Celeriac and parsnip duo - DoggyDelly Celeriac and parsnip pair well because each root supplies what the other lacks ⎼ and this combination is as good for us as it is for the dogs!

Just as good for us as for our dogs! 🐾

Friendly foods Some nutrients perform better with the right partners. Choosing when and how they meet can enhance nutritional value.

Nutrients aren’t absorbed in isolation: pairing well creates effective partnerships.

That’s food synergy.

AGEs: a very apposite acronym If the UPF conversation is about the degree of processing, then the AGE conversation is about its biochemical cost. To us and our dogs.

High-AGE foods can disrupt gut balance, cause inflammation and accelerate ageing.
What are AGEs and how can we avoid them?

Seed potential: unlocked Seeds are recommended for their health benefits in human nutrition; they have a role in canine nutrition too. But does a sprinkle of seeds provide the nutritional boost we’re hoping for?

Ultra Processed Foods The Lancet has published a major series of studies into the effects of UPFs on human health. Given the gastrointestinal similarity between humans and dogs, why are we giving our dogs UPFs?

The Lancet’s new study links UPFs to elevated health risks. Given the gastrointestinal similarity between humans and dogs and that diet pushes their microbiota in similar directions, aren’t UPFs of concern for dogs as well as humans?

It takes literally just five minutes to produce something quick and nourishing. Lightly browned mince mixed with cooked Basmati rice noodles and thyme: protein-rich and easily digestible.

The blood-brain barrier The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication system that influences overall health. A critical component of this axis is the blood-brain barrier, a determinant of neurological health in dogs.

The gut–brain axis shapes many aspects of canine health, a crucial one being the blood–brain barrier. Its integrity determines mood and behaviour and can even affect age-related decline.

Broccoli stalks - packed with goodness. Cooked in beef broth, they absorb amino acids, gelatin and minerals. Cool and open freeze for a healthy summer treat.

Just two minutes to turn that last drop of beetroot juice into a quick doggy drink. Just add kefir and hemp seeds, shake - and pour! It’s gut-friendly, heart-healthy. And too good to waste. Any left over? make summer ices!

Chattering bacteria The battle of the bacteria: helping the white hats win

Your dog’s gut is home to trillions of microbes – all talking to each other. This chatter shapes whether they work together or against each other.
How these tiny conversations affect everything from digestion to immunity – and how diet can help the good bacteria thrive.

Thirteen shiitake and a spoonful of broth - DoggyDelly Hard to believe all of this was made from thirteen mushrooms and a spoonful of broth. Magic from shiitake mushrooms and beef broth.

www.doggydelly.com/thirteen-shi...

When I got my hands on a *lot* of dried shiitake, it was straight to the ‘doggy’ kitchen!
Just 13 mushrooms + beef broth for a healthy topping, a cooling drink and some dog ices.
Happy dogs!
