Wellbeing is a lower fat healthy raw diet, which has been specifically designed for overweight dogs or dogs requiring dietary support for health conditions such as pancreatic issues, liver conditions, kidney issues and cancer.
To our blend of lean muscle meat, vitamin and mineral-rich offal, crushed bone and cartilage we add nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables and a blend of herbs and extras specific to the wellbeing diet recipe.
Traditional healing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and health-promoting herbs include gotu kola, jiaogulan, herb Robert, nettle and turmeric to name a few. These herbs provide support to the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system making this diet perfect for senior dogs.
This recipe wouldn’t be complete without Big Dog’s special extra ingredients, including (but not limited to) sprouted wheatgrass, cold-pressed ground flaxseed, whole eggs, kelp, dolomite, goats whey, and organic fulvic acid.
At Big Dog we strive for quality and quantity when it comes to your dog’s health and don’t believe it should ever be a choice between the two. This recipe is not suitable for puppies with higher calorie requirements without adding extra calories from fat to the diet.
*Available in 3kg pack with 12 x 250g individual patties.

Feeding Guide
We recommend feeding adult dogs (12 months +) 2% of their body weight daily. We recommend puppies (generally 12 months and younger), pregnant and lactating dogs or working dogs 4% of their body weight daily. This is based on the nutritional content of our foods.
We recommend feeding adult cats 2-3% of their body weight daily (this is based on an average sized 4kg cat) and kittens 4-6%.
However, our feeding guidelines are a guide and your pets metabolism, breed, size, age and activity level may affect their overall nutritional requirements. Many people wish to replace a raw meal with an appropriate serve of meaty bones for dental health which is an important part of ensuring a healthy raw fed pet. Also taking into account treats as part of the daily energy from food being provided to your pet has an impact.
The important thing to focus on ultimately is that your pet is within a healthy weight range.
It is fine for younger animals (especially puppies) to have extra fat (aka puppy fat) sub 6 months of age. As they grow into adults, its more important to fine tune their diet to suit a healthy weight. A healthy weight can be measured in a number of simple physical ways. Ribs shouldn’t be prominent but should be able to be felt with a thin covering of fat over the top. There should be a visible abdominal tuck and when you look at your pet from above, they should have a visible waist. If the ribs can be seen, increase their daily food allowance, if they no longer have a waist and look like a log from above, decrease their daily food allowance until their waist returns.
