Omni Home Cooking Supplement Review

What are the key ingredients?

Crucially, there are certain elements that a dog must have in their diet because deficiencies can cause devastating effects on their health and wellbeing over time. Consequently, this vet-formulated supplement contains all those essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids including:

• amino acids Taurine and L-Carnitine
• choline
• B vitamins
• essential fatty acids
• trace elements like zinc and copper

I know that Coco, like all dogs, needs these nutrients to keep her in good health and I am confident that she is getting what she needs when I give her this supplement.

What are the benefits of using Omni’s Home Cooking Supplement?

This is an essential supplement to be used in those situations where key nutrients are missing from your dog’s diet, because it will prevent damaging deficiencies that will negatively effect their health. It’s important to note that this is not like the kind of multi-vitamin capsule that you or I might take to boost our nutritional levels but is something that should be considered if you cook for your dog at home, or feed them commercially-prepared dog foods that aren’t nutritionally complete.

It’s fair to say that many commercially-prepared dog foods – whether plant-based or using animal products – are fortified with the required nutrients to ensure they comply with FEDIAF guidelines (the European dog food industry group). However, it’s important to note that not all of them are, including some fresh, some raw, and some ‘meat-free Monday’ style diets. If they are nutritionally complete, they should be clear about that on their labelling. If they’re not, you may want to consider this product.

If you are cooking for your dog yourself, you almost certainly won’t be able to include all the required nutrients without supplementing.

How to use them

This Omni home cooking supplement comes in the form of a seemingly very tasty, fruit pastille-sized chew and when you buy them, you simply choose the right size based on whether your dog is small, medium or large. So, there’s no measuring out or mixing pastes – just chuck them a chew!

Will your dog like it? Well, there is obviously no guarantee that this dog supplement is going to suit your pooch’s discerning palate! However, my dog Coco is an incredibly fussy eater and yet has never turned down an opportunity to eat one of these palatable, chewy morsels. And as someone who has frequently tried – and failed – to prise her mouth open to unceremoniously shove a tablet down her throat, this is a real bonus! Her furry pals have also tried Omni’s range of supplements, and there have been no refusals to date; dogs seem to love eating them.

If necessary, you can also crumble these very easily on top of your dog’s food, so overall they are very easy to use.

Our experience of Omni Home Cooking Supplements

My dog, Coco, was diagnosed some time ago with pancreatitis, and more recently with chronic gastroenteropathy – both long medical names that basically mean she has to be careful what she eats! She has been on a fully vegan diet for a long time, having shown significant sensitivities to animal proteins in vet-led elimination diet trials, but can still have occasional flare-ups even with commercially-prepared vegan dog foods.

At those times I tend to cook for her at home using quinoa, tofu, fresh vegetables and other similar ingredients. However, I know that won’t include some of the absolutely critical nutrients that a dog needs to live a healthy life, including amino acids like taurine and l-carnitine, B vitamins and trace elements. Consequently, I always use this Home Cooking supplement which I find to be a consistently good product.

And I do believe that this brand is reliable and trustworthy. I use several of their food and supplement products for Coco and always find them to be of high quality and ethically produced, and the fact that the co-founder is a vet who has overseen the formulation of this home cooking supplement (alongside nutritionists) also adds to my confidence levels. Not only that, but these 1-a-day chews are very easy to use, and our canine testing panel – comprising Coco and a few of her furry pals – see them as a treat and definitely enjoy eating them.

Yes, I have a bit of an issue with the plastic tubs that Omni Rescue uses for its supplements, but having seen them make positive changes to the packaging of their food products, I feel confident this is probably on their to-do list.

So in conclusion, Omni’s Home Cooking Supplement is vegan, clearly pretty tasty (if a little bit pricey) and ensures that in situations where their diet is not nutritionally complete, your dog’s health and wellbeing is not compromised. I can’t think of a single reason why I wouldn’t recommend it.
