Tip - Suitable for all puppies from around 3 weeks of age. Prepare the food by soaking in boiled, slightly cooled water to form a porridge. Introduce the food to puppies gradually.

BOF - NEW IN PET FOOD

The principle of Behavioral Optimizing Foods (BOF) is to take advantage of the benefits of regulating and stabilizing blood sugar levels. We have achieved just that - our ESSENTIAL FOODS food has changed the lives of several animals and has earned awards and recognition. BOF ensures that your dog's blood sugar levels are stable throughout the day. Our high fresh meat content and low cooking temperatures ensure that your dog receives an excellent amount of nutrients compared to commercial dog foods. Using the BOF principles in food preparation has shown positive results. Using ESSENTIALS in your dog's diet will positively affect your dog's emotional balance. In some cases, the changes are drastic, in some not so much, but there is always a noticeable improvement.

Feeding guide

Please note that each dog has individual characteristics, as well as metabolism, and their feeding habits will be appropriate for their breed, environment, as well as the animal's activity level and age.

We recommend using this table as an initial guideline and then adjusting the daily dose accordingly by monitoring your dog's weight. We recommend feeding puppies once a day.

It is very important to always remember to keep fresh and clean water within easy reach of your four-legged friend.

IS THIS YOUR FIRST ESSENTIALS FOOD PACK?

The first pack of ESSENTIALS also brings with it a lifestyle change. Gradually introduce ESSENTIALS over a period of 4-7 days or completely switch to ESSENTIALS, you can choose the most suitable way for you and your dog. The key is to adjust the daily amount depending on your pet's needs. Overfeeding can cause loose stools. Therefore, we recommend adjusting and determining the appropriate portion size for the first 2-3 weeks. When your dog's stools are normal and your dog is happy with the amount of food, you have found the right amount of food. Once this is done, all that is left is to enjoy the benefits of ESSENTIALS.

RECOMMENDATION - start with a portion size that is about 10% smaller than usual and adjust as needed. If necessary, you are welcome to contact us with any questions about food and feeding.

Manufacturer's Letter on Essential Foods Food Color

From time to time, the color of Essential Foods dry food kibble may change, but this does not affect the quality of the food. The color variation is due to the fact that we use natural ingredients in the production of food that are grown in different climates and continents. Feed raw materials are affected by seasonality and life cycle processes. For example, fish caught in the first half of the season will be fatter and may have a different color than fish caught in the second half of the season.

In addition, the color of the food is also affected by the cooking method. Even a small increase in steam during cooking can significantly affect the color of the food. We often use an additional 1-5% steam during the cooking process to achieve the desired density of the grains, which sometimes makes them darker.

We pride ourselves on not using artificial colours in any of our products, however, due to this natural process, the colour of the grains may vary from time to time. Sometimes the colour difference is minimal, but sometimes it is quite noticeable.

We hope this information helps you understand the occasional variation in the color of Essential Foods food. If you have any additional questions, we will be happy to answer them.
