A HEALTH FOOD COMPANY<br />
<strong>Pooch</strong> & <strong>Mutt</strong> is a health food company; the health<br />
food that we make just happens to be for dogs.<br />
What do we mean by health food? Everything that<br />
we (or our dogs) eat is either poison, or medicine; it<br />
can either make us more healthy, or less healthy. All of<br />
<strong>Pooch</strong> & <strong>Mutt</strong>’s foods are ‘Naturally Powered’ - packed<br />
full of natural, active ingredients, tailored to specific<br />
life conditions, to keep dogs as healthy as possible.<br />

“LET THY FOOD BE THY MEDICINE,<br />
AND THY MEDICINE BE THY FOOD” HIPPOCRATES<br />
Hippocrates, the ‘father of modern medicine’, lived<br />
in ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago. He knew<br />
more than a lot about health and wellbeing and the<br />
importance of good nutrition. Like Hippocrates, we at<br />
<strong>Pooch</strong> & <strong>Mutt</strong> believe in the power of good nutrition;<br />
that ‘good health starts with what we eat’, and that<br />
this is as true for our four-legged friends as it is for us.<br />
<strong>Pooch</strong> & <strong>Mutt</strong> foods are not only free from the junk<br />
food found in a lot of dog foods, they are also packed<br />
with natural, powerful active ingredients to help your<br />
dog lead a happy, healthy life.

WHEAT-FREE TREATS<br />
BRAIN & TRAIN<br />
Includes chicken, Ginkgo biloba and coconut oil. Ginkgo biloba is thought to have been cultivated in China<br />
for over 1,500 years. It is traditionally used as a memory and concentration aid. Coconut oil is a source of<br />
medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are converted into ketones, which act as an energy source for<br />
the brain. These treats can both aid dogs in training and elderly dogs.<br />
PUPPY DEVELOPMENT<br />
Includes chicken, linseed and chicory. Your puppy’s brain develops extremely quickly. Linseed is a natural<br />
source of omega 3, essential for proper brain growth. Plus, omega 3 has been shown to aid puppy memory,<br />
so can help trainability. Chicory is a natural prebiotic that helps promote the correct functioning of the<br />
digestive system, as puppies can have delicate digestion.<br />
CALM & RELAXED<br />
Includes lamb, chamomile and L-tryptophan. Chamomile was traditionally used in ancient Greece, Egypt<br />
and beyond to aid relaxation. L-tryptophan is essential to form serotonin, the ‘feel good’ neurotransmitter.<br />
Give these treats to your dog before stressful situations such as visits to the vets, car journeys, fireworks,<br />
competitions, separation or just as a nice bedtime treat.<br />
FRESH BREATH<br />
Includes chicken, parsley, peppermint oil and chicory. Parsley is a source of chlorophyll, a natural deodoriser.<br />
Peppermint not only gives breath a fresh scent, it can also aid digestion. Poor digestion is often a cause<br />
of bad breath. Chicory is a natural prebiotic that can help the proper functioning of the digestive system.<br />
The biscuit’s abrasive action can clean your dog’s teeth as they chew.<br />
HEALTH & DIGESTION<br />
Includes chicken, parsley, charcoal and chicory. Parsley has been used since the 4th century BC to aid<br />
digestion, especially in cases of bloating and flatulence. Charcoal was originally used in ancient Egypt;<br />
it works by absorbing foods that haven’t been properly digested, which can cause gas. Chicory is a natural<br />
prebiotic, which can help to regulate digestive bacteria.<br />
FEEL GOOD<br />
Includes oats, rice, rye, chicken, yeast extract, rosemary extract. 10p per pack sold goes to dog charities.<br />
This includes both large and small charities, not just the well known ones.<br />
MOVE EASY<br />
Includes chicken, linseed, rose hip (Rosa canina) and yucca. Linseed is a natural source of omega 3, which is<br />
essential for joint health. Rose hip is high in antioxidants and vitamin C. Scientific studies have shown the<br />
Rosa canina variety of rose hip to be an effective way to maintain joint comfort. Yucca was traditionally fed by<br />
Native Americans to their animals to aid joint function and mobility.
“Her hair has grown back, her coat looks great, and she is no longer<br />
scratching.” Sheena Goudie<br />
He seems more at ease, skin colouration which was very pink on his belly<br />
has calmed down significantly, and the scratching has lessened.” Paul Kelly<br />
A month ago, Pebble’s stools weren’t right. Since being on ‘Bionic Biotic’,<br />
her stools have been so much better. She has more energy, and is more<br />
herself!” Emma King<br />
“We use ‘Mobile Bones’ for our dog who’s eight years old. Her recovery<br />
after a long walk is much quicker.” Independent<br />
Review<br />
“Not long after starting ‘Mobile Bones’, Oscar was jumping over things<br />
that he had stopped being able to.” Sue Thomson<br />
“I feed my dog a raw diet and use ‘Mobile Bones’ as a daily supplement<br />
to give the extra nutrients she needs. She gets so many compliments<br />
wherever we go and at almost 7, she is as fit and youthful looking as she<br />
has always been.” Independent<br />
