Your dog is so easy to love. You’re an expert cuddler. You know all the right places to scratch. But that doesn’t mean it’s all a walkie in the dog park. Some parts of being a pet parent are downright difficult. We know that making the best choices for your pet’s health can be hard, but we can all agree on one thing: a healthy pup starts with a healthy gut.

Your dog’s health and well-being usually begins with what’s going into their belly, but choosing the “right” food can be tricky. A trip down the pet aisle at the grocery store can feel like getting lost in a forest of food. Bins and bags and cans – oh my! The options thought of as the “healthiest” come with their own challenges. Precious time that could be spent with your pup is taken up in the kitchen, preparing meals, balancing recipes, and wrestling packaging into your fridge space.

We reviewed Heed Foods and found Heed uses high-quality ingredients like fresh chicken and salmon – never any mystery fillers with misleading names. And though they always start with quality protein-rich meat, natural prebiotics are the key to their recipe: ingredients like flaxseed, chicory root, apples and bananas which are rich sources of prebiotics and are known to be great for digestion! They help fight disease, ensure nutrients are absorbed properly and support proper immune system function. Who knew you could get such great results from kibble?

 

Feeding your dog well should be as easy as falling in love with a big pair of puppy-dog eyes. Heed Foods believes that good nutrition shouldn’t break your back, break the bank, or take all day. That’s why, when Heed Foods couldn’t find a good kibble that met their high standards, they decided to make their own!

They care about more than the big picture – they take great nutrition down to the microscopic level and build up from there! They’ve learned that a healthy gut is the key to an overall happier, healthier dog, so their foods are formulated by expert pet nutritionists to promote a thriving gut microbiome. With yeast extract and natural prebiotics, their recipe protects against bad bacteria and helps the growth of good digestive bacteria in your pup’s tummy.

 

Heed Foods gets it – kibble quality hasn’t always been the greatest. But their commitment to quality, health, and great taste is winning us over and teaching us to love kibble again! They’ve even made fans of veterinary nutritionists! Dr. Susan Lauten, PhD., AAVN praises “Heed Foods has proven to be a stellar recipe that shows dry foods can be just as nutritious. I have yet to see a product that uses such high-quality freeze-dried toppers and a thoughtful base kibble recipe that lends to flavor that dogs love while promoting strong gut health.”

Heed Foods wants nothing less than the best for your fur baby, so every single thing that goes into their food comes from trustworthy suppliers. Their food is made in small batches so that they can pay close attention to safety and quality before it reaches your dog’s bowl.

And perhaps the best news of all? There’s no reason to make that tiring trip down the pet food aisle ever again – they deliver their food straight to your doorstep!

Heed Foods wants to give iHeartDogs readers a chance to try and trust their food, so they’re offering you 20% off your order with code HEART20.

Don’t just take our word for it – Heed wants you to learn about how your dog’s gut health affects their overall health, and how Heed Foods’ kibble can give them a happier life. Learn more at HeedFoods.com.
