How Nutrition Impacts Your Pet’s Mood, Energy and Behaviour

by Marketing Ancestral

We often think of pet food as fuel, but what we feed our animals also has a direct influence on their mood, behaviour and overall vitality. Just as human nutrition affects mental clarity and emotional balance, the same holds true for dogs and cats.

Blood Sugar and Behaviour

Low-quality foods that are high in carbohydrates can cause spikes and crashes in blood sugar. These fluctuations may contribute to hyperactivity, irritability, or sluggishness. A diet based on quality protein and fats helps stabilise energy throughout the day.

The Role of Amino Acids

Amino acids from animal protein are the building blocks of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which regulate mood and behaviour. Without enough high-quality protein, your pet may be more anxious, lethargic, or prone to behavioural issues.

Gut-Brain Connection

There is growing evidence supporting the gut-brain axis in both humans and animals. A healthy gut microbiome, supported by whole foods and natural prebiotics, plays a role in emotional regulation and resilience to stress. 

Feeding for behaviour means choosing a diet that is rich in real, digestible nutrients that nourish your pet.
