Calcium, Phosphorus & Collagen
Bone Health
Calcium and Phosphorus (from Cod)
Cod provides a good source of calcium and phosphorus, two essential minerals that work together to build and maintain strong bones. Adequate intake of these minerals supports bone density and helps prevent fractures or other bone-related issues.
Sources: National Institutes of Health, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
Collagen (from Lamb)
Collagen, which is abundant in lamb, plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones and joints. It helps improve bone density and strength, reducing the risk of bone-related diseases as pets age.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Heart Health
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from Cod)
Cod, rich in EPA and DHA omega-3s, is known for its heart-health benefits. Omega-3s help lower triglycerides, reduce blood pressure, and support overall cardiovascular health by decreasing inflammation in the arteries and heart.
Sources: American Heart Association, National Institutes of Health.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (from Lamb)
Lamb contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a type of healthy fat known for its ability to support heart health. CLA can help reduce body fat, regulate cholesterol levels, and improve lipid profiles.

Lean protein
Healthy Weight Management
Lean Protein (from Beef)
Beef provides lean protein, which supports muscle mass without contributing excess fat. This helps maintain a healthy weight and promotes lean body mass, especially for active or overweight pets.
Sources: PetMD, Journal of Animal Science.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from Cod)
Omega-3s support metabolic processes that help control weight. They can assist in maintaining an optimal weight by promoting the oxidation of fats and helping regulate fat storage.
Sources: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, Journal of Lipid Research.
Collagen, Gelatin & Omega-3s
Digestive Health
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from Cod)
Omega-3s can help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, supporting overall gut health. They also aid in maintaining a healthy balance of gut bacteria, which is essential for digestion and nutrient absorption.
Sources: National Institutes of Health, Journal of Lipid Research.
Collagen and Gelatin (from Lamb)
Collagen and gelatin from lamb are beneficial for the digestive system as they help maintain the integrity of the gut lining, preventing conditions such as leaky gut syndrome. This promotes better nutrient absorption and digestive health.
Sources: National Institutes of Health, PubMed Central.
Zinc & Omega-3s
Immune Support
Zinc (from Beef)
Zinc boosts your pet’s immune system by supporting cellular function and tissue repair. It helps fight off infections and speeds up recovery from illness or injury.
Sources: PetMD, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from Cod)
Omega-3s contribute to immune regulation, reducing inflammation and helping the body respond better to potential threats.
Sources: National Institutes of Health, American Kennel Club.
High-quality protein.
Muscle Strength & Energy
High-Quality Protein (from Lamb and Beef)
Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth. Lamb and beef are rich in amino acids that help build lean muscle, maintain strength, and provide sustained energy for active pets.
Sources: PetMD, American Kennel Club.
Omega-3s, Zinc & Protein
Coat & Skin Health
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from Cod)
Omega-3s, especially EPA and DHA, are essential for healthy skin and coat. They hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation, and help prevent dryness or flakiness. Cod is rich in these beneficial fats, ensuring your pet’s coat stays shiny and smooth.
Sources: American Kennel Club, National Institutes of Health.
Protein (from Lamb and Beef)
High-quality proteins provide the amino acids necessary for collagen production, maintaining skin elasticity and integrity. This helps prevent dry, brittle coats while supporting overall skin health.
Sources: PetMD, American Kennel Club.
Zinc (from Beef and Lamb)
Zinc plays a crucial role in skin regeneration, immune function, and preventing irritations like dermatitis. It strengthens the skin’s structure, helping it stay resilient and smooth.
Sources: PetMD, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Collagen & Omega-3s
Joint Health & Mobility
Collagen (from Lamb)
Lamb provides collagen, which supports joint health and mobility by strengthening the connective tissues around joints. This nutrient promotes joint flexibility, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent degenerative joint issues.
Sources: National Institutes of Health.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from Cod)
The omega-3 fatty acids in cod reduce joint inflammation, which can ease discomfort in pets with arthritis or joint issues. Regular intake of omega-3s is shown to support smoother joint function and mobility.
Sources: American Kennel Club, National Institutes of Health.
Amino acids, Vitamin B12 & DHA
Cognitive Brain Function
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from Cod)
Omega-3s are vital for brain health. DHA, in particular, supports the development and maintenance of cognitive function, enhancing learning and memory capabilities. For aging pets, these fats can help preserve cognitive function.
Sources: National Institutes of Health, The Journal of Nutrition.
Vitamin B12 (Beef & Lamb)
Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the brain and nervous system. It is involved in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which regulate mood and cognitive function. Adequate B12 levels can help prevent cognitive decline, improve memory, and protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Sources: National Institutes of Health (NIH), PubMed Central.
Protein (from Lamb and Beef)
Protein is vital for brain function, as amino acids derived from proteins help in the synthesis of neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are essential for cognitive processes like focus and memory.
