Paw-Cura Dog Food

How to Wean Your Dog onto Paw-Cura

Switching your dog to Paw-Cura Dog Food is a great way to improve their nutrition, but it’s important to wean them onto the new food gradually to prevent any digestive issues. Here’s a simple 10-day guide to help with the transition:
Days 1-3: Feed 3/4 of their old food and 1/4 of Paw-Cura.
Days 4-6: Feed an even mix of 50% old food and 50% Paw-Cura.
Days 7-10: Feed 3/4 old food and 1/4 Paw-Cura.
Days 11+: Serve 100% Paw-Cura.

Every dog is different, so if you notice any digestive issues, slow the transition down. Not all dogs adapt at the same pace and taking it slow will help ensure a smooth change without stomach upset.
Always remember, gradual changes are key. Avoid making sudden food swaps to prevent gastrointestinal stress. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@paw-cura.uk for more guidance.

The Benefits oF BlACK SOLIDER FLY LARVAE (BSFL) PROTEIN POWDER

The Power of Insect Protein

Insect protein, specifically Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), is gaining attention for its numerous health benefits for dogs. A recent study highlights some exciting findings, showing that BSFL not only promotes healthy bacteria in the mouth but also helps curb harmful bacteria, leading to improved dental health and more neutral breath. This is particularly beneficial for breeds susceptible to periodontal disease.

BSFL also plays a key role in supporting smooth digestion, which can be a common problem for dogs. Incorporating a hypoallergenic protein such as BSFL into your dog’s diet can improve overall gut health and stool quality thanks to  supportive ingredients such as Yucca, Chamomile and Dried Beet Pulp.

Beyond digestive and dental health, Black Soldier Fly Larvae Protein is a great source of essential nutrients for your dog’s skin and coat. The high protein content and rich fatty acids contribute to a shiny coat and healthy skin, helping dogs with dry or flaky skin.
With its eco-friendly sourcing and impressive health benefits, Paw-Cura is a powerful addition to any dog’s diet. Improve your dog’s overall health, support digestion, and maintain a glowing coat with the natural benefits of Paw-Cura.

How Insect Protein Can Help Keep Your Dog’s Teeth Clean

Recent studies show that dogs fed Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) have better oral health and fresher breath than those on traditional poultry-based diets.

Over two 50-day periods, eight beagles were fed either a BSFL-based kibble, or one made with poultry byproduct meal. The BSFL diet led to a 7% reduction in harmful bacteria that cause bad breath and gum disease, while increasing beneficial bacteria like Moraxella, linked to better oral health. Breath tests revealed dogs on the BSFL diet had a “barely noticeable odour” versus a “slight but noticeable odour” on the poultry diet.

With around 80% of dogs over three years affected by periodontal disease, diet can play a vital role in prevention. BSFL protein is not only nutritious and hypoallergenic but also sustainable – making it a win for your dog’s health and the planet.

The Skin & Coat Benefits of Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Dogs

Want your dog to have soft, healthy skin and a shiny coat? Insect-protein is a beneficial alternative protein source for dogs, particularly those with skin sensitivities.

In a 50-day trial, dogs eating a BSFL diet had:

– Better skin moisture – helping to prevent dryness and itching.

– Improved hydration – keeping skin soft and comfortable.

– Extra protection – fatty acids help strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.

– A small antioxidant boost – supporting overall skin health.

There were no negative effects, making BSFL a safe choice – especially for dogs with sensitive skin or allergies. BSFL isn’t just gentle on your dog’s tummy – it’s also kind to the planet and great for their skin and coat!

The Joint Health Benefits of Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Pets

It turns out that Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) protein can do more than just prevent arthritis – they may even help improve existing joint issues. Thanks to their natural glucosamine content, these proteins support cartilage repair and help maintain healthy, flexible joints.

A study also revealed a surprising downside to chicken meal, a common pet food ingredient: it may contribute to arthritis by increasing oxidative stress through higher ROS (reactive oxygen species) production in monocytes.

BSFL proteins, on the other hand, showed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, helping to protect joint tissues from damage while promoting healing.

For dogs prone to joint problems, BSFL-based diets could be a game-changer, offering both mobility support and a sustainable protein source!

Why Consider Insects as a Protein Source for Pets?

With the global population – and pet ownership – on the rise, demand for protein is rapidly increasing. Traditional meat production takes a huge environmental toll, with pet food alone responsible for nearly a quarter of the impact from protein production.

Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) offers a sustainable, highly nutritious alternative. BSFL requires far less land and water, with lower carbon emissions, while producing lower greenhouse gas emissions. BSFL protein is rich in essential amino acids, fats, and minerals, and is highly digestible for dogs. Beyond nutrition, BSFL is a novel protein – ideal for pets with food sensitivities – and contains beneficial fatty acids that can support skin health, cognitive function in ageing pets, and even provide antimicrobial and antioxidant benefits.

Switching to insect-based diets supports both your pet’s health and the planet!
