Nutrition

Healthy joints and healthy skin rely on many of the same nutritional building blocks. Omuu Joints & Skin Nutraceutical has been carefully formulated to provide comprehensive support for mobility, flexibility and skin health using a unique combination of scientifically selected ingredients. Whether your pet is slowing down with age or needs additional nutritional support for healthy skin and coat, our veterinary-developed formula helps support them from the inside out.

Krill protein and marine microalgae provide a natural source of highly bioavailable omega-3 fatty acids to help support joint comfort and maintain healthy skin. Omega-3s play an important role in supporting a normal inflammatory response, while also helping to strengthen the skin barrier and promote a healthy, glossy coat. By combining these two sustainable ingredients, Omuu delivers nutritional support for both mobility and skin health.

Eggshell membrane is a unique natural ingredient rich in collagen, hyaluronic acid, elastin and other proteins that are naturally found within healthy joints and skin. This highly bioavailable ingredient helps support cartilage, connective tissue and joint mobility while also contributing to healthy skin structure, making it one of the key ingredients in our formula.

Glucosamine and chondroitin are two of the most recognised nutrients for supporting joint health. Together they help maintain healthy cartilage, support normal joint function and promote long-term mobility. By providing the natural building blocks of cartilage, they help support active dogs and cats throughout every stage of life.

Boswellia serrata and turmeric have been used for centuries and are widely recognised for their natural anti-inflammatory properties. Together they help support a healthy inflammatory response, promoting joint comfort, flexibility and mobility. This botanical combination complements the structural joint nutrients in the formula to provide comprehensive nutritional support for active and ageing pets.

Healthy skin starts at the cellular level. Vitamin E acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress while supporting the skin’s natural barrier. Biotin works alongside it to help maintain healthy skin and encourage the growth of a soft, shiny coat. Together they provide everyday nutritional support for pets needing extra care for their skin and coat.

Our carefully balanced recipe combines highly digestible protein, prebiotic fibres, essential fatty acids and functional ingredients to help support digestive health, healthy skin, oral care and salmon protein energy everyday vitality. We provide complete nutrition from nose to tail.

General nutrition questions

Why does Omuu food contain grains?

It is a common misconception that dogs are allergic to grains. Allergies in dogs are caused by reactions to the proteins in their food. Beef, Chicken and Lamb are the most common protein that cause allergies. Grains are packed full of essential vitamins and minerals. Both white and brown rice are the grains used in Omuu and it is a vital source of energy for your dog. The only breed of dog known to suffer from grain related allergies is the Irish Red Setter. A genetic condition known as gluten sensitive enteropathy which is actually a rare condition.

My dog suffers from gastrointestinal issues (vomiting/diarrhoea). Can the proteins in my dog food cause this also?

Yes, the proteins in your dog’s diet can also causes reactions in your dogs gut. AFR (adverse food reactions) can be either an allergic reaction (allergy) or a food intolerance (most common). This will present itself with many different clinical signs such as vomiting or diarrhoea. But it can also cause more vague signs such as flatulence.

Do dogs eat insects?

Dogs are naturally omnivores. Many people liken domesticated dogs to wolves, their ancestors. However, due to breeding, humans have genetically changed dogs. We now know that dogs have enzymes to break down carbohydrates (known as amylase). We see wild dogs rummage through bins and even eat insects in the wild. However, it is impractical to compare domesticated dogs to wild free roaming dogs, since domesticated dogs are now living longer, heathier lives due to better understanding of nutrition and more advanced Veterinary care. To put this into perspective, a wolf in the wild will live between 6-8 years. A wolf in captivity will live between 14-17 years.

Is Insect protein Vegan?

No, insects are still an animal product. However, if you don’t eat meat based products due to cruelty then insect protein is a much better alternative and it is a more ethical practice than your traditional farming.
If you don’t eat meat based products due to the environmental impacts then again, insect protein is a more sustainable protein source.

Is a raw diet good for my dog

There is a lot of debate currently on the use of raw food diets. In the Veterinary community we do not advocate a raw diet due to a number of reasons.
It is difficult to be sure that your homemade raw food contains all of the nutrients needed for your dog. This can lead to different deficiencies which can be detrimental to your dogs health. Many raw diets advocate the use of bones/egg shells which can easily get lodged in many parts of the dogs body which usually ends up needing surgery to remove. You may also be introducing harmful bacteria into your dogs gut with the use of raw food, such as salmonella, campylobacter or clostridium to name a few. This poses a risk to humans too as dogs with a very pathogenic form of salmonella can easily spread it in the environment.

Why does Omuu petfood contains chicken fats and fish oils

Omuu petfood is constantly researching how to develop more sustainable recipes. Omuu believes in the health benefits of the recipe and we want to make sure your dog enjoys the taste of it too. We are constantly researching new ways to balance the nutrients/palatability with environmental impacts.

Who formulates the Omuu recipe and what guidelines do they follow?

The Omuu recipe is carefully formulated by:

  • Nutritionist with a masters of science in the nutrition of cats and dogs.
  • Small animal Veterinary Surgeon.

Omuu makes sure it’s recipe follows the guidelines set out by the FEDIAF who are the European body for the production and sale of small animal nutrition. Omuu even went a step further and performed our own feeding trial prior to launch.
Omuu is also manufactured in a state of the art facility with excellent quality assurance (QA) protocols in place to ensure utmost food safety standards.

My Westie has been eating omuu hypoallergenic food for years because of her allergies to protein but this food has been the best thing for her and the size of the kibble is small so she eats it well especially now she is getting older.Her coat is so much better and her skin is good .She loves the hypoallergenic treats they are her favourite because she can be fussy.I would definitely recommend omuu products.

We’ve tried so many dog food brands including Hyperallergenic for our frenchie and Omuu is the first food that I can say has definitely helped. Our dog had been sick for months and our vet team recommended Omuu as a last hail Mary and I’m very thankful to say it worked very well. Rockie is back to himself and thankfully gained a significant amount of weight.

Apart from the fact that both my dogs love this food I caught my cat eating from their bowl one day so decided to start giving it to my 2 cats also.. my cats are absolutely thriving since i put them on it . One of my cats was very sensitive to different foods and had itchy patches as a result ..when I put her on omuu that all changed. She has no skin patches like before I have also noticed that my Dogs’s ears and eyes don’t seem to get sore.any more and I’m putting this down to the omuu too. So I have had the best experience possible with this food. And would recommend it completely . .

Absolutely love this brand and how much it has helped my dog and cats! I have their skin and joint supplement and my animals adore it, when I sprinkle it on their food they will specifically eat the bits that have the most of the supplement on it first! Highly recommend

Our dog Leo has a particular protein allergy which severely limits what he can eat without him being very unwell. Omuu as an insect based protein dog food has been a god send, Leo has been on the food 3 years now and is a healthy happy dog! We couldn't be happier :) Omuu are aware of our dogs condition and regularly check in to make sure he's doing OK. Love this brand and their product, can't recommend them enough!
