Rain. Almost 80 percent of dog and cat owners pay attention to the feed quality of their favorites when shopping. And that's a good thing – because the right feed has a significant impact on health and well -being of the four -legged friends. The declaration already gives the first information on the back. Basically, the higher the sum of the percentage specified ingredients on the back of the packaging, the more transparent the manufacturer is, which usually indicates good quality. But what makes good animal feed?
Quality features for good food
As with humans, a nutritional balance is also important for animals to optimally support health. Animal feed should contain a balanced mix of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The base forms high -quality and good digestible proteins. High -quality feed is particularly characterized by a high proportion of animal proteins, as they are essential for healthy growth. The high-quality wet and dry food from Dehner Wild Nature, for example, contains at least 60 to 70 percent animal proteins. It is based on a near -natural diet based on the wolf's model and the wildcat. The composition of good dog food differs significantly from good cat food in certain areas. An example of a balanced feed for a medium -sized dog could be: 70 percent animal and 30 percent vegetable ingredients. Additions from fruit and vegetables provide vitamins. A certain proportion of fiber is also important. In general, food must be coordinated and adapted to the respective living conditions, such as age and activity.
Cats need an even higher protein content than dogs. Ideally, cat food should contain over 95 percent animal proteins, as with Dehner Wild Nature Katznassfutter. In addition, as a carnivore, cats do not necessarily need vegetable content in the feed. The amino acid taurine is often added to cat food, which cats need to build and function their central nervous system.
A good feed is characterized by the fact that it contains only valuable and necessary ingredients and dispenses with additives such as flavor enhancers, milk, added sugar or dyes. The Dehner's own brands offer a large selection of feeds without additives.
Incolorities and allergies
You should also consider intolerance and allergies of the animals when choosing the feed. It is estimated that almost every fifth dog suffers from allergies or feed allergies, whereby high -quality feed with clear ingredients can reduce the risk of allergies. Frequent allergy triggers in dogs are soy or grain, such as wheat. Alternatively, you can use hypoallergenic feed, using alternative protein sources/monoprotein such as lamb, fish or wild meat in order to exclude the allergy -causing ingredients. Dehner has a wide range of monoprotein feed in various flavors.
