Why dogs love Gourmet Chicken Hotpot
Posted by Warren Smith on
We always want to feed our dogs the best possible food. We can trawl through different protein options, balancing the best taste and nutritional value for our beloved canine family members. One option at the Innocent Hound is our chicken flavour, the Gourmet Chicken Hotpot, which we explore in this article.
Chicken is packed with protein
There’s a reason that bodybuilders love chicken. It’s full of protein. Your dog might not spend all day in the gym - but they also need ample protein in their diet. In tandem with the amino acids, it contributes to muscle development and overall canine well-being. Dogs have been known to try to eat cooked chicken, which you serve for human meals! Although, we would recommend sticking with Gourmet Chicken Hotpot food!
Our Gourmet Chicken Hotpot is single-protein
One aspect that we are incredibly proud of here at the Innocent Hound is that Gourmet Chicken Hotpot is composed of only one protein - chicken - would you believe it! Some dog food brands add multiple proteins to their products.
Single-protein recipes like our Gourmet Chicken Hotpot (and most dog food) have a significant advantage over multiple-protein products…You can quickly identify the core ingredient if your dog reacts badly to food.
Other nutritional benefits of chicken
As a lean meat, chicken is an excellent energy source for dogs. Feeding your dog Chicken Gourmet Hotpot will give them ample energy for longer walks! Another significant aspect of chicken for dogs is the Omega 6 fatty acid content, which helps to protect your dog’s skin and promote a shiny coat.
How about the sweet potato content in the product?
Those who have read the product composition on the page may have noticed that dried sweet potato is the secondary ingredient, accounting for 12.5% of the composition.
Why do we add sweet potato to this recipe? Well, it’s pretty good for dogs. The nutrients inside can help a dog’s digestive system work better due to the high fibre content. The beta-carotene inside the sweet potato allows them to take more Vitamin A from the food, giving the dogs a better chance of retaining good eyesight, bone growth and skin maintenance.
Sweet potatoes are also a rich source of vitamins C, B6, potassium, calcium, and iron, to name a few!
How about chicken healthy dog treats?
Are you not looking for dog food? But do you still want to give your dog the benefits of chicken as a protein? Well, that’s okay, as we have the Joint Support product from our Fine Health range, which is designed to contain turmeric and pepper and possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to promote overall joint health.
