Bush to Bowl: Wholesome Recipes for You and Your Pup
Share
At Pawsome Naturals, we believe that food is more than just fuel - it's a way to nourish, connect, and celebrate the natural goodness around us. That is why we are excited to introduce Bush to Bowl. In this unique recipe series, you can prepare delicious, wholesome meals that are healthy and beneficial for your dog.
Why Share a Meal with Your Pup?
More pet parents are seeking natural, whole-food options to support their dogs' health, just as they do for themselves. So we have created recipes that humans and dogs can enjoy, without unnecessary additives and with a full on focus on functional, nutrient-rich ingredients that promote joint support, digestion, skin health, and relaxation.
🐕 Research suggests that natural diets rich in whole foods can help improve gut microbiota in dogs, supporting immune function and digestion (Barko et al., 2018).
🐕 Functional ingredients including turmeric and flaxseeds contain anti-inflammatory properties that may aid joint health and wellbeing (Banihani, 2018).
Featuring Australian Botanicals, Staples & Everyday Superfoods
Some of our recipes highlight Australia's incredible and unique native botanicals, such as Kakadu plum, wattle seed, and lemon myrtle - ingredients long valued for their health benefits. Studies show that:
🌿 Kakadu plum contains one of the highest known concentrations of vitamin C, supporting immune function (Konczak et al., 2009).
🌿 Wattleseed is rich in protein and fibre, making it a slow-burning energy source for dogs (Dahl et al., 2012).
🌿 Lemon myrtle has antimicrobial properties that may support oral and gut health (Hammer et al., 2003).
We also include everyday superfoods like sweet potato, turmeric, and flaxseeds, making this series accessible and practical for every home kitchen.
What to Expect
✔ 🌿 Functional Meals: Recipes designed to nourish from the inside out, supporting skin health, digestion, and immunity.
✔ 🥣 Simple & Safe: Every ingredient is carefully chosen to be safe for dogs while remaining delicious for humans.

Feeding Guidelines
These meals are intended to supplement your dog's regular diet, not replace a balanced canine diet.
🐶 For Dogs: Serve as 10-25% of their daily intake, adjusting based on their size and energy needs. Ensure they continue receiving a complete and balanced meal to meet their nutritional requirements.
