  • High-Quality Protein: Pork is an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle growth, tissue repair, and overall energy levels in dogs. It's a valuable protein source for active or growing dogs.
  • Rich in Nutrients: Pork contains various vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc, phosphorus, selenium, and B vitamins (like thiamine, B6, and B12). These nutrients play vital roles in supporting a dog's overall health, including immune function, energy metabolism, and nerve function.
  • Source of Healthy Fats: Pork contains fats that can provide additional energy for dogs and support healthy skin and coat. These fats can be especially useful for active dogs or those who need extra calories.
  • Novel Protein Source: For dogs with food allergies or sensitivities to common proteins like chicken or beef, pork can be a suitable alternative. It can be used in hypoallergenic or limited-ingredient diets for dogs with specific dietary needs.
  • Supports Joint Health: Certain cuts of pork, like those with cartilage, can provide natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin, which are known to support joint health. This can be beneficial for dogs with arthritis or joint-related issues.
