Why We Use Only Human-Grade Ingredients – No Compromises

At Woof N’ Whisker, our mission began with a moment of doubt. When our Japanese pet nutritionist, Naoko Okamoto welcomed her first dog, Douglas, she planned to feed him dry food—until she checked the ingredients.

The long list of artificial additives and synthetic nutrients made her pause and ask, “Is this really what I want going into his body?”

That question sparked a new direction: to create a quality pet food supplement made entirely from natural, human-grade ingredients, designed for optimal absorption and gentle on sensitive stomachs.

Today, our flakes are trusted by pet parents looking for a healthy dog food solution or a natural cat food booster to enhance daily nutrition.

What’s Wrong with Conventional Pet Food?

While commercial pet food is convenient, it comes at a cost. Most dry foods are designed for shelf life, not long-term health.

They often include:

• Preservatives that disrupt digestion

• Cheap meat substitutes and by-products

• Artificial nutrients that may not be easily absorbed

• A dry, flavourless texture that causes chronic dehydration

Naoko noticed how many dogs lived with persistent issues—tear stains, digestive problems, low energy—even when on medication. That’s when the connection between food quality and health became undeniable.

Our Balance Flake and Purfect Flake were created to bridge that gap—used as everyday dog meal toppers and cat food toppers that do more than enhance flavour—they restore balance.

Why Human-Grade Matters

Unlike standard pet food, our formulas are made with only ingredients suitable for human consumption. No compromises. 

Every element of Balance Flake and Purfect Flake is selected to:

• Support the body naturally

• Deliver real, bioavailable nutrients
  

• Be easily digested and absorbed
  

• Promote visible improvements in skin, coat, digestion, and overall vitality
  

As Naoko says, “The body absorbs nutrients from natural foods, generates cells, and maintains health.”

Rooted in Japanese Nutrition, Refined in Australia

Drawing from Japan’s long-trusted food philosophy—where balance and natural healing are central—we combined that wisdom with Western nutritional science. 

In 2006, Naoko teamed up with a Sydney-based doctor specialising in natural therapies. Together, they fine-tuned the ideal formula for cats and dogs. That partnership brought Balance Flake to life, backed by tradition, science, and years of careful refinement.

Real Food. Real Change.

The reward? Seeing pets transform. Tear stains disappear. Coats shine. Energy returns. Immune systems strengthen. The changes are consistent, lasting, and visible.

Because these are supplements, not medications, you can adjust usage based on your pet’s needs. Add flakes daily for ongoing support or only when your pet feels low. Mix the flakes with warm water for pets with poor appetite or dehydration to create a soothing broth.

We don’t compromise—because your pet’s health isn’t optional.

Choose nutrition that heals. Choose human-grade. Choose Woof N’ Whisker.
