The Nutritional Power of Salmon for Dogs 

Salmon isn’t just a tasty treat—it’s a nutrient-rich superfood that can support your dog’s health from nose to tail.  It’s also hypoallergenic and a well worth a try for the sensitive dog who has food allergies. 

Salmon swims to the top of the list when it comes to super proteins. It has:

Omega-3s for Joints, Skin, and Coat

One of the biggest benefits of salmon comes from its omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats help reduce inflammation, which is especially important for dogs with stiff joints or arthritis.

They also keep your dog’s skin hydrated and their coat shiny, reducing itchiness and shedding.

High-Quality Protein for Energy and Growth

Salmon is an excellent source of easily digestible protein, giving dogs the building blocks they need for strong muscles, tissue repair, and sustained energy. This makes it a great choice for active pups or those recovering from illness.

Vitamins That Keep Tails Wagging

Packed with B vitamins (like B12 and niacin), salmon helps your dog’s body convert food into energy, supports brain and nervous system health, and keeps their skin healthy. It’s also naturally rich in vitamin D, which plays an important role in bone strength and immune support.

Minerals for Whole-Body Health

Salmon is a natural source of selenium, potassium, and magnesium—minerals that help regulate your dog’s thyroid, support heart health, and maintain overall balance in the body. Selenium, in particular, is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage.

The Nutritional Benefits of Carrot Tops for Dogs

Carrots may get all the spotlight, but their leafy green tops are just as nutritious—and often overlooked. Carrot tops are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can support your dog’s overall health. Plus, they’re a sustainable way to make use of the whole vegetable, reducing food waste while boosting nutrition.

Vitamins That Support Wellness

Carrot tops are rich in vitamin A (as beta-carotene), which supports eye health, immune function, and skin integrity. They also contain vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect cells and supports healing, as well as vitamin K, which plays a role in blood clotting and bone strength.

Mineral-Rich Greens

These leafy greens provide essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron. Together, these nutrients support everything from strong bones and teeth to healthy red blood cells and proper muscle function.

Antioxidants & Chlorophyll

The deep green color of carrot tops comes from chlorophyll, a compound linked to detoxification, fresher breath, and improved digestion. Paired with natural antioxidants, carrot tops may help reduce inflammation and protect your dog’s cells from damage.

Carrot tops are the perfect addition to a broth. Broths are known to be rich in vitamins and minerals because the low simmer extracts them from the plant, into the water. 

Tips:

When you let the broth cool, it will turn jelly like. The jelly is collagen and extremely healthy for your dog.

If you want to have the salmon flesh for a meal or snack, it will easily peel off the bones which you can let simmer for longer for the collagen and minerals to be fully extracted. 

As a topper:

Place as much of the salmon mixture on top of your dogs regular food.

As a meal:

Dogs do very well off of protein and this can be served as a meal as is. 

As a frozen snack:

Freeze the salmon mixture into fun shapes that your dog can eat as nutritious snack. Lila has always loved ice and this is a flavour-packed, nutrient-rich ice cube.
