Specializing in Pet Nutrition
Our Whole Food Philosophy, Understanding Nutraceuticals
Nutraceuticals, a blend of “nutrition” and “pharmaceuticals,” involve using specific foods to help rebalance the body and address health conditions. This approach is used in both human and holistic veterinary medicine to describe foods or ingredients with both medicinal and nutritional benefits. In veterinary medicine, nutraceuticals are recognized for their ability to improve health through natural means.
Historical civilizations, including the Indians, Egyptians, Chinese, and Sumerians, have long recognized the medicinal value of foods for treating and preventing disease. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian health science, emphasizes the therapeutic benefits of food, and Hippocrates, often called the father of Western medicine, famously said, “Let food be thy medicine.”
The Rise of Holistic Pet Care
Today, over 40% of American pet owners are turning to holistic veterinarians and nutraceuticals for pet nutrition. As more pet parents become dissatisfied with the high costs and limited effectiveness of conventional drugs and treatments, they are exploring alternative methods. Nutraceuticals, made from herbal or botanical sources, are increasingly favored for their perceived safety and efficacy.
Categories of Nutraceutical Pet Nutrition
Nutraceutical pet nutrition encompasses several approaches, including:
- Functional Foods or “Food Therapy”: Utilizing foods specifically to support health.
- Cleansing & Detoxifying: Removing toxins and impurities from the body.
- Dietary Additives or Supplements: Enhancing the diet with additional nutrients and beneficial compounds.
These methods use food to purify, rebalance, and boost bodily functions, addressing various health issues.

Why Choose Dehydrated Dog Food
Pet nutrition should not be confusing or mysterious. Unfortunately, the commercial pet food industry has often made it seem that way, leading many dog owners to rely on less effective and sometimes harmful products. The industry also influences veterinary training, which can skew recommendations toward its own products.
