Ingredients Dr. Sofia Bonilla, co-founder HOPE Pet Food Kasey Dunn, co-founder HOPE Pet Food Photos: HOPE Pet Food ideas, formulations and new products to market. "The most important thing is to give our pets enough food, but not too much, and with the right balance of nutrition for the age and size of animal. We feel it is important to offer feedking recommendations on the pack of our products." How have things changed in the last few years? "Dog food has changed. There has been a trend towards humanization. We feel the scientific option with pet nutrition can give the animals what they need," says Dr. Bonilla. "Even in the past two years I would also say the sustainable aspects have grown throughout the pet food industry." Kasey Dunn: "Pets are not humans. They should be allowed to be the best animals they possibly can." How can pet nutrition improve health or reduce disease? "It is important to feed animals the appropriate amounts. Lazy or older pets need fewer calories," according to Alex Camara. Dr. Bonilla added "The risk of contamination and inclusion of toxins is greatly reduced by using insects rather than fish or meat. There is a danger of factory farming getting out of control. Every batch we process at HOPE is thoroughly tested for pathogens and other problems. We work with a completely traceable supply chain." What challenges do you have in the production and packaging of your food? Kasey Dunn: "We have been very fortunate with our suppliers and processors. It is good to work with regional companies who share our values. Equally in the packaging area we are always looking to improve our options, especially in recyclability." What will the future bring for pet food and for HOPE? Sofia Bonilla: "We at HOPE believe that alternative proteins will be the future. These can be insects such as black soldier flies, but also algae or fungi. or a combination. We need to find the right balance of nutrients from different sources. We believe there is sufficient diversity to help us avoid synthetic supplements. Of course we are also on a learning curve, but we have a scientific basis to what we do." "Right now more puppies than ever are being brought home due to the remote working conditions of the pandemic. More furry friends to feed means that sustainable options are more important than ever," continued Kasey Dunn. "HOPE Pet Food is on a mission to make highquality, environmentally sustainable pet food with the power of science, innovation, and kindness. People often ask if dogs like our treats? The proof is in the pudding, ask my dog. She will definitely let you know. There's nothing weird about it, just bugs.” "The science also forms part of our series of blogs, which we offer to customers and pet parents all over Canada and beyond," concluded Alex Camara. Thanks for your time and inspiring comments. What would be a fair summary of HOPE Pet Food's vision? Our vision is to make high-quality, sustainable pet food with the power of science, innovation, and kindness. All three are essential ingredients. Ask Jasper!

She is a Clinical Pet Nutritionist certified by Academy of Natural Health Sciences, New Jersey, currently pursuing doctoral studies in Pet Nutrition. Geet has been practising as a pet nutritionist for six years and has also designed foods for some leading pet food companies in India. What food should I feed a senior dog having problem in one of the hind legs? Feed fresh foods, good quality protein along with healthy fats, Bone broth is excellent for healing joints and also helpful for senior dogs. Bone broth is rich in collagen which promotes bone and joint health. Apart from this, do feed good amount of omega 3 fatty acids either by way of roasted and ground flaxseeds or ghee or supplements. If you can feed whole fish, that will be helpful too. However, bone and joint problems are solved with a combination of weight bearing exercises and diet. Diet alone will not be sufficient.
