About this deal

Pooch & Mutt was founded in 2007 as a healthy mainstream alternative to the junk filled ‘Big Pet Food’ brands on the market. Founder, Guy Blaskey, did a lot of running with his dog (and company mascot) Pepper. At the time there were other good quality pet foods emerging on the market, but none that embraced the power of positive nutrition, that you see in sports nutrition. Working with some of the top nutritionists in the UK, Guy developed the Pooch & Mutt food range, to not only cut out the junk of mass-produced pet foods, but to include positive nutrition, such as supplements and nutraceuticals, to help owners make healthier choices for their pets and help their dogs lead happy, healthy lives. Pooch and Mutt believe firmly that pets’ mental health is of equal importance to the physical, and constantly look for ingredients to promote that side of wellbeing. Pooch & Mutt makes complete, grain-free dry and wet food for dogs and cats, as well as natural supplements, treats and chews. Put simply, a pooch with a sensitive tum needs dietary help to maintain a harmonious, balanced gut microbiome. A boost of probiotics and prebiotics helps support the ‘good bacteria’ in their gut, protecting their immunity and allowing proper nutrient absorption. Pooch and Mutt produces natural, ethical food, treats and supplements to keep your dogs happy and healthy.

Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements. Next, carb content. Remember, the recommended carbohydrate percentage in dog food is 20-45% - going higher than this risks weight gain in dogs, as well as making it harder for active dogs to build muscle. Dogs fed carb-rich diets also tend to pass more stools and experience more digestive problems and sluggishness. Role of Omega-3 fatty acids in Canine Health: A Review’, Hannet Kaur, International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences The first ingredient in Harrington’s is ‘meat meal’ - a powder made from animal parts that humans don’t consume. As it’s created by rendering, this can affect nutrient bioavailability.While Burns’ contains none, Pooch & Mutt’s food contains probiotics and prebiotics, essential for a dog’s healthy gut biome and for boosting digestion and immunity. Then comes those helpful, healthy supplements that really boost the effect of hypoallergenic dog food…

Pooch & Mutt Vet Linda said ‘Feeding a diet such as Pooch & Mutt Soft & Shiny all year round can go a long way towards reducing flares and minimising symptoms. A dog’s allergies cannot usually be cured but with the right medical treatment and diet, dogs should be able to lead a normal and happy life.A regularly brushed dog is a soft and shiny dog, so be sure to get the comb out as often as you can, despite how wriggly or resistant your pooch may be. Brushing every couple of days is ideal, whether they have stubby, sheep-like or swishy fur. Burns Wet Food contains brown rice, which could trigger an allergic reaction in dogs with a grain allergy. A common allergy in dogs is grain, which is why most Pooch & Mutt dog food products are entirely grain-free.

Finally, puppies’ allergies won’t be known this early - so you may run the risk of triggering a grain-allergy with the wrong food.Pooch & Mutt Soft & Shiny is a fish-based food, which contains a higher abundance of omega fatty acids to help reduce skin inflammation and prevent itchiness. Pooch & Mutt have created an enhanced range of natural meals, treats and supplements that does good and tastes good, to give your pet the optimal ingredients needed to boost their mood and behaviour paw in paw with their physical health. Fish oil is our number one recommendation for a gorgeous coat as it’s a real doggy wonder product. It’s rich with omega 3 fatty acids essential for a nourished coat and healthy skin - so much so, that a dry coat and itchiness can be indicative of an omega 3 deficiency in your dog’s diet. As a powerful anti-inflammatory, omega 3 is also great for dogs’ joints, mobility and heart health (1)(2), so you can’t go wrong with a supplement such as our Salmon Oil for dogs. I’m always keen to investigate dog food brands. Ever since I studied canine nutrition as part of my degree, I was horrified by what is actually in our dog’s food and what manufacturers got away with, and many still do. My colleagues and I took the top brands at the time and in the lab broke them down completely to review their contents and actual nutritional value. The results, I’m sorry to say, were awful. Even the brands that claimed to be ‘scientifically formulated’ were disappointing. Royal Canin has maize, gluten and rice as its first three ingredients, when protein rather than carbs is of more benefit to a dog’s diet.
