How Healthy Is Your Dog’s Gut? 🤔

Most Aussie dog owners have no idea how much their dog’s tummy microbes impact everyday life – from silky coats to playful energy.

Answer a few fun questions about your dog, and we’ll share eye-opening insights (backed by science, not scare tactics) and simple tips to boost your best mate’s health.

What’s your dog’s name?

When seasons flip (e.g. spring), how does your dog usually respond?

Most mornings, do you notice eye gunk or tear staining?

When you try a new treat or food, what usually happens?

In the last 6 months, how many ear infections or yeasty flare-ups (sometimes smelly paws, musty smell, swollen ear canals) has your dog had?

Which sounds most like your dog’s mood & settle-ability?

Be honest: how’s the doggy breath & overall odour between baths?

In the past month, what have you noticed? (Select any)

Gut health affects digestion, coat, immune system & even their mood.

Whether you feed raw, dry or a mix of both, Scratch has 5 recipes built from the gut up.

Reduced inflammation

Avoiding common allergens like chicken and improving their gut health will reduce inflammation all around their furry bod. You’ll be amazed at what our dog food can do for their energy and happiness.

No more runny poos

Fresh ingredients and fibre from whole vegetables will keep your pooch regular (and can even help naturally express anal glands). Expect well formed and easy to pick up poops that don’t stink!

Losing that ‘dog smell’

If your pup is eating something that does not agree with them they can have bad breath, stinky ears and farts that clear the room. With immune and digestion working, it’s all roses!

More balanced energy

Avoid the carb coma after every meal. With the perfect mix of lean protein, healthy fats and fibre to keep blood sugar levels even, they’ll always be ready to rumble.

Shinier coats

Having the right mix of Omega 3 and 6 helps get that salon shine. And healthier, less itchy skin to boot. We make and ship fresher food so those nutrients don’t go stale sitting on the shelf for months.

Easing up the old joints

The best medicine? Getting to a healthy weight, thanks to our personalised feeding plan. We swap dodgy ingredients that flare things up for anti-inflammatory foods and oils that calm things down too.
