Superfoods That Support Long-Term Health

A Veterinary Perspective with Dr. Anirudh Mittal, Pupkitt Pet Care

(In collaboration with Jeweltails)

Every pet parent shares the same wish:
“Stay healthy, happy, and with us for many years.”

Food can’t stop time. But the right nutrition can support joints, heart health, digestion, immunity, skin and coat quality — every single day. This is where everyday superfoods make a lasting difference.

This blog explains how superfoods work for pets and how Jeweltails treats, toppers, and powders can be included in routine meals easily and safely.

What “Superfood” Really Means for Pets

A superfood is any ingredient that is naturally rich in nutrients like:

• High-quality protein

• Healthy fats

• Vitamins and minerals

• Antioxidants

• Fibre (when species-appropriate)

Without unnecessary salt, sugar, preservatives, or additives.

Think of superfoods as tiny daily investments into your pet’s long-term health.

Superfoods That Support Dogs

Dogs benefit greatly from including a few nutrient-dense foods in their diet.

Organ meats (liver, heart)
Rich in Vitamin A, B-complex, iron, and minerals that boost energy, blood health, and organ function.
Moderation is key.

Bone and bone broth
Natural calcium, phosphorus, collagen and amino acids that support bone, joint and gut health — especially helpful for active and older dogs.

Pumpkin and sweet potato
Natural fibre supports digestion and stool quality.

Blueberries and other berries
Antioxidants that protect heart, brain and cellular health.

Turmeric (vet-guided use)
Known for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support for joint comfort and ageing.

Beetroot and beetroot powder
Provides fibre, Vitamin C and antioxidants supporting digestive and circulatory health.
Use in moderation, especially for dogs with diabetes or kidney issues.

Jeweltails offers many of these benefits through single-ingredient, human-grade dehydrated treats such as chicken liver, jerky, chicken feet, anchovies and more.

Superfoods That Support Cats

Cats are obligate carnivores — they require animal-based nutrients.

High-quality meats and organ meats
Support heart, vision, muscle function and nervous system health through taurine and essential amino acids.

Omega-3 rich fish (e.g., anchovies, sardines)
Support brain, skin, and joint health — especially important for older cats.

Small amounts of pumpkin or beetroot (optional)
Can help digestion in tiny portions only.
Animal protein should always remain the majority of their diet.

Why Powders and Toppers Help Pet Parents

Good nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated. Powders and toppers allow you to upgrade meals quickly.

Always follow recommended quantities, especially for puppies, kittens, seniors and pets with existing health issues.

How Jeweltails Brings These Superfoods Together

Jeweltails is committed to real nutrition without unnecessary ingredients.

• Single-ingredient treats

• Transparent sourcing

• No preservatives or artificial flavours

• Human-grade quality

Our upcoming toppers extend that same philosophy — making nutrition simple and trustworthy for every pet parent.

Using Superfoods Safely at Home

• Introduce one new ingredient at a time

• Keep treats and toppers to a modest portion of daily calories

• Avoid unsafe foods (onion, garlic, chocolate, xylitol, alcohol, spicy/salty foods)

• Measure bone-based and concentrated powders accurately

• Consult your vet if your pet has medical conditions

Used wisely, superfoods become small daily acts of care that lead to a healthier future.
