100% Hydrolysed protein food for dogs.
What is a Hydrolysed food?
Hydrolysation is a process that simply put, break
proteins down into smaller pieces. This scientific
process reduces the chances of allergic reactions
and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) responses.
How we hear you howl?
They make them harder for the body to recognise, a
little bit like putting the wrong glasses on and seeing
a familiar face from a distance, you’d be unlikely to
recognise them!
While not a guaranteed success this food style is
often recommend by vets for pets that have
suspected allergies or intolerances.
The Sciency Bit
Pets bodies identify which animal a protein comes
from, so whether its chicken, venison or even goose
they’re all processed dependant on how their
identified, a little like a barcode, with a hydrolysed
diet this isn’t the case.
Intact proteins are more likely to cause an allergic
response, dogs and cats may react to specific
proteins, the body detects and reacts, however when
protein “chains” are broken down creating smaller
more manageable chain lengths (peptides) we
reduce the animals ability to detect the protein
source.
The Goldilocks Principle
It’s easy to assume that an intact protein would be
the easiest and most suitable protein for a dog to
digest along with all of the supporting nutrients. On
the flip side some may think an individual amino acid
would be so small it could be digested perfectly...
However just like goldilocks, research tells us they
must be “just right” in size. Small chain peptides
provide the ideal absorption and digestibility rates.
Collagen
Is it as beneficial to pets as it is humans?
Collagen has taken the human therapeutic &
pharmaceutical industry by storm.
Most people will of seen a collagen based product
advertised for humans, anything from skin care to
health products.
Collagen plays an important role in maintaining
integrity of some of our organs & tissues in the body,
and our pets can also benefit from type I & Type III
collagens.
90% of the protein content in bones, meaning its essential for
bone health. Types I & II are crucial components of cartilage,
Tendons & Ligaments, making it a key component to maintaining
flexibility and mobility in order dogs and promoting healthy
strong joints in younger more spritely dogs.
Type I & III contribute to a healthy skin and coat condition,
potentially even reducing dry itchy skin and improving its elasticity, while providing essential support to improve that glossy coat.
Collagens in our Gastrointestinal range have been seen to
support intestinal health & even aids in maintaining a barrier
which stops potentially harmful substances entering the body!
Fish peptides have demonstrated their ability to suppress
appetite molecules, this can help short term with portion control
and longterm reduce body fat %, and potentially improve
overall health.
