Tallow isn't just for the family — plenty of pet owners add a little to their dog's meals for a natural nutritional boost.
As a source of clean animal fat, it can support a glossy coat, steady energy and healthy joints, especially in active or older dogs.
Start small: a teaspoon for smaller dogs, up to a tablespoon for larger breeds, stirred into their usual food a few times a week.
As with any change to your pet's diet, introduce it gradually and check with your vet if your pet has specific health needs.
Many owners tell us the coat shine is the first thing they notice — it's one of our favourite bits of feedback to get.
