Health & Nutrition At A Glance

This chart shows how fats, vitamins and minerals support critical functions in our pets’ bodies. Food diversity helps ensure all their nutritional needs are provided for.

Adult minimum levels shared in the last right column are calculated on dry matter basis. This means nutrient levels when its moisture content is 0%.

Nutrient level recommendations seem to have been made complicated and inaccessible to the general public. We’ve done the calculations to show what might be inadequate in recipes we share. 

Good sources of essential fats:

  • linoleic acid (omega-6)~ safflower oil, sunflower oil, wheat germ oil 
  • linolenic acid (omega-3) ~ flaxseed oil, chia seeds, canola oil
  • EPA & DHA ~ mackerel, salmon, cod liver oil
TIP Food diversity & variety help minimise the possibility of deficiencies.

Good sources of vitamins:

  • carotenoids ~ pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato
  • vitamin A ~ fish liver oil, egg yolk, milk
  • vitamin D ~ liver, salmon, cod liver oil
  • vitamin E ~ sunflower oil, wheat germ oil, safflower oil
  • thiamin ~ organ meat, egg yolk, wheat germ
  • riboflavin ~ organ meat, milk
  • niacin ~ seafood, liver
  • folic acid ~ liver, kidney, asparagus, beet
  • biotin ~ egg yolk, liver, sunflower seed
  • choline ~ organ meat, whole egg, shiitake mushroom
  • cobalamin ~ liver, kidneys, clams, sardines

Good sources of minerals:

  • calcium ~ egg shell, dairy, animal bones (do not feed cooked bones)
  • phosphorus ~ red meat, seafood, poultry
  • iron ~ organ meat, shrimp, clam, oyster
  • copper ~ organ meat,  shellfish, oyster, germ portion of grain
