A fresh approach
for your fussy pup
It can be tough to watch your dog turn their nose up at mealtimes. We’re here to lend a hand — or paw!
Lyka’s wholefood recipe lineup is carefully designed to address problem areas that could be triggering your pup’s fussiness.
What can cause fussiness?
What can cause
fussiness?
We are what we eat, and when it comes to fussiness, it could be connected to your pup’s diet.
👎🧂
Bad cravings
Pups are just like us. They crave sugar, salt and starch — highly processed foods that aren’t always good for them. High-carb diets can result in a spike in blood glucose levels, which leads to inconsistencies in appetite.
🔥🐕
Inflammation
A high-carb kibble diet can trigger inflammation flare-ups (aka gurgly gut). A fresh, easy-to-digest human-grade diet is key to maintaining a happy balanced gut and microbiome.
🍞🙅♂️
Food intolerances
A bad reaction after eating can lead to negative associations with food. We recommend an elimination diet to pinpoint specific intolerances — but be sure to chat to your vet first!
💊🔻
Vitamin deficiency
Vitamin B12 is crucial for a healthy nervous system and can influence your pup’s appetite. An imbalanced microbiome can also impact their ability to absorb Vitamin B12. If your dog is prone to gastrointestinal problems, this deficiency could be the issue.
