But first let’s tell you a little about us….
Who are we?
We are a very small Bulgarian company that has been working for 3 years. supplies raw BARF foods. We created Divus after our experience with dogs from 2017. showed that natural nutrition is the best for our pets. We did not find a Bulgarian brand that would meet our requirements – local raw materials and the right ingredients to be seen in the food! And so our company was born, which already has over 2000+ satisfied customers throughout the country.
How to include fish in your pet’s daily life?
Food
Dogs are carnivores and, like their predecessors, should be fed raw high-protein food, healthy fats and a small percentage of carbohydrates.
The BARF method is based on exactly this – meat, edible bones, organs, fruits, vegetables, oils and a natural probiotic.
Protein is the most important macronutrient in the diet of a healthy dog because it is the building block of tissues and organ cells. It is crucial that a healthy and complete diet includes not only a sufficient amount of meat, but also fat. In dogs, fat plays a vital role in the proper functioning of cells, body tissues, skin and coat.
Therefore, fish is a great choice for your friend and occupies a special place in his menu.
It is an excellent source of protein and “healthy fats”. By adding fish to your dog’s portion, you can diversify their diet and increase their daily protein intake without too many extra calories. Small fatty fish, which are low in the food chain and therefore contain little mercury and other environmental pollutants, are best suited. An example of this is sardines. In addition to being rich in omega-3s and many antioxidants, they are also an additional source of vitamin D. They help prevent cancer and dental diseases in dogs. That’s why we add sardines to our raw fish menu. The combination of sardines, beef and duck is a great choice for active or adolescent individuals who have high levels of activity, as well as for dogs with problematic fur and skin. And in addition, raw fish retains the main minerals and oils that are lost in the cooking process.
Treats
Fish treats are super useful, and dogs follow every command to get them! They have a long shelf life, are convenient to store, have a crunchy texture and are irresistible to any dog and kitten. We offer a wide assortment of carefully dried, 100% natural treats that you can check out here.
Our newest delicacy is dehydrated Black Sea horse mackerel from the depths of the Black Sea. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which provide a shiny coat and improve joint mobility. Every bite is a real experience, and it is also suitable for human consumption. It goes great with cold beer.
Benefits of fish
Healthy heart
Fish is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have an antiarrhythmic effect and help with heart disease. Low saturated fat improves blood circulation and can reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which supports heart health.
Healthy joints and tendons
Oily fish provides a significant amount of dietary fats, which are enriched with essential fatty acids, omega-3, omega-6 and carboxylic acids. They reduce inflammation in the body, promote cell regeneration and reduce joint pain. And the natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin, which are contained in fish, prevent the destruction of cartilage.
Regular consumption of fish solves joint and tendon problems and treats arthritis in dogs.
Allergies and intolerances
A large part of allergies are due to the improper functioning of the immune system. The omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish improve the response of intestinal immune cells to bacteria and foreign substances. Acting as a natural anti-inflammatory, fish helps balance immune function, which means it’s great for dogs with allergies or intolerances to other proteins.
Improves vision
In addition to all the beneficial properties of fish, it is also good for the eyes. The content of vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids improves and maintains vision, slows down its age-related loss and helps in the treatment of eye diseases.
Easily digestible
The proteins in fish are easily digested by dogs. Efficient digestion reduces the development of bad bacteria, so fish is useful for dogs with digestive, liver and kidney disorders. One of the most useful parts of fish is its skin, because a large amount of vitamins A, E and D and essential fatty acids are concentrated there. In addition, the skin is excellent for upset stomachs, as it is the easiest to digest.
Skin and coat health
Fish also contains the protein collagen, which keeps the skin firm and flexible and prevents it from drying out. In addition to all the mentioned benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, they support the natural protection and condition of the skin, reduce inflammation and keep the dog’s coat smooth and shiny. Fish is especially useful for dogs with skin problems, allergies and atopic dermatitis. Find out more about how to care for and nourish your friend’s skin and fur here. Take advantage of the Fur & Skin supplement to supplement your dog’s biotin, zinc and omega-3. It helps maintain the skin and nourishes its hair.
Vitamins and minerals
In addition to all the mentioned benefits that fish has, it is also a fantastic source of iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, iodine and selenium, which are essential for your dog’s diet. And oily fish provide high levels of vitamin D, which is an essential nutrient for growth and development. The fats contained in fish will help your dog’s body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
Fish is extremely beneficial for your dog and is an excellent choice because of its wide range of benefits and beneficial effects. It takes care of your friend’s overall health and good physical shape, so do not hesitate to include it in his diet as part of the menu or as a rewarding treat.
