Eating Aligned: How Serving Your Pet Seasonal Superfoods Helps Them Thrive Year Round
As humans, many of us know the joy of eating seasonally. Juicy berries in the summertime, hearty squash in fall, leafy greens in spring. It just feels right. Seasonal foods don’t just taste better; they nourish us in tune with nature’s rhythms, offering exactly what our bodies need at the right time of year.
Your pets are no different. Just like us, dogs and cats benefit from foods that align with the cycles of nature. When we crafted our seasonal veggie blends, we worked our nutritional alchemy with this philosophy in mind: designing each blend is to support your pet’s body through the shifting energies of fall, winter, spring, and summer.
Dr Keith Weingardt, Green Juju's vet partner, broke down the calendar to explore how seasonal eating can help your pet feel balanced, grounded, and thriving year-round.
Fall: Ground and Nourish with Golden Blend
As the spicy days of summer fade into the coolness of autumn, our bodies crave grounding, comforting foods. The same goes for our pets. Golden Blend is built for this season of transition, with warming, digestion-supporting ingredients like ginger and turmeric.
- Butternut squash fortifies immunity by nourishing the spleen and supports digestion.
- Golden beets help build healthy blood cells and gently aid detox pathways.
Together, these ingredients strengthen immunity, ease seasonal dryness, and support a smooth shift into autumn. Think of it as a cozy sweater in a bowl — gently warming, nourishing, and grounding your pet as they settle into fall.
Winter: Restore with Vitality Blend
Winter is nature’s pause. It’s a season for restoration, going inward, and conserving energy. Pets, too, can benefit from the nourishing foods in our Vitality Blend, helping them build strength during the stillness of these colder months.
- Parsnips and fennel to restore energy and tonify Qi.
- Venison bone broth for strength, recovery, and joint support.
- Ginger and turmeric provide gentle warmth, keeping digestion strong against the cold.
This blend is like a hearty stew for your pet — warming, fortifying, and perfect for helping them stay resilient all winter long.
Spring: Cleanse and Renew with Just Greens
Spring is the season of renewal and upward movement. For humans, it’s when we crave crisp greens and lighter foods after the heaviness of winter. Pets benefit from the same shift.
Just Greens supports this spring energy, delivering a burst cleansing and gently detoxifying plant power.
- Dandelion greens to support healthy liver function.
- Parsley to refresh and brighten digestion.
- Lemon to clear stagnation and reset the body.
This blend helps your pet “spring clean” from the inside out, keeping them light, energized, and ready to move with the season’s rising energy.
Summer: Cool and Balance with Bailey’s Blend
Summer brings outward energy, activity, and heat. Just as we reach for cooling, hydrating foods like cucumber and berries, pets thrive when given foods that help them regulate temperature and stay balanced.
Bailey’s Blend is formulated for the dog (and cat) days of summer, with:
- Cucumber and celery for cooling hydration.
- Green cabbage to support circulation and calm the system.
- Blueberries for antioxidant-rich balance.
This blend is refreshing and restorative, helping your pet stay cool, calm, and collected through the hottest months.
