A dog treat with a difference

It’s no secret that my pack of pooches, Puggy Smalls, Yumyum, Pops and Pomegranate love LOONAWELL pate. We wrote about it a few months ago and ever since it’s been a solid staple in our dog cupboard, and we have become certified LOONAWELL superfans.

If you’re looking for a dog treat with a difference then look no further, as LOONAWELL have created a selection of goodies that your dog will adore with heaps of additional health benefits too.

LOONAWELL is a Swiss brand who create, manufacture, and distribute everything directly to ensure they can provide purposeful, traceable, human grade treats that really pack a punch!

As you may already know, we are huge fans of the selection of versatile, ultra-palatable Pate treats, but for the purpose of this blog I wanted to focus on the sardine pate as the Omega element is such a game changer and has been hugely beneficial to our whole doggy squad.

As we have been trying more of the LOONAWELL range, we found that the perfect accompaniment to the sardine pate, is their incredible organic ‘salmon delight’ baked dog treats. This fishy combo drives the whole pack wild with excitement and the versatility of the treats combined and used separately is exactly what I’ve been looking for as a dog owner.

This gorgeous baked biscuit/pate combo is jam packed with Omega-3, which are renowned for its endless health benefits for dogs of all ages and will improve your pooch’s wellbeing whether you have a pup, an adult dog, or a senior (or in my case all three) then its highly recommended to introduce Omega-3s into their diet.

certain types of fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines, are rich in these essential fatty acids and can benefit your dogs in many ways whether its cooked or raw. But we choose to let LOONAWELL do the hard work for us with their incredible fishy treat options containing essential, organic, high-quality nutrients.

For senior dogs like our delicious dachshund rescue, Pops, Omega-3s are vital to help ease stiffness, lubricate her ageing joints and keep her limber and flexible. Her quality of life is greatly improved with more fatty acids in her diet, especially as she has a history of arthritis and spinal issues. By providing Pops with her daily dose of Omegas with the help of LOONAWELL, we are noticing she is much more mobile, with a lot more energy. Not to mention the results we have noticed with her skin and coat. Pops thinning fur seems denser and healthier, and her once flaky skin is looking better than ever, even between seasons, which is usually the prime time for dryness and itching for her.

For those who aren’t aware, we also have Puggy Smalls, our 9-year-old disabled Pug. Whilst Puggy is at the early stages of his golden years, he has a painless, incurable spinal disorder. Puggy spends an hour or so a day in his doggy wheelchair, but we do all we can to help keep him strong, mobile, and enriched, which is where LOONAWELL became our secret weapon!

We have been using the LOONAWELL sardine pate to motivate puggy on walks and as a reward during his physiotherapy sessions, but ever since we added the baked salmon delights into the mix, Puggy is unstoppable and I love that we have found a snack that he enjoys so much, with so many incredible benefits for his joints, and cognitive health.

They are the perfect high-quality reward for all his enrichment toys. Whether he’s snuffling, crumbled into a lick mat, or stuffed into a treat ball, these treats are excellent as they smell as good as they taste, encouraging Puggy to push himself and excel in his physiotherapy. As a very special reward, we also squeeze a small amount of the sardine pate onto a baked treat, and he loses his mind every time!

We also have our younger dogs, YumYum and Pomegranate. With Omega-3 fatty acids playing a vital role in aiding brain development and cognitive function, my only regret is we didn’t find these treats sooner, as these fatty acids play such a vital role during puppyhood, while they are still learning. I do believe our dogs are always learning and growing, so these treats are excellent and will keep the, looking and feeling their best throughout their adult and senior years.

If you’re on the hunt for a treat with a conscience, then I urge you to stock those cupboards up with LOONAWELL sardine pate and salmon delight baked treats. Your dog will love you for it, they are the perfect combination for enrichment and brain training, and they are jam packed with Omega-3s which are so important for all life stages.
