WHY CHOOSE POOCH & COMPANY DOG FOOD Why Choose Pooch & Company Premium Dog Food: Pooch & Company is a complete premium dog food offering convenience without compromise. Our premium dog food contains only high quality ingredients, no cheap fillers, and is nutrient rich. It will provide your dog with all the proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals that they require to maintain good health. The Ingredients: When you compare the ingredients and nutritional values of our Premium food against others you will be pleasantly surprised to find it is in fact, by volume, less expensive and healthier for your dog. Our premium food contains high levels of good quality protein sourced from human grade meat and poultry products. Preservatives: We use no chemical preservatives (which are often added to pet foods and can be damaging to your dogs health), instead we choose to use the natural antioxidants Vitamin A and E to preserve the food. The good health of our dogs is paramount. Your dog can maintain good health and well being by having a wholesome well- balanced meal and sufficient exercise. What your dog eats has a huge impact on his or her health, energy and condition. Many ailments are caused by poor quality foods lacking in good quality nutrients, or those that are not properly balanced and contain ingredients dogs’ find hard to digest. The Building Blocks of Health Nutrients are the building blocks for your dogs’ health. Nutrients are elements or compounds that are necessary for your dog’s metabolism, growth, and all other functions. Essential nutrients must be supplied from food because your dog’s body cannot synthesize sufficient amounts.
WHY CHOOSE POOCH & COMPANY PREMIUM DOG FOOD CONT…….. There are 6 main categories of essential nutrients, these are: Proteins: Roughly half of your dogs’ body is made up of protein. Protein is a nutrient made up of amino acids that are the building blocks for your dogs’ body. Proteins are necessary in your dogs’ diet, since dogs’, unlike humans, cannot synthesize all the amino acids they need and must obtain them from food. Only good quality protein is used in Pooch & Co Premium, as poor quality protein is difficult for a dog to digest. Fats: Fats are highly digestible, very palatable, and provide energy. Dogs metabolise fat the way humans metabolise carbohydrates. Your dog’s body will always use fat to convert into energy before protein or carbohydrates. Poor quality types of fat will lead to various problems, the most obvious being a coarse, dull coat and dry, itchy skin. Carbohydrates: The carbohydrates contained in Pooch & Co Premium are properly processed so that your dog can easily digest them. (Dogs do not produce the enzymes required to break down plant cell walls). The high quality carbohydrates within the food contain many nutrients as well as fibre. In many dog foods, grains and grain by-products are substituted for meat (or fish) as a cheap (and incomplete) source of protein, not because of their carbohydrate content. Fibre: The term “fibre” refers mostly to complex carbohydrates that are not digested by the enzymes in the small intestine of your dog. Some fibres are partially digested by the beneficial bacteria present in the large intestine. Fibre is necessary for your dogs’ health as it helps transport the stomach contents through the intestines and promotes regular elimination. Vitamins: Vitamins are organic substances required by the dogs’ body in small amounts for many metabolic processes. Most vitamins cannot be synthesized by your dogs’ body and need to be supplied with the food in sufficient quantities. Healthy Dog. Minerals: Minerals are essential, inorganic compounds necessary for life, which your dogs’ body cannot synthesize. Pooch & Co Premium contains all the essential minerals your dog will need. Water: Make sure your dog always has plenty of fresh, clean water to drink. If you restrict access to water your dog will be obliged to drink as much as possible when it is available. This is not healthy and may lead to stomach upsets and bladder infections. If your dog prefers, Pooch & Co Premium can be served with an added splash of water.
NATURAL CANINE NUTRITION A poor diet can leave your dog feeling tired and run-dog and prone to infections. Pooch & Co Premium foods are formulated to meet the nutritional requirements to ensure your dog is healthy and ready for work and play. Chicken, Lamb and Fish: All human grade and of the highest quality. Brown, Pearl Rice and Barley: Complex carbohydrates easily and slowly digested to maintain energy levels. Chicken and Fish Oils: Contain essential Omega fatty acids for skin, joint and heart health. Sugar Beet and Peas: Rich sources of fibre and packed full of iron. Oats: Soluble fibre resulting in slower digestion and an extended sensation of fullness. Egg: Good source of readily digestible protein and essential amino acids for puppies and junior dogs. Linseeds: Source of Omega 3 & 6. Seaweed: High in Iodine to regulate metabolism and hormones. Brewers Yeast: One of natures best sources of B-Vitamins. Yucca Extract: Natural deodoriser which helps reduce flatulence. Antioxidants: Naturally preserved with Vitamin E Chondroitin, Glucosamine and MSM: Combined to help promote healthy joints and aid mobility in growing and older dogs.
OUR KIBBLE Pooch & Co Premium kibbles are specially designed to ensure maximum palatability and are “friendly” because we have taken into account all of the following: Texture: Texture is important to dogs. Puppies and smaller dogs prefer smooth kibbles. Density: The correct density of the kibble ensures that it is satisfactorily crunchy when fed dry, but easily soaked for those dogs preferring a moist diet. Size: Kibbles are an appropriate size and shape for the age group at which they are produced for.
RECOMMENDED FEEDING CHARTS The feeding chart will give an estimation of the daily feeding WEIGHT OF DOG AMOUNT OF FOOD quantity based on your dog’s weight. PER DAY It is important to remember however that these figures are guidelines only, and there are several factors to be taken into account when assessing your dog’s nutritional requirements : 2.5kg 60-90gms Activity level: Working dogs and those with high activity levels 5kg 90-120gms require more calories for energy than those leading a less active 7.5kg 120-160gms life-style. 10kg 160-210gms Temperament: Stressed animals burn off more calories than 15kg 210-270gms relaxed ones. 20kg 270-285gms Metabolism: Every animal is an individual with his or her own speed of metabolism; this means that 2 dogs of the same age, 25kg 285-315gms breed and weight could have different daily calorie 25-27kg 315-415gms requirements. 30-35kg 415-505gms In order to provide the correct portions, it is also helpful to 35-40kg 505-525gms assess your pet’s appetite, visual appearance and stools is one of the best indicators of health. Increased frequency of passing 40-45kg 525-550gms faeces, production of large quantities of stools of loose motions are often frequent signs that an animal is receiving more food 45-50kg 550-590gms than he or she requires. 50-55kg 590-635gms Please ensure a supply of fresh drinking water at all times.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How do I change my dog onto Pooch & Company Premium dog food? When changing your dog's diet, it is important to do it gradually over a period of up to seven days. This is necessary so that your dog’s digestive system can become accustomed to the new food. Whether you’re changing from canned food or from another dry food, start by mixing a small amount of the Pooch & Co Premium with the previous food. Over the next few days, steadily increase the amount of the Pooch & Co Premium while reducing the amount of the previous food, until you are feeding your dog entirely on the Pooch & Co Premium. Changing gradually in this way should avoid any digestive upset and your dog should take readily to the new food. Does Pooch & Co Premium dog food contain any unhealthy artificial additives? No, it does not. As well as being a hypo-allergenic food, our Premium dog food is natural and wholesome. Unlike some other brands of dog food, we do not add any artificial flavours, preservatives or colours. There is no added BHT, BHA or ethoxyquin. And the antioxidants that we use are natural Vitamin E and Vitamin C. Does it matter if I moisten the food? You can serve Pooch & Co Premium either with or without added water in the bowl, according to your dog's preference. For the best dental and oral hygiene, we recommend that Pooch & Co Premium should be fed dry or lightly moistened, to allow the crunchy biscuits to clean your dog’s teeth. For added palatability, it is sometimes a good idea to add a small quantity of warm water to the dry food. This brings out the aroma of the food, which many dogs adore! If your dog has tender teeth or gums, you can soak the food until it is soft before feeding. Always supply plenty of clean fresh drinking water at all times. Do I need to add any other food to the Pooch & Co Premium? No, you don’t. Pooch & Co Premium is a complete dry dog food containing all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that your dog requires for a full, healthy life. The food has been carefully formulated so that it is both nutritionally complete and also correctly balanced. Therefore you don’t need to add any extra food or any supplements to Pooch & Co Premium . In fact, doing so would probably upset the nutritional balance of the food. It is designed to be fed on its own (with a separate bowl of fresh drinking water) and this way will meet all your dog's nutritional requirements.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CONT……. Which variety of Pooch & Co Premium should I choose for my dog? The best variety for you to select will depend on your dog’s age, breed, activity level and weight. All those factors will affect the nutritional requirements of your dog. In view of this, Pooch & Co Premium have a complete range of dog food that will cater for your dog's needs whatever their stage of life, from puppies to senior. How much should I be feeding my dog? The correct amount of food to serve will be determined by your dog’s age, weight and activity level (see Recommended Feeding Guidelines page). Does Pooch & Co Premium dog food contain undesirable 'animal derivatives' e.g. beaks and feathers? No, it does not. Unlike many other dog foods, we do not conceal our ingredients by listing them in mysterious categories like "meat and animal derivatives" or "derivatives of vegetable origin". We believe that to make the best food you need the best ingredients and we are proud of the fact that we use only the highest quality ingredients and list them fully and clearly on our packs and literature.
