Pork doesn’t get nearly enough love in the pet food world… but it should.
Here’s why we’re big fans of this gentle, nutrient-rich protein:
Pork is surprisingly easy to digest and tends to be well-tolerated by pets who struggle with proteins like chicken or beef. Many itchy, inflamed, or GI-sensitive pets actually do better on pork because it’s mild, simple, and less reactive.
Pork offers high-quality amino acids for muscle strength + tissue repair, B vitamins for energy and brain health, zinc for immune and skin support, iron for oxygen transport, selenium for antioxidant protection, and healthy fats for a glossy coat and hormone balance.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pork is considered grounding and nourishing—perfect for pets who run cold, have low energy, weak digestion, slow healing, or need a “building” protein. It strengthens Qi, supports digestion, moistens dryness, and nourishes Yin without adding excess heat.
Pork is gentle, nutritive, balanced, and often exactly what sensitive or low-energy pets need.
If your pet has been struggling with digestion, appetite, skin issues, or energy… pork might be the protein that finally clicks. Come talk to us to find out how you can best nourish your pet’s specific needs!
