Product Description

Local Kale, pumpkin & blueberries. Natural antioxidants. Whole-food bowl boost.

Back 2 Basics Antioxidant Blend is a locally made, whole-food topper made with kale, pumpkin, and blueberries. Finely pureed for easy mixing and digestibility, this colourful blend adds naturally occurring antioxidants, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and plant nutrients to your pet’s regular meals.

Blueberries and kale provide antioxidant-rich phytonutrients, while pumpkin adds gentle fibre to support healthy digestion and stool consistency. It’s an easy way to add fresh whole-food variety to raw, cooked, or dry diets for dogs and cats.

The Benefits

✔ Made with kale, pumpkin, and blueberries
✔ Naturally rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients
✔ Provides gentle fibre to support healthy digestion
✔ Helps support the body’s natural defences against oxidative stress
✔ Provides naturally occurring vitamins and minerals
✔ Adds colourful whole-food variety to regular meals

How to Use

Spoon directly over your pet’s regular meal, frozen or thawed.

Start with a small amount and gradually work up to approximately 5–10% of the meal, adjusting based on your pet’s size, diet, and tolerance. For cats, use a smaller amount as an occasional topper.

Antioxidant Blend is intended as a supplemental topper and is not a complete meal.

Pro Tip

Freeze Antioxidant Blend into small silicone molds for convenient, ready-to-serve portions. Serve slightly frozen as a meal topper or let it thaw and mix directly into your pet’s food.

Good to know: Antioxidants are naturally found in colourful whole foods like blueberries and kale. Adding a small amount to your pet’s regular meals is an easy way to introduce more plant variety without overcomplicating the bowl.

Ingredients
60% kale, 30% pumpkin, 10% blueberries

Cats: equal to 2-10% of their diet

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Back 2 Basics Antioxidant Blend?

Back 2 Basics Antioxidant Blend is a raw whole-food topper for dogs and cats made with kale, pumpkin, and blueberries. It’s an easy way to add natural fibre, antioxidants, and a little extra variety to your pet’s regular meals.

Are blueberries good for dogs and cats?

Yes, in appropriate amounts. Blueberries provide naturally occurring antioxidants, including anthocyanins, along with fibre and other plant nutrients. In this blend, they’re pureed with kale and pumpkin to make them easy to add to your pet’s meal.

What are the benefits of antioxidants for dogs and cats?

Antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress caused by everyday processes in the body. Foods like blueberries and kale naturally provide antioxidant plant compounds that can help support overall health and normal immune function.

Why is kale included in the Antioxidant Blend?

Kale naturally contains vitamins, minerals, fibre, and antioxidant plant compounds. Because it’s finely pureed in the blend, it’s easier for dogs and cats to digest than large pieces of raw vegetables.

Does the Antioxidant Blend support digestion too?

Yes. Pumpkin and the other plant ingredients provide natural dietary fibre, which can help support healthy digestion and normal stool consistency.

How do I serve Back 2 Basics Antioxidant Blend?

Spoon it over your pet’s regular meal frozen or thawed. It works well with raw, fresh, canned, freeze-dried, or dry food and makes an easy whole-food topper.

How much Antioxidant Blend should I give my dog or cat?

Start small and adjust based on your pet’s size and tolerance. For dogs, the blend can make up a small portion of the meal. For cats, use smaller amounts as an occasional topper, since cats naturally require a meat-based diet.

What ingredients are in Back 2 Basics Antioxidant Blend?

Just three: 60% kale, 30% pumpkin, and 10% blueberries. No fillers or unnecessary ingredients, just a simple blend of whole foods designed to add fibre, antioxidants, and variety to the bowl.
