Diamond Dog Food & Bakery recognises the important properties of this simple seed & now incorporate it into all their specially prepared dinners, biscuits & bakery treats.
Chia seeds were initially added to the signature range of dinners which were already packed with nutritional value from the combination of excellent quality lamb, beef or chemical free chicken with liver, rolled oats and fresh garden vegetables.

Then, came the discovery of chia flour which has all the same properties as the seeds. This is now being used in all of the Diamond Dog baked goods such as Boutique biscuits, doggy muffins & even in the Doggy Birthday Cakes.
The main reasons for using chia can be simply explained:
All the properties of chia that are good for humans also have an extremely positive effect on our dogs.
As an added benefit chia has no discernable odour and almost no taste so it could be simply added to the Diamond Dog Dinners without altering the carefully balanced flavours that our dogs have come to love. There are also no known allergies to chia & it can be stored easily for long periods of time plus it is totally organic so no preservatives or chemicals to be concerned about.
We all want to keep our beloved pets with us for as long as possible and at Diamond Dog we believe that a key factor in this is their nutrition & being involved in all aspects of their family's life.
