Can diet affect your pet’s behaviour?
Advertisement
Many of our clients tell us that their pet’s behaviour alters noticeably upon changing from processed food to a raw diet. We routinely hear things like: “My dog is so much calmer since the change” or “My cat is so much cuddlier now, and less skittish.”
Is this a coincidence? Or is there something more to it?
A clear connection between gut health and brain function has been established in humans. It is known as the gut-brain connection, and it gives whole new meaning to the phrase “go with your gut feeling!”
Processed pet foods are high in inflammatory factors, and evidences suggests that they contribute to gut dysbiosis (disordered gut bacteria).
Diet definitely affects behaviour. We know from studies in children that coloured fizzy drinks heighten excitement levels. What if your excitable puppy was actually reacting to additives and preservatives in his food?
An easy way to find out is to pop in to one of stores. Tell is about the quirky behaviours you are facing with your own pet... We love your stories and we especially love being part of the solution!
A diet of high quality, raw meaty bones, organs and tripe might just be the answer. Your pets will love you for it!
