 Main benefits

• Grain-, soya- and wheat-free - In the case of a food allergy, it is advisable to choose a food that does not contain cereals, wheat or soya.
• Single source of animal protein - Using a single source of animal protein makes the food's composition simpler and clearer. This eases the digestive process and minimises intestinal problems.
• High proportion of animal protein - Dogs and cats are carnivores, so it is important that they have a high proportion of animal protein. Animal proteins contain all the essential amino acids needed to build and repair muscle mass and bone, and to produce the necessary hormones and enzymes.
• Free-range ingredients - Free-range ingredients are a high-quality source of protein. Free-range farming can reduce the risk of substances given to animals in industrial farming being passed on to consumers. Free-range farming has a smaller environmental impact than industrial farming, which is important for protecting the environment.
• Simple composition - The food contains only the most important ingredients and no unnecessary additives. Such foods reduce the burden on the digestive system and minimise the likelihood of an allergic reaction.

Meat - a source of animal protein:

Duck - Duck meat is very rich in animal protein, which is needed to build and repair muscle mass and bone, and to produce the necessary hormones and enzymes. It tends to be easily digestible. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation and support skin and coat health. It also contains iron and B vitamins, which are essential for your pet's health. Many animals also suffer from allergies to common types of meat such as chicken or beef, so duck can be a suitable alternative.

Carbohydrates - a source of energy:

Potatoes - Potatoes are a carbohydrate, a source of energy that is important for supplying the dog with energy. They contain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium and magnesium, which are important for health. If an animal has any sensitivity to gluten, potatoes can be a suitable alternative to cereals containing gluten. Potatoes have a low fat content and are relatively low in calories, which can make them a suitable diet for dogs that need to limit their calorie intake.

Pumpkin - Pumpkin stimulates digestion and metabolism, counters constipation, improves insulin regulation and helps protect against bladder infections. It is rich in fibre and antioxidants, supports the immune system, and contains vitamins A, C and E, as well as minerals such as magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc.

Selected ingredients

Blueberries - Blueberries are rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and vitamin C, which help neutralise free radicals in the body and protect cells from damage. Blueberries are also rich in substances called anthocyanins, which have a positive effect on eye health. Blueberries contain flavonoids, which can help lower blood cholesterol levels. They contain vitamin C and pantothenic acid, which are important for skin and coat health. These substances support collagen production and the health of hair follicles, which can lead to a shiny, healthy coat.

Brewer's Yeast - Brewer's yeast is a rich source of protein, B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, potassium, zinc and selenium. These nutrients are important for the proper functioning of a dog's muscles, nervous system, bones and skin. Yeast also contains beta-glucans, which support the immune system and help it fight infections.

Cranberries - Cranberries help prevent urinary tract infections. They support gum health. They are a source of vitamin C and fibre. They help with digestive problems.
