N D Low Grain Lamb Small Breed Adult Dog Food. Lamb, dehulled wheat, oats, blueberries. Complete food formulated for adult dogs. As the Farmina Family, We Striving for a Healthy Life for Your Dog One of the main features of our scientific studies conducted by FVR (Farmina Veterinary Research) is to produce special dog foods for all pets, whether they have health problems or not, and to offer the best nutritional solution in collaboration with dozens of independent veterinary clinics operating in many European countries. These studies include studies conducted with their families instead of in laboratories throughout the trial studies, without making any lifestyle changes other than diet in accordance with animal welfare. The functionality of the products is improved in this way, out of respect for pets. We Carefully Select the Raw Ingredients of N D Dog Foods The meat and eggs we carefully select are obtained from certified farms with high quality standards. Our carefully selected ingredients, such as chicken, lamb, wild boar, and eggs, are obtained from certified farms with high quality standards. Fresh Italian chicken (GMO-free) is preferred as chicken meat. Feathers and low-quality parts are not used. Choosing only high-quality fresh meat increases the biological value of this chicken dog food and ensures its digestibility at a 5-10 rate. N D Dog Foods Do Not Contain GMOs The European Union has restricted the use of GMOs but allows them in very low amounts. As Farmina, we have adopted the precautionary principle and do not prefer to use potentially GMO ingredients. We intend to protect pets in our N D Dog Food production and since the risks of GMOs are still unknown today, we do not take risks. New toxins and allergens can change their resistance and reduce the nutritional value. Some studies have observed structural changes in the ileum of pets fed GMO foods, altered cell proliferation in the gastric mucosa and intestinal tract, abnormal gene expression, functional changes in hepatocytes and zymogen synthesis disorders, increased triglyceride levels, liver hypertrophy, renal function disorders, and hepatorenal toxicity have been observed. GMOs aren't limited to animal nutrition they also include environmental changes (such as reduced biodiversity, the spread of pesticide residues in plants, and the promotion of the evolution of more resistant parasites) that disrupt and negatively impact the ecosystem. For all these reasons, we strive to provide the healthiest and highest quality life for our four-legged friends without damaging the ecosystem we live in. Because we believe this is the key to happiness.

We Take Care to Have a Low Glycemic Index in N D Dog Food The natural diet of dogs has evolved to meet all of their energy needs from animal proteins and fats, almost without carbohydrates. All commercially available dog foods contain carbohydrates ranging from 1 to 200 calories, which actually represent unwanted calories. Carbohydrates in traditional grains used in dog food, such as glucose, provide high energy that peaks the post-meal glycemic response. In these cases, the post-meal insulin response to glucose and the modulating ability of different carbohydrates are particularly critical. What is Glycemic? The glycemic index (GI) is a scale of 1-100. The lower the score, the slower the dog's blood sugar rises. We Use Quality Carbohydrates in N D Dog Foods. We use only premium, non-genetically modified, hulled wheat, oats, potatoes, and rice in the production of N D dog foods. These ingredients are fresh raw materials processed using cutting-edge technology that guarantees excellent digestibility. The double-screw extrusion system ensures even mixing of the raw ingredients and even cooking with even heat distribution, thus enhancing digestibility. The use of primordial grains like hulled wheat and oats supports better energy levels throughout the day. Some foods and diets may require carbohydrates, and in these cases, we use potatoes and rice as carbohydrate sources. These carbohydrate sources guarantee an increase in energy. It is classified as a low-grain dog food due to the grain content it contains. We Use Natural Oils in N D Dog Food. Fats are the most important energy source for carnivores, while essential amino acids also determine the flavor of the product. Farmina particularly prefers chicken and fish oil when choosing oils for its products. Among the vegetable oils, flaxseed oil is rich in linolenoic acid, an essential fatty acid for dogs. Chicken oil sourced from breeders in Italy contains higher quality polysaturated fat than pork and beef fats. Chicken oil is also delicious for pets. Fish oil is rich in animal fats like Omega-3 and EPA and DHA, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Polyunsaturated fats, on the other hand, have important effects on skin and coat health and have an anti-aging effect. This adult dog food, which contains all the necessary nutrients for adult dogs, is listed in the best dog food category considering the quality of its ingredients and customer satisfaction.

N D Dog Food Gets Its Vitamin Additives from Fresh Fruits Vitamins are essential nutrients for proper nutrition. Because vitamins play an important role in the realization of biological reactions. Vitamin deficiencies can show specific and obvious symptoms in some cases, while in other cases, symptoms can be vague or only accompanied by weakness. Therefore, appropriate daily intake must be ensured for all vital functions to continue properly. The amounts of vitamins contained in Farmina products have been determined and developed to be physiologically and pathologically appropriate for pets. Thanks to the vacuum system used in the production of Farmina products, the vitamins are added after the cooking process, protected from mechanical and thermal stress. This makes the vitamins longer-lasting and more stable. Organoleptic additives Aloe vera extract 1000mg green tea extract 100mg rosemary extract. We Use Natural Fibers for Nutritional Balance in N D Dog Foods Getting the right amount of
fiber in a balanced diet plays an important role in regulating bowel movements while also affecting the absorption of various nutrients. The main
fiber sources in Farmina products are beet pulp, pea
fiber, pure cellulose, and dried alfalfa. Beet pulp, used by Italians, supports bowel movements and ensures regular stool consistency. Pure cellulose, used in some diet formulas, is the main source of insoluble
fiber. It is an essential factor for intestinal peristalsis and is especially used in treatments that require a reduction in calorie intake. Pea
fiber, with its highly solubility, forms a mass that slows intestinal transit and ensures the absorption of micronutrients. Dried alfalfa is a good source of micronutrients such as carotene and calcium. Some specific prebiotics, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and mannanoligosaccharides (MOS), compete with and eliminate pathogenic bacteria, thus benefiting the intestines. Psyllium seeds are rich in absorbable
fiber, ensuring optimal absorption in the digestive system. They also support nutrient absorption and maintain regular stool consistency. When selecting the
fiber blend to use in each formula, Farmina considers the physiological and pathological conditions to which pets are prone, as well as the pathological conditions to which specific breeds are prone. Antioxidants: Natural-origin extracts rich in tocopherols. We Use Natural Antioxidants in N D Dog Food. Antioxidants not only protect food but also benefit pets during ingestion: antioxidant levels in the body reduce the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals such as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) often cause oxidative damage, which is the initial cause of chronic and degenerative diseases. These protective antioxidants prevent cellular aging and reduce oxidative stress. TBHQ, BHA, and BHT are synthetic antioxidants used in food, and their effects on pet health are still under debate. Numerous studies have linked the bodily values of these ingredients, especially when consumed in high doses, to changes in pets' internal organs. As the N D brand, we have decided to include only natural antioxidants in all our formulations. These antioxidants, derived from natural sources and added to our entire product range during both raw material storage and final product processing, include: carotenoids, retinoids (vitamin A), bioflavonoids (citrine), polyphenols (hydroxytyrosol), tocopherols (vitamin E), and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Many fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants. Analytical Components Crude protein (.00 crude fat .00 crude

However, this varies according to the pathophysiological condition, age and species of the pet. In dietary formulas developed specifically to improve pathological disorders, Farmina Pet Foods uses and or It places particular emphasis on regulating mineral intake to maintain the functionality of the organs involved. N D Dog Foods Contain Botanical Ingredients Farmina uses botanical ingredients to support healthy living in its formulas. These ingredients are used in various combinations in both its healthy pet food series and its clinical nutrition diet series. Fruits such as apples, pomegranates, blueberries, cranberries, and oranges are particularly popular.
