Fresh meat
Fresh meat and offal provide granules with protein, fats and, primarily, a great taste. Thanks to the juice from the meat, the dry food obtains a genuinely excellent taste. Fresh meat and offal also contain a whole number of minerals, for example zinc, iron, copper, magnesium, selenium and vitamins, primarily in group B. Fresh meat contains amino acids, which are necessary for tissue growth and renewal.
Dried Meat
Dried meat gives pet food the same nutritious substances as fresh meat. But, as the name indicates, the ingredient does not contain water. It therefore contains a high concentration of protein. Its use is necessary so that pet food has a sufficient quantity of animal protein. In combination with fresh meat, it offers the best way to produce pet food that is very tasty and has a predominance of animal protein.
Salmon Oil
Oils and fats are the most abundant source of energy, they are a building block for cells. They protect from heat loss, help absorb vitamins and also contribute to the creation of some hormones. Last but not least, they have a very marked influence on the quality of a dog’s coat. Salmon oil is a rich source of essential Omega 3 fatty acids, which have a marked role in a number of processes in a dog’s organism.
Lamb Fat
Lamb fat is technically hard to process into pet food, so you do not find it in many animal feeds. Lamb fat is very attractive to dogs. Roughly half of lamb meat comprises unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial to the organism.
Chicken Fat
Chicken fat is an excellent source of Omega 6 essential fatty acids. All animal fats are very tasty and easy to digest for dogs. Therefore, they should be the base of dog food.
Pork Fat
Pork fat is a rich source of energy and contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. It gives pet food a marked taste.
