Joint inflammation doesn't just cause pain — it creates oxidative stress that damages cartilage over time. That's where antioxidants come in, and blueberries are absolutely packed with them. This colourful bowl combines lean turkey with antioxidant-rich blueberries, vitamin C from spinach, and anti-inflammatory turmeric to fight joint damage from the inside out. Think of it as your dog's anti-aging meal.

📊 Nutrition Notes
Blueberries contain anthocyanins — powerful antioxidants that help neutralise free radicals causing joint damage. Turkey provides lean protein with tryptophan which can help with pain-related anxiety. Spinach adds vitamin C which supports collagen production in joints.
💡 Tips
- Frozen blueberries work just as well as fresh
- Don't overcook the spinach — fold it in at the end to retain nutrients
- This is a great meal for active breeds prone to joint wear
- Can add a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra omega-3s
