Grass-Fed Products
The term grass-fed refers to the animal’s diet; it includes more than just grass and herbs, flowers, clover and other legumes, also referred to as ‘pasture’. These types of products have increased in popularity in recent years. This is supported by recent research that found 50% of consumers globally now express a preference for grass-fed dairy.
What makes Lamb so great?
Lamb is red meat that offers several benefits to dogs. Firstly, it is a provider of dietary fats that provides energy and aids in transporting essential fat-soluble vitamins. Lamb is a great protein option for dogs which plays a critical role in building, healing and maintaining body tissues whilst also regulating a dog’s bodily processes. This animal source also has a fantastic nutritional profile, as it contains zinc that helps boost the immune system and is also packed with B Vitamins, which is important for the health of a dog’s nervous system. Lamb is also a brilliant source of iron that helps to support the functions of the circulatory system.
Here at Regal Dog, we recognise that grass-fed lamb is a significant source of omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, the ratio of omega-3 to omega 6 fats is far better in grass-fed lamb. It has also been found that lambs grazing in pasture has 14% less fat and approximately 8% more protein than grain-fed lambs.
