The composition of dog food and the right combination of nutrients

Both the nutrients and high quality ingredients in pet food make a big difference. However, high quality nutrients are especially important because the body absorbs them, not the ingredients. The optimal combination of nutrients is provided by quality ingredients, which are determined based on research from the veterinary community, as well as taking into account the following principles:

• Feed ingredients are selected for nutritional content, quality and taste.
• Thanks to a balanced combination of quality ingredients, the food contains proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals and provides the dog with all the nutrients it needs.
• Individual ingredients do not make food better or worse, the main thing is the combination of products in its composition.

How does the body get nutrients?

Nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Feed ingredients are a source of nutrients for the body. For example, corn provides the body with carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, and proteins. These nutrients are essential for good dog health. It is easier for the body to absorb and use nutrients from high-quality ingredients. Thanks to this, the health of the pet remains optimal.

Below is a detailed description of which dog food ingredients provide the body with key nutrients and how they benefit your dog.

• Corn, rice, barley, sorghum are carbohydrates for energy and other nutrients for healthy skin and coat.
• Animal fat, fish oil and vegetable oil – fats and essential fatty acids for energy, more flavor and healthy skin and coat.
• Chicken and turkey, lamb, and egg flours are high quality proteins for muscle tone, development, and healthy skin.
• Cellulose, soy flour, and beet pulp are sources of fiber and promote intestinal health; some are useful in weight control.
