Dry Food

High-Quality Dry Dog Food

Dry dog food is a solid, pelletized dog food with a very low moisture content of about 10 to 18 percent. The higher the moisture content, the juicier and tastier the meal. Dry dog food with 11-18 percent moisture is considered soft or semi-moist dry food. Since moisture is removed during the manufacturing of dry dog food, ensure your furry friend gets enough fluids. Always keep a bowl of water readily available for your pet. The drying process reduces volume and results in high energy density.

Dry food is complete and balanced nutrition, so you do not need to supplement it with additional feed.

During production, there is a distinction between cold-pressed or extruded (briefly heated) dry food. Cold-pressed production methods heat the food to 45 to 80 degrees Celsius, compared to 100 to 120 degrees Celsius for extrusion. While cold-pressing retains nutrients and vitamins to a high extent, it does not break down plant nutrients like starch. This breakdown occurs only with heating. If these substances are not broken down, your dog may be sensitive to the food. The brand has found a good solution to this with a moderate heat extrusion process, where meat and fish are added last and only heated to 90 degrees Celsius. This preserves a lot of the vitamins and nutrients, while breaking down starch, making the food also suitable for sensitive dogs.

Dry dog food offers several important advantages, including:

• high in energy
• easy to handle
• simple storage and long shelf life
• easy transport, making it ideal for travel
• promotes your dog's dental health

Because the food is dried, it has a higher energy density and typically contains five times as many nutrients. This means your dog doesn't need to eat as much, which is reflected in the price. However, be careful not to overfeed your dog. It's easy to portion: you give your four-legged friend one to two meals a day or one portion for the whole day, if he is less fussy and can manage his meals on his own.

If you want to buy larger quantities in advance, you don't have to worry about spoilage or rapid consumption with dry food. Storage is extremely easy, as dry food does not require special conditions such as cooling or freezing. Furthermore, it promotes your dog's dental health, as chewing the crunchy pieces helps reduce plaque. If you are frequently on the go and don't want to carry so much, dry food is recommended. Furthermore, dog dry food is environmentally friendly because it produces less waste. In addition, some dogs love dry food, while others refuse to eat it. Tip: If this happens to you, you can either opt for semi-moist dog dry food or add lukewarm water to the very dry food. However, pay attention to whether your fur ball can tolerate this well and that the feed does not disintegrate and become too watery. Since the protein in the dry food is not easy to digest, you should be careful with a sensitive stomach. This is a little more sensitive for your favorite.

High-Quality Dry Dog Food for Dogs

When it comes to the proper nutrition for your beloved four-legged friend, nutrient-rich, tasty, and digestible dry dog food is an excellent choice. In our online shop, you will find a wide range of dry food varieties specifically tailored to the needs of your favorite.

We offer dry dog food that contains carefully selected ingredients to promote the health and well-being of your dog. The ingredients in our products come from controlled agriculture, which must adhere to strict quality standards, and are mostly produced regionally and in organic quality. Our products are free from artificial preservatives and colorants.

Our food consists of the following main components:

• Proteins such as duck, fish, or lamb
• high-quality fats
• carbohydrate-containing foods such as rice or potatoes
• fiber
• Vitamins, minerals, and trace elements

Protein plays an important role in metabolism and the immune system, and is necessary for tissue build-up and repair. In general, dogs need protein-rich nutrition unless they are ill. In our dry food, duck, lamb, and fish are excellent sources of protein. Fiber makes up only 1 percent of the feed, ensuring healthy intestinal activity and thus promoting a balanced intestinal flora.

Vitamins, trace elements, and minerals perform various tasks in the body. For example, B vitamins are necessary for energy production and cell formation, and vitamin A strengthens digestion and the nervous system, as well as eyes, skin, coat, and bones.

Important energy suppliers are fatty acids and carbohydrates. Fatty acids, especially Omega-3 and Omega-6, contribute to healthy skin and fur and support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Easily digestible carbohydrates include sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and red beets. More detailed information on fats, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements can be found in our product descriptions under "analytical components".

Types of meat that you can find in our assortment:

• duck
• lamb
• fish

Lamb and fish are considered low-fat and therefore easily digestible, while duck is higher in fat and is suitable for more active dogs. Sensitive dogs will be happy to be supplied with lamb and fish.

Of course, dry food is available for different life phases such as puppies or seniors, for allergy-prone dogs, and for small to very large dog breeds. For example, small dogs need smaller pieces that do not swell in the stomach and have a different nutrient composition (such as a high protein content), as they need more energy than a large dog. Due to their small stomachs, they can only consume small amounts of food and digest it quickly. If your little fur ball is a gulper, however, larger pieces might benefit them. Also, note that a senior or animals with dental problems may prefer smaller pieces. Conversely, puppies need a lot of energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins until the end of their growth phase.
