Quinoa - Super food for you and your furry friend!

Jul 29, 2024Guy Eilbeck

Hey Pip Pets family! We know you want the very best for your furry friends, and that’s why our Pip Eats meals include one of nature's superfoods - quinoa!   But you might be wondering, why quinoa and how is it good for dogs?  Many people believe quinoa is a grain, but it is actually a seed.

Quinoa is an incredibly healthy food, not just for humans, but for dogs too! It’s packed with protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients and contains all 9 essential amino acids. It is also a whole protein, gluten-free, and low in calories. 

Our vet nutritionist carefully developed our Pip Eats Luscious Lamb heart shaped patties to ensure your dog gets all the benefits of quinoa. It helps keep their energy levels up, supports strong bones, and is a great inclusion in a complete diet when balanced properly.

The only criticism that quinoa gets is that quinoa needs to be washed properly to remove saponin, a plant derived natural chemical which deters insects from eating quinoa as it grows.  We wash all quinoa thoroughly so that saponins are not present as they could otherwise irritate sensitive stomachs. This way, your dog can enjoy all the goodness of quinoa without any worries.

At Pip Pets, we’re dedicated to providing your pets with the highest quality nutrition. So, give Pip Eats a try and let your dog enjoy the benefits of carefully balanced quinoa!

Thanks for reading, and give your furry friend a little extra love from us today!
