Proteins play an important role as they are an essential component of the skin and hair. The hair is made up of 95% protein, of which almost 1/3 is used for skin renewal and hair growth. The role of proteins is therefore fundamental to the beauty of the skin and coat.
By promoting satiety and the lean body mass development (including muscle) rather than fat, protein helps dogs and cats maintain a healthy weight. Fibre is also added as well as L-carnitine to help limit fat storage.
A food that is too rich in carbohydrates can be poorly tolerated and cause loose stools and unpleasant odours.
Low carbohydrate levels, well digestible proteins and the addition of functional ingredients (lactobacilli, montmorillonite, sepiolite, etc.) help to maintain good digestive tolerance.
Pentasodium triphosphate supplementation limits tartar formation and contributes to good oral health
By stimulating drinking and promoting naturally acidic urine, protein helps to maintain good urinary health.
A functional ingredient, cynarin, is also added to help dilute his urine.
Reduced phosphorus intake and its digestive chelation by chitosan help maintain healthy kidney function.
To avoid food allergies, our food does not contain beef, dairy, egg, wheat, corn, gluten or soy (ingredients that can cause food allergies), which reduces the risk of food intolerance.
High protein content and chondroitin and chitosan supplementation contribute to the proper functioning of the musculoskeletal system
A diet rich in protein and low in carbohydrates will stabilise blood sugar and insulin levels but also improve insulin sensitivity.
The protein content and vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, help maintain a strong immune system.

The food that puppies receive throughout their first year must obviously provide energy and materials to build the skeleton, muscles, and all new tissues. But nutrition does not stop there, it must also help puppies develop a fully functioning nervous system and effective immune system. Any deficiency in essential nutrients (those which cannot be synthesized by the animal's body) during this very delicate period may affect the dog's future health.
Many recipes developed by veterinary nutritionists are available for owners who wish to prepare a nutritionally balanced home-made diet for their puppy dog food needs. However, it is illusory to succeed in respecting all the required conditions because the nutritional balance of a household ration is subject to various hazards. The owner will always find it difficult to follow the recipe exactly, the necessary ingredients are not always available, and the nutritional composition of the ingredients can vary considerably depending on the origin of the product. When preparing a home-made diet, no laboratory analysis can verify the nutritional composition of the raw materials used!
Therefore, even when accompanied by the distribution of a mineral and vitamin supplement, home-made diets for dogs often show deficiencies in some essential nutrients. For a safer and more balanced alternative, consider feeding your pet a high protein food for puppies designed to support proper development. Commercially prepared dry puppy food options are often the best puppy dog food choices for consistency and reliability.
The dog is a carnivore, which means that certain nutrients it needs cannot be provided by a plant-based diet. Such diets can cause major nutritional deficiencies with serious consequences on health. For this reason, a puppy should never be fed a vegetarian diet. Instead, opt for puppy dog food that meets its natural dietary requirements—particularly high protein food for puppies in a dry puppy food form that is considered among the best puppy dog food options.
Raw meat diets (red meat or chicken) are often deficient in calcium and phosphorus. The Calcium/Phosphorus ratio is totally inappropriate for the canine species, especially in terms of bone growth. Such a diet can cause major nutritional deficiencies with serious consequences on health. For example, when fed exclusively a raw meat diet, the puppy is exposed to the risk of pathologic fractures following minor trauma.
To avoid these risks, it is advisable to feed your pup a scientifically balanced dry puppy food. These formulas are designed as high protein food for puppies and are considered by many veterinarians as the best puppy dog food to ensure long-term health and development.
