When it comes to feeding our dogs, we all want the best—a diet that not only meets their nutritional needs but also delights their taste buds. While there are many protein sources available, lamb for dogs has emerged as a top contender, especially for those seeking a wholesome, flavorful, and nutrient-rich option. At LOONAWELL, we’ve taken lamb’s natural goodness and crafted it into our Lamb & Love Organic Complete Food for dogs, a product that’s as nutritious as it is delicious. Let’s explore why lamb is the star ingredient and how it can benefit your beloved dog.

Why Lamb for Dogs is a Superior Protein Source

Lamb is a highly digestible protein that’s rich in essential amino acids, which are vital for maintaining muscle mass and supporting overall health. What sets lamb apart from other proteins like chicken or beef is its unique nutrient profile. Lamb is naturally high in zinc, selenium, and B vitamins, which play crucial roles in boosting immune function, promoting healthy skin and coat, and supporting energy metabolism.

For dogs with sensitivities or allergies, lamb is often a preferred protein source. Lamb for dogs is less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to more common proteins, making it an excellent choice for dogs with specific dietary needs. Additionally, lamb’s rich flavor is something that dogs find irresistible, ensuring that mealtime is something they look forward to.

Lamb & Love: A Symphony of Premium Organic Ingredients

At LOONAWELL, our commitment to quality goes beyond just choosing lamb as the main ingredient. Lamb & Love Organic Complete Food is a carefully curated blend of the finest organic ingredients, each selected for its nutritional benefits and ability to complement the star of the dish—lamb. Here’s a closer look at the ingredients that make this recipe truly exceptional:

Potato: A gentle and easily digestible source of carbohydrates, potatoes provide energy without upsetting sensitive stomachs.

Jerusalem Artichoke: Known for its prebiotic properties, Jerusalem artichoke supports healthy digestion and helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome.

Lamb Liver: This nutrient-dense organ meat is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, iron, and copper, which are crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system and promoting vitality.

Lentils: Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, lentils contribute to a feeling of fullness and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Carrots: High in beta-carotene, carrots support eye health and enhance the immune system.

Pumpkin Seeds: These little powerhouses are loaded with antioxidants, healthy fats, and zinc, which support skin and coat health.

Kohlrabi: A lesser-known but highly nutritious vegetable, kohlrabi is rich in vitamin C and fiber, supporting both immune function and digestive health.

Peppermint: Known for its soothing properties, peppermint aids digestion and can help freshen your dog’s breath.

Juniper Berries: These berries offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, supporting overall health and wellness.

Rosemary: This herb is a natural preservative and also adds a touch of flavor, while its antioxidants support cognitive function.

Cloves: A small but mighty ingredient, cloves are packed with antioxidants that help protect cells from damage.

Omega-3: Essential fatty acids like omega-3 support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote a shiny coat.

Each of these ingredients has been chosen not just for its nutritional benefits, but also for how it enhances the overall flavor profile of Lamb & Love. The result is a meal that’s as nourishing as it is tasty—one that your dog will love and that you can feel good about feeding them.

Provenance Matters: Organic Lamb from Ueli-Hof, Switzerland

At LOONAWELL, we believe that where our ingredients come from is just as important as what they are. That’s why the lamb meat and lamb liver used in our Lamb & Love Organic Complete Food are sourced exclusively from the renowned organic farm of Ueli-Hof in Switzerland. Ueli-Hof is celebrated for its commitment to ethical farming practices and sustainability, ensuring that all their animals are raised with care, respect, and in a stress-free environment.

The lamb from Ueli-Hof is not only organic but also of the highest quality, ensuring that your dog is receiving the best possible nutrition. By choosing locally sourced, organic lamb for dogs, we’re able to provide a product that’s rich in flavor and nutrients while also supporting sustainable agriculture and animal welfare. It’s a choice that reflects our dedication to quality and integrity in every step of our process.

The Nutritional Benefits of Lamb & Love Complete Food for Dogs

The combination of lamb with these carefully selected organic ingredients creates a complete and balanced diet that supports your dog’s health in every way. From promoting a healthy coat and skin with omega-3 fatty acids and pumpkin seeds, to supporting digestive health with Jerusalem artichoke and peppermint, Lamb & Love is designed to nourish your dog from the inside out.

The inclusion of lamb liver ensures that your dog gets a boost of essential vitamins and minerals, while lentils provide a steady source of energy and help maintain a healthy weight. The antioxidants found in rosemary, juniper berries, and cloves add an extra layer of protection against the effects of aging and environmental stressors.

Why being "Organic" Makes a Difference in Dog Food

At LOONAWELL, we believe that the quality of ingredients matters just as much as their nutritional content. That’s why our products, including Lamb & Love, are made with certified organic ingredients. Organic farming practices ensure that the food is free from harmful pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and GMOs, which have often proven to be the culprits of dog’s allergies. Choosing organic not only makes the food safer and healthier for your dog but also supports a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to agriculture.

By choosing organic, you’re not only providing your dog with clean, high-quality nutrition but also contributing to the health of our planet. It’s a choice that reflects a commitment to holistic well-being, both for your pet and the environment.


And while we are on the topic of celebrating high-quality products, we take this opportunity to remind you that until December 15th, for every order placed at www.loonawell.com that contains at least one Complete Food item, you get one entry to our CERVO Mountain Resort luxury giveaway.
