Yucca is a plant that grows mostly in desert areas of the United States and Mexico. Extract from the yucca plant is said to naturally help the body remove toxins and facilitate digestion. Yucca extract may also reduce body odour as well as the smell of the urine/feaces

Green tea and its extract contains powerful health-promoting antioxidants called catechins which have wide-ranging benefits but are particularly good for the cardiovascular system.

Seaweed is a popular nutritional supplement in natural dog foods. Although there are a wide variety of edible seaweeds, kelp is the most common one used in dog food.

Seaweed is a good source of a huge range of minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium and many more. They are also rich in the rare mineral iodine which is necessary for healthy thyroid function

Chicory is a plant with bright blue flowers that grows wild across Europe and North America. Various forms are cultivated for their leaves or their buds but the form most often used in dog food is grown for its large tuberous roots.

Chicory root is rich in simple sugars and the polysaccharide inulin. Studies suggest that inulin can have a beneficial effect on the gut's 'good bacteria' which is making it increasingly popular as a prebiotic and as a source of soluble dietary fibre. Inulin is also fairly sweet making it a popular natural dog food flavour enhancer.

Inulin is often extracted from the chicory root and may therefore be listed as chicory extract, chicory root extract or occasionally as chicory syrup.

It has also been suggested that some of the oils naturally found in chicory can help to eliminate a dog's intestinal worms.

Dandelion root stimulates the appetite and the digestive juices to aid with digestion. Dandelion root also has prebiotic effects, supporting your dog's gut health by feeding the beneficial bacteria (probiotics). Dandelions have been used in herbal medicine throughout history to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Hawthorn is best known for its ability to support healthy heart function but there are other benefits too.

Hawthorn is rich in polyphenols, antioxidants found in many plants. Giving your dog antioxidant-rich foods may help slow aging and reduce the risk of illness. 

Biotin can aid a dog with dry skin, which is a common reason for pet owners to take their pet to visit the vets. Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin also called vitamin B and formally known, as vitamin H, which your dog cannot manufacture themselves.

Biotin is one of the most important nutrients in the body, it maintains healthy connective tissue, which holds the body together. It is essential for the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, as well as for cell formation and assists with the metabolism of proteins.

Glucosamine is a natural anti-inflammatory. This makes it a very popular supplement for people and pets with joint pain or stiffness. It can help improve mobility and range of motion. It can help slow the aging process in your dog’s joints

Like glucosamine, there are a lot of joint-related benefits of chondroitin for dogs. While glucosamine focuses on pain relief, chondroitin has more anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps in blocking and reducing enzyme levels.

Glucosamine combined with chondroitin is a great pain reliever for dogs with joint pain. The glucosamine works on numbing and relieving the pain. Meanwhile, the chondroitin heals any inflammation happening and prevents further damage.
