Scottish farmed Atlantic salmon, a unique source of omega-3 (DHA & EPA). ESSENTIALS contains all three sources of Omega-3: ALA, DHA & EPA.
Trout

More Information

The BOF Principle (Behavioural Optimizing Food)

Behavioral Optimizing Food (BOF) is the principle of restoring the dog's natural diet. I practice keeps the dog's blood sugar stable, the high content of fresh meat stimulates the instincts, the low boiling temperature preserves nutritional value, berries, seeds and gentleman recall the contents of the prey's stomach and the size of the pieces ensures that the meal is always chewed and not swallowed whole.

First Bag of ESSENTIALS?

We at ESSENTIAL FOODS welcome you. With the first bag, a lifestyle change begins regarding diet. You can start for a period of 4-7 days, or directly from the first day. The first week you can expect that the dog has a little extra air in the intestines. This is because dogs, like humans, react to dietary changes. Defecation is in the same amounts, but may be a bit softer. After that you will enjoy all the benefits of choosing ESSENTIAL FOODS in both the short and long term. You are always welcome to contact us for advice and guidance.

A few words and advice for particularly picky dogs

Most dogs can not withstand the taste of ESSENTIALS. However, it can happen that they do not eat up. This is not because they are picky eaters, but because ESSENTIALS gives a different feeling of satiety. The dog is naturally saturated. If your dog is very picky, try pouring some warm water over the feed or stirring one to two tablespoons ESSENTIAL OMEGA 3 OIL in the feed.
