Your dog’s immune system is their first line of defence against illness, infection, and inflammation. Just like us, our pups rely on a strong, balanced immune system to stay healthy and thrive. The good news? There are plenty of natural ways to help support and strengthen your dog’s immune health — starting with their diet and lifestyle.
Here’s your guide to boosting your dog’s immunity, the natural way.
1. Feed a Balanced, Wholefood Diet
What your dog eats plays a huge role in how well their immune system functions. Avoid overly processed food with artificial additives and instead focus on a diet rich in:
-
-
Lean proteins for muscle repair and immune cell production
-
Healthy fats like omega-3s to fight inflammation
-
Antioxidants from fruits and veggies to combat free radicals
-
Our Joint & Immune Support Omega Oil is a great place to start. With ingredients like green-lipped mussel and turmeric, it supports your pup’s immune response while also promoting healthy joints.
2. Support Gut Health
Did you know around 70% of your dog’s immune system lives in their gut? A healthy digestive system is crucial for keeping their immune defences strong. Natural ingredients like pumpkin, inulin, and hemp protein (found in our Digestion Support Powder) help nourish the gut and promote good bacteria.
3. Get Them Moving
Regular exercise isn’t just for keeping your dog fit — it also helps regulate their immune function. Daily walks, play sessions or a run at the dog park can boost circulation, lower stress levels, and improve overall wellbeing.
4. Minimise Stress
Just like in humans, stress can weaken your dog’s immune system. Creating a calm environment, sticking to a routine, and providing enrichment activities can help reduce anxiety. For extra support, try our Anxiety Support Wholefood Powder, packed with ingredients like St. John’s Wort and salmon powder.
5. Prioritise Sleep & Recovery
Adequate rest gives your dog’s body the time it needs to restore and repair itself. Make sure they have a comfy, quiet spot to sleep — and plenty of downtime between active sessions.
6. Add Natural Supplements
Natural supplements are an easy way to give your dog’s immune system a little extra love. Look for products with proven ingredients like turmeric, green-lipped mussel, rosehip, and hemp — just like those in our Joint Support Wholefood Powder.
Supporting your dog’s immune system doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right nutrition, exercise, stress management and targeted supplements, you can help them stay happy, healthy and full of life — naturally.
