Turkey

Like chicken, turkey is a lean, white meat that helps our dogs build muscle. It is also a highly digestible protein source for dogs. Turkey is low in calories and high in Selenium and Tryptophan both of which benefit the immune system. In addition, turkey-based foods may provide an alternative option for dogs with food sensitivities or food allergies to beef or chicken-based recipes.

Oats

Oats were grown already gown in ancient China and Greece. The Greeks were the first people to turn oats into porridge. Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth. They’re a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of Vitamin E and B, minerals like zinc, iron and selenium, rich in fibres and antioxidants. The many health-benefits of these grains include weight loss, lowering blood sugar levels and a reduced risk of heart problems. Compared to other grains, oats are rather  high in protein and fat. Protein quality is also an important fact, meaning that that it can be easily digested and used by the body and provides a good balance of amino acids.

Oats can be a good source of nutrition for pets who have a dietary sensitivity to gluten. At Cooka’s we love that oats currently do not undergo any genetic engineering or modification. We hope this will stay like this…

Carrots

Most dogs enjoy carrots and Cooka absolutely adores them as a healthy chew. Those orange beauties are a highly concentrated source of Beta Carotene, which may promote strong vision, support a glossy fur and healthy skin and strengthen your dog’s natural defence system. Remarkably high in soluble fiber, carrots can also assist digestive health.

At Cooka’s we use fresh carrots from local suppliers.

Coconut

Coconuts have been grown in tropical regions for more than 4,500 years but only recently increased in popularity for their flavour and potential health benefits and are now considered a super-fruit. Coconuts are highly nutritious, rich in fiber, and packed with essential vitamins and minerals. Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) – also known as GOOD FATS, are kind of the ‘secret weapon’ of these tropical fruits and help to support the immune system, are anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasite. Coconuts can also gently elevate the metabolism and provide a natural source of quick energy, which can enhance physical and athletic performance.

As a bonus, coconut can also improve our dog’s skin and coat, improve digestion and reduce allergic reactions.
