And Now For The Science

In our natural raw dog food, all ingredients are processed without being heated first, except cereals, which are first germinated. This is a huge advantage, because when raw materials are heated, enzymes are killed, vitamins are neutralised and fat is saturated.

Proteins and lipids come from fresh chicken, beef and lamb meat. This means very little egg white has to be used in order to obtain the ideal amino-acid pattern.

For an adult dog,

10 amino acids are essential

. But when the dog is still growing, it also needs arginine and histibine. So,

young dogs need 12 essential amino acids.

In nature, or in natural dog food such as DUCK, this is not a problem, because fresh meat contains all amino acids in the right proportion.

(if, as in DUCK , the correct balance between organ meat and muscle meat is maintained)

The unsaturated fat, especially from poultry, produces unsaturated essential fatty acids. We complete these with vegetable oil from sunflower pits and wheat germs.

Thanks to its deep-freezing process, DUCK contains enzymes, natural vitamins, minerals and micro nutrients that are assimilated in an optimal way.

The carbohydrates and raw fibres contained in DUCK are provided by germinated cereals of constant quality and in identical proportions. This makes digestion problems practically impossible. Because the germination process of cereals does not reduce the amount of nutrients but of vitamins, we add vitamins, minerals and micro nutrients, of course in the right proportion.

The natural meat juices not only provide the most digestible iron, but also make the intake of huge quantities of water superfluous. Drinking too much dilutes the gastric acid, and this does not benefit digestion.
