Lyka meals are gently steamed to promote healthy digestion, reduce risk of pathogens, and maximise the gut-friendly phytonutrients in your Border Collie's diet.

Our food is formulated with highly digestible ingredients full of fibre, with an emphasis on low-glycaemic index carbohydrates to avoid blood sugar spikes that cause damage to the gut lining.

Lyka’s real food formulation includes prebiotic and probiotic ingredients, and contains the optimal omega 6:3 ratio to encourage gut lining health and repair. A diet rich in omega-3 fats can help reduce inflammation in the intestines, which could contribute to digestive issues. A food intolerance is more common than a food allergy, but they often have similar symptoms, so speak to your vet for advice and treatment.

The best way to address your Cavoodle’s allergy is by identifying and avoiding the trigger. If the problem is their food, a vet-directed elimination trial can help to identify the ingredient.

Allergies activate your dog’s immune system, which is mostly regulated by their gut microbiome.

Lyka real food is designed to promote your Cavoodle’s microbiome, improve their immune function and nourish their skin. Each ingredient is selected for its health benefits like anti-histaminic shiitake mushrooms, anti-inflammatory spirulina and omega-3 from fish oil. Lyka meals also include skin-loving zinc, omega-6 from safflower oil and vitamin E oil to boost their skin barrier.

Certain ingredients in highly processed dog food — like grain-fed proteins and cereal grains — can cause inflammation, making skin issues worse for dogs with allergies or intolerances.

Switching to real food like Lyka that’s low in carbohydrates and free of common allergens, can reduce flare-ups and boost skin health with healthy amounts of omega-3 and targeted ingredients.

The best dog food for Border Collies with joint issues is one high in anti-inflammatory ingredients, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.

These diets can ease the pain or discomfort of inflammation, while encouraging tissue repair and improved mobility.

Obesity can affect breeds with even the highest levels of activity: this includes Border Collies. Border Collies are more susceptible to joint issues, which can be made worse by carrying extra weight.

Highly processed foods often use high glycaemic index carbohydrates, which has been linked to obesity in dogs. Lyka avoids these ingredients, with custom serving sizes and lean proteins in our line-up to support weight management.

Puppies need food that contains the right amount of nutrients to support their physical and mental growth at a healthy rate.

Contrary to popular belief, puppies don’t need special puppy food if their diet is already nutrient-rich and contains an appropriate amount and balance of calcium and phosphorus, making Lyka the ideal food.

Lyka meals are custom portioned to suit your Border Collie puppy’s breed and growth milestones, so they get the right nutrients for their age.
