How much does it cost to feed a dog ESSENTIAL FOODS?

People are often surprised to learn that ESSENTIAL FOODS meals cost less per day than they expected. Let’s take a closer look at the relationship between food price and quality, as well as the reasons why feeding your dog ESSENTIAL FOODS meals may cost less than you think.

#1

How much food a dog needs to eat per day to meet its body's needs depends on the nutritional value of the food. If the meal contains ingredients with high nutritional value, the dog needs less food. In addition, high-quality food with high nutritional value is gentler on the animal's digestive system because it does not have to process as many fillers. Fillers are ingredients that are added to food to increase volume - for example, corn, soy.

#2

The high nutritional value of ESSENTIAL FOODS is achieved by using a large amount of fresh animal ingredients, such as chicken, duck, lamb, venison, salmon. All of these are healthy, tasty ingredients for the dog. ESSENTIAL FOODS avoids the inclusion of cereals, rice, soy and corn in the composition of the food, as these ingredients are difficult for the dog to digest and therefore the dog cannot fully absorb the necessary nutrients from them.

#3

Dogs are not suited to diets high in starchy carbohydrates. Too many starchy carbohydrates in a dog's diet reduce the body's ability to absorb healthy nutrients from other food ingredients. This, in turn, reduces the overall nutritional value of the meal and requires a larger portion to meet the dog's nutritional requirements. ESSENTIAL FOODS nutritionists strictly monitor the composition of the food to ensure that it meets the natural nutritional needs of dogs.

#4

If the dry food is based on lower quality ingredients, it means that the food has lower nutritional value. Consequently, larger portions are needed to meet the dog's nutritional needs. Larger portions mean higher costs.

#5

Considering the relationships described above, it is clear that the price of food per kilogram is not the best way to determine how much a complete and healthy meal for a dog actually costs. The cost is based on the amount of food in grams needed to meet the dog's needs per day.

#6

And, of course, all ESSENTIAL FOODS meals contain all the important nutrients, vitamins and minerals your dog needs to enjoy a full life. A quality diet is one of the best ways to take preventive care of your dog's health - thereby ensuring a high quality of life for your dog and also potentially reducing the risk of high medical costs that can arise as a result of an unsuitable diet for your dog!
