In case you didn’t know it… I have a real soft spot for senior dogs.
I was gifted with the sweetest and most loyal little girl for 17 years, a small but strong warrior who passed away at the age of 12 because of a genetic disease and… Now Pepper too is entering his golden years.
I always try to give him the best. All dogs deserve only the best!
From food to treats to supplements.
And today I would like to bring to your attention a wonderful, little known, supplement to help our dogs maintain their mental functions sharp throughout the years.
It is great for senior dogs, actually, a real must – but also younger fellas would definitely benefit from it.
Company Overview: Four Leaf Rover
Ingredients
Four Leaf Rover is an American company, that works with top holistic vets to make the very best natural human health products accessible for dogs and cats. All products are human-grade, making it the best choice, especially compared to the pet industry, invaded with low-quality products.
I completely agree with their view that, if food or supplements are not suitable for human consumption, they should not be suitable for pet consumption either.
On top of that, all Four Leaf Rover products are manufactured with the environment in mind.
Their ingredients are very carefully chosen. While they must benefit our dogs, they must also be sustainably grown without pesticides, herbicides and other toxins that can damage our planet.
Every dog deserves healthy products that are free of harmful and synthetic ingredients. And every dog deserves an environment that’s safe and free of toxins.
All products are ORGANIC, GLUTEN FREE, NON-GMO and have NO FILLERS.
Packaging
They also use minimal packaging with the least amount of planetary impact. While glass is an environmentally friendly choice, it’s heavy to ship and demands a lot of fossil fuels. And metals require a lot of energy to manufacture and can leach harmful chemicals into the ground.
They chose to opt for 100% recycled plastic containers for their products. The PET plastic used is BPA free and is globally recognized and tested as a safe, easily recycled packaging material.
Lightweight PET containers need fewer raw materials to produce, less fuel for transport and are still completely recyclable into carpets, T-shirts, shoes, luggage, automotive parts and more.
Product Review: Four Leaf Rover, Brain Food – Bovine Brain
Four Leaf Rover Brain Food for Dogs:
- Supports Brain Function – Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) supports healthy brain and memory recall in your pets. It plays a part in regulating the structure, function, and development of the neurons and synapses that form the brain’s internal communication network. While BDNF levels are at their highest in younger ages when the brain is developing, it still remains a key player in the adult brain. It is responsible for neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to grow and form new connections) and for long-term memory[1],[2],[3].
- Pasture-Raised – Sourced from grass-fed calves in the clean air of New Zealand, the world leader in biosecurity and has never seen a case of mad cow disease. Interesting note: Brain Food is fully sourced from grass-fed calves in New Zealand, not Argentina. Argentina is the world’s largest user of glyphosate (herbicide).
- Rich in Omega-3 Fats – Omega-3 fats help maintain a normal inflammatory response and support a healthy immune system.

Pepper and I, absolutely recommend this product!
It smells good (fair enough, this is a plus more for the owners) and seeing how Pepper devours his food, I believe it to be also extremely palatable.

Don’t wait any longer, sadly dogs age much faster than we do – and unfortunately, cognitive functions are widely attacked by free radicals.
