No Gimmicks, Just Goodness: Why Our Ingredients Actually Matter

Let’s get one thing straight: your dog doesn’t need a "Sunday Roast", "Hotpot" or a "Shepherd’s Pie" – they’re not waiting for the gravy boat. Those names? They’re for you, not them.

At Riva’s Pups, we skip the fancy marketing fluff and go straight to what matters: real ingredients that support your dog’s health in a natural, holistic way. Every recipe is cold-pressed to lock in nutrients and packed with powerful, functional ingredients. Not a trend in sight – just nature doing its thing.

What makes our food actually good for your dog?

Here’s what’s working hard behind the scenes:

🌿 Nettle
Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich, and brilliant for seasonal allergies and joint health. We include it in every recipe and sell it as a supplement too — because it really works.

🌊 Seaweed
Supports thyroid function, boosts the immune system, promotes healthy skin and a glossy coat, and helps reduce plaque. All that, from one little sea plant.

🌱 Chicory Root (Inulin)
A natural prebiotic that feeds the good gut bacteria. Better digestion, stronger immunity, steadier energy. No drama, just solid belly support.

✨ Turmeric
Joint-loving, digestion-soothing, inflammation-fighting golden goodness. We include it because it does something — not because it sounds fancy.

🌼 Dandelion Root
Supports the liver and acts as a gentle detox. Bonus: it’s packed with fibre for gut health too.

🍠 Beet Pulp
Fibre that helps firm up the poo (we said it), supports healthy digestion, and is gentle on sensitive tummies.

🍏 Apple
Natural sweetness, fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants. Crunchy goodness that helps support immunity and digestion.

🌾 Fennel Seed
Perfect for gassy pups or sensitive bellies. Calms the gut and reduces bloating.

🌿 Thyme, Sage, Oregano
Tiny herbs with big benefits. Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich and great for immune support and respiratory health.

🌼 Rapeseed Oil & Linseed Oil
Rich in omega-3 and 6 fatty acids for skin, coat, brain and heart health. A glossy coat starts here.

💪 Glucosamine & Chondroitin
Added to every bag to support joints and mobility – especially helpful for active dogs, growing pups, and older ones too.

The Riva’s Difference?

We don’t add ingredients to sound clever on the label. We add them because they’re proven to help your dog thrive.

You won’t find shepherd’s pie flavour. Or pretend casseroles. Just clean, cold-pressed recipes with superfoods that work. We do dog food differently – and your pup will feel the difference.

💚 Simple ingredients. Powerful impact.
