BENEFITS OF PÉPO
Goat’s Milk: Pet Nutritionists and vets, not just abroad but also in India, have found goat’s milk to be a complete, natural and nourishing food source. Due to the presence of Lactase in high quantity and lower content of lactose (as compared to cow’s milk) it is easily digestible. It contains antioxidants, lactic acid which helps fight off harmful bacteria and is a fantastic source of probiotics. If you are looking for a natural way to improve your pets’ health, then goat’s milk is the answer!
Goat’s milk also helps in fighting modern chronic illnesses such as arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, gastric ulcer and colitis to name a few. The probiotics found in goat’s milk regulate bacteria and help in creating a healthy gut, which make it easier for your pet to digest it as well as absorb all the vitamins & minerals. It is a natural source of antihistamine, which can help reduce asthma, allergies, itching & scratching. The enzymes, fatty acids and antioxidant compounds in goat’s milk can also help in reducing joint pain & inflammation, improve circulation and reduce arthritis symptoms.
Soy Milk: For those pet parent’s who are looking out for a lactose free and/or vegan treat, we have products which are made with unsweetened raw soy milk. Soy milk is a tremendous source of proteins for pets who can’t or don’t eat meat and are not allergic to it. Absence of lactose and hydrolysed soy proteins, make it easier for your pet to digest and assimilate the nutrients. Soy milk has high fibre & potassium content which can assist with weight management, that is if your pet is facing weight or dietary issues. It is also high in vitamins, folic acid, essential amino acids, no cholesterol and contains key antioxidants which forms a great source for body-building proteins.

Using ghee or virgin sunflower oil, in the right proportion, is beneficial for your pet, it appeals to their palate, lubricates the joints, improves the skin & coat, boosts immunity, improves their vision as well as lines the gut, there by aiding in digestion.
