Salmon - The Super Food

When it comes to giving your furry friends a boost of nutrition, salmon is a standout superfood. Packed with essential nutrients, this protein-rich fish offers a variety of health benefits for both cats and dogs. Here’s why you should consider adding salmon to their diet:

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids for a Healthy Coat and Skin

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep your pet’s skin moisturized and their coat shiny and soft. For pets prone to dry skin, itchiness or hot spots, omega-3s can work wonders in reducing inflammation and promoting skin health.

2. Supports Joint Health

Omega-3s also provide anti-inflammatory benefits that can ease joint pain and stiffness in dogs and cats with arthritis or other mobility issues. This makes salmon a fantastic option for senior pets or those recovering from injuries.

3. Boosts Brain Development and Cognitive Function

The DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) found in salmon supports brain development in puppies and kittens, as well as maintaining cognitive function in older pets. Including salmon in their diet can help with memory, focus, and overall brain health.

4. Strengthens the Immune System

Salmon is loaded with essential vitamins like B12, D and selenium, which strengthen the immune system and help protect your pet from illnesses. A strong immune system is key to keeping them healthy and happy for the long term.

5. Promotes Heart Health

The heart-healthy fats in salmon contribute to maintaining a steady heartbeat, reducing blood pressure and lowering the risk of heart disease in pets. This is particularly beneficial for breeds predisposed to cardiac issues.

6. A Protein Powerhouse

Salmon provides high-quality, easily digestible protein, which is vital for maintaining strong muscles, repairing tissue, and ensuring your pet has the energy they need to thrive.

Tips for Feeding Salmon to Pets

Go Raw or Dehydrated: Feeding salmon raw (from a trusted source like Raw Performance) ensures your pet gets the full nutritional benefits without losing nutrients during cooking. Dehydrated salmon treats are also a great option for a quick snack.

Avoid Seasoning: Never feed your pets salmon cooked with seasonings, salt, or oil, as these can upset their stomach or even be toxic.

Check for Bones: If you’re preparing salmon yourself, make sure it’s boneless to avoid choking hazards.

Why Choose Salmon from Raw Performance?

We at Raw Performance ensure that the salmon included in your pets food is fresh, high-quality and free from harmful additives. When you choose Raw Performance Salmon, you’re giving your pet the best of nature’s goodness, tailored to meet their specific dietary needs.

Whether it’s part of their raw meal or as a treat, incorporating salmon into your pet’s diet can bring a world of benefits. From a shiny coat to improved joint health, this superfood truly stands out as a nutritious choice for cats and dogs alike.

Disclaimer: Not all raw salmon is safe for canine consumption. Wild-caught or store-bought raw salmon may contain Neorickettsia helminthoeca, the parasite responsible for salmon poisoning disease, which can be fatal to dogs. The raw salmon used in Raw Performance products undergoes a specialized treatment process to eliminate harmful parasites, ensuring it is safe to feed. We strongly advise against feeding untreated raw salmon to your pet. Always source high-quality, prepared raw food from trusted providers.
