Winter Wellness on a Raw Diet

Boosting Immunity, Joint Health & Skin/Coat During Cold Weather

Winter can be tough on our dogs - colder temperatures, dry air, less exercise, and increased exposure to germs all impact their overall well-being. The good news? A balanced raw diet paired with the right supplements can help support immunity, joints, and skin/coat health all season long.

Here’s how to keep your dog feeling their best through the winter months.

1. Strengthen Immunity During Cold & Flu Season

Just like us, dogs are more susceptible to illness in the winter. Supporting their immune system is essential—and a raw diet naturally helps by providing whole-food nutrients, digestive enzymes, and beneficial fats.

To give your dog an extra boost, consider adding:

Immune Boost

A powerful blend of turmeric, reishi, shiitake and antioxidant-rich superfoods designed to strengthen the immune system naturally.

Perfect for: dogs prone to getting sick, puppies, seniors or pets exposed to kennels/daycares during the holidays.

2. Support Joint Comfort in Cold Weather

Many dogs - especially seniors, large breeds or previously injured pets feeling stiffer in the winter. Cold temperatures can make joints tighter and reduce mobility.

Incorporate targeted support with:

Healthy Joints

Featuring green-lipped mussel, glucosamine, MSM, and chondroitin, this supplement helps reduce inflammation and support long-term joint mobility.

Perfect for: seniors, active dogs, large breeds, and any pup showing signs of stiffness.

Pairing joint support with raw feeding ensures your dog gets high-quality amino acids and healthy fats that help maintain strong muscles - key for protecting joints.

3. Keep Skin & Coat Hydrated in Dry Winter Air

Indoor heating, harsh outdoor temperatures, and low humidity can lead to dry skin, itchiness, and a dull coat. Adding natural omega-3s is one of the easiest ways to protect skin and reduce inflammation.

Two Raw Performance favourites for winter:

Herring Oil

Packed with omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) that support skin hydration, coat shine, brain health, and joint mobility.

Pure Salmon

A delicious, nutrient-rich protein naturally high in omega-3s to help reduce dryness, shedding, and irritation from the inside out.

4. Maintain Consistent Protein Rotation for Nutrient Balance

Winter is not the time to slack on variety! Rotating proteins helps ensure your dog continues getting a wide range of nutrients to support immunity, energy, and digestion.

Great winter proteins include:

• Beef for iron & energy

• Turkey for lean muscle support

• Duck for omega-rich fats

• Salmon for skin & joint care
