Natural Additions in Dog Food – Herbs and Seaweed
At Nika Pet Food, we believe that a well-balanced diet for dogs doesn’t stop at fresh meat and vegetables. Nature gives us even more tools to support your dog’s health – and some of the most powerful ones come in small doses: herbs and seaweed.
Why Herbs?
Herbs have been used for centuries to support health – and not just for humans. When used correctly, they can aid digestion, reduce inflammation, support the immune system and even help calm anxious pups.
Here are some of the gentle herbs we use in our meals:
- Parsley – rich in antioxidants, great for fresh breath and urinary health
- Rosemary – a natural preservative and anti-inflammatory
- Chamomile – helps soothe digestion and relax the nervous system
- Dandelion – supports liver function and detoxification
- Thyme – known for its antimicrobial properties
We don’t use herbs as a gimmick – each one is selected for a specific purpose and added in safe, dog-friendly amounts.
The Power of Seaweed
Seaweed may seem like an odd ingredient at first glance, but it’s actually one of the most nutrient-dense plants on Earth.
We use Ascophyllum nodosum, a brown seaweed harvested from clean Atlantic waters. Here’s why:
- High in iodine – supports healthy thyroid function
- Rich in minerals – calcium, magnesium, iron, and more
- Helps reduce dental plaque and improve oral hygiene
- Natural source of antioxidants – supports immune health and cellular protection
Many commercial dog foods miss out on these natural boosters. At Nika Pet Food, we make them a standard part of our recipes – because we believe your dog deserves the very best, right down to the last sprinkle.
✅ Gentle, Natural, Effective
We keep it simple: no artificial additives, no synthetic vitamins, no fillers. Just fresh, gently cooked food with a boost from nature.
