging to achieve full dietary balance.

Understanding Rotation

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 meets basic nutritional standards, but treats may be used to provide additional benefits such as improved joint health, digestion, or protein balance.

Recommended Treats to Complement James Wellbeloved Grain Free Senior Dry Dog Food

✅ Puffed Chicken Feet - A lighter, crunchy alternative to chicken feet, packed with glucosamine for joint support.

✅ Beef Liver - A nutrient-dense treat high in Vitamin A, iron, and essential amino acids, promoting healthy vision and immune function.

✅ Cow’s Ear - A softer, chewy treat with low fat content, making it ideal for sensitive stomachs and digestion.

✅ Pig Snout - A softer chew rich in cartilage and collagen, great for joint support and skin health.

🚨 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 meets basic nutritional requirements but may benefit from additional support. Digestive aids, omega fatty acids, and joint supplements can help compensate for areas where the formulation may be lacking.

Our Recommended Supplement Range

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.
