Like chicken, turkey is a lean, white meat that helps support strong muscles and is easy to digest. Naturally low in calories and rich in selenium and tryptophan, it supports the immune system and overall wellbeing. Turkey can also be a gentle alternative for dogs sensitive to beef or chicken-based recipes.

Pears are well known for being one of the most fiber-rich fruits found, important for a healthy digestive system. Mildly sweet, pears are rich in important minerals like niacin and potassium and vitamins A, B, E and K, which support optimal skin, blood, and brain health in us 'hoomans' and in our dogs. Pears, like many fruits, are a great source of antioxidants, which  effectively slow the aging process by battling those free radicals. This prevents cell damage which that can lead to inflammation, diabetes, arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.

There are over 3000 varieties of pears grown around the world. The Chinese consider the pear, which they call “li” to be a symbol of immortality.

Most dogs love carrots, and Cooka absolutely adores them as a healthy chew. These orange beauties are rich in beta-carotene, supporting good vision, healthy skin and coat, and your dog’s natural defences. High in soluble fibre, carrots also help support digestion.

Tiny but powerful, flax seeds are rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that help nourish the skin and keep the coat healthy and shiny. Naturally containing lignans and fibre, they support digestion while contributing to heart, joint, and overall wellbeing. At Cooka’s, we freshly grind our flax seeds to ensure pets receive their full nutritional goodness.

The secret ingredient in all our recipes is love. Food prepared with love can help support emotional wellbeing, reduce everyday stress, and gently support the immune system. Because love is something dogs (and humans) can truly feel and taste.
