🫐🐶🐱 BLUEBERRIES ON THE BAG DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN BLUEBERRY BENEFITS IN THE BOWL!

A peer-reviewed 2025 study published in the Journal of Animal Science examined 40 commercial dog and cat kibbles listing blueberries as an ingredient.

The surprising finding? 🤯

Researchers found very low to undetectable levels of certain beneficial plant compounds, including antioxidants associated with blueberries.

🫐 THE BIGGEST SHOCK: One kibble listed blueberries as its 4th ingredient, yet had the lowest measured level of quercetin, a beneficial antioxidant, in the entire study!

Just because blueberries appear high on an ingredient list doesn’t guarantee your pet is getting their expected antioxidant benefits.

🫐 WHY FRESH BLUEBERRIES MATTER

Blueberries naturally contain powerful antioxidants, including anthocyanins, that help protect cells from oxidative stress.

These compounds are being studied for their potential to support:

🧠 Brain health and healthy aging
❤️ Heart and cardiovascular health
🛡️ Healthy immune function

And here’s the best part: You don’t need to replace your pet’s food to add a little fresh nutrition!

Simply add a few fresh or thawed, unsweetened blueberries to their bowl.

🐶 HOW MANY BLUEBERRIES CAN PETS HAVE?

As a simple occasional topper:
🐾 Cats and Small dogs: 1–2 blueberries
🐾 Medium dogs: 3–5 blueberries
🐾 Large dogs: 5–8 blueberries
🐾 Extra-large dogs: 8–10 blueberries

💡 BLUEBERRY HACK: Mash or crush blueberries before serving, especially for smaller dogs. This breaks open the skin and makes the fruit easier to eat.

Sometimes the simplest nutrition upgrades are the freshest ones! 🫐
