N D Prime Lamb Small Breed Adult Dog Food Lamb and blueberries. It is a 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 with or without health problems, 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 animals living with their own families instead of in laboratories, without making any lifestyle changes other than diet in accordance with animal welfare. The functionality of the products is improved in this way, within the framework 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. Lamb, high-quality red meat, is a strong protein source and is supplied by New Zealand farms. This lamb dog food is rich in essential fatty acids and linoleic acids that prevent cancer, and supports lean muscle mass. N D Dog Foods Are GMO-Free 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 prefer not to use potentially GMO ingredients. We intend to protect the health of pets in our N D Dog Food production, and since the risks of GMOs are still unknown, we do not take risks. New toxins and allergens can alter resistance and reduce nutritional value. Some studies have observed structural changes in the ileums 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. GMOs are not 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) and factors that disrupt and negatively impact the ecosystem. For all these reasons, we strive to provide the healthiest and highest quality life for our four-pawed friends without damaging the ecosystem we live in together. Because we believe this is the key to happiness. This adult dog food, which contains all the necessary nutrients for adult dogs, is listed in the best dog food category based on ingredient quality and customer satisfaction.

We Pay Attention to Having a Low Glycemic Index in N D Dog Food The natural diet of dogs has evolved to meet all their energy needs from animal proteins and fats, almost without carbohydrates. All industrial market foods contain carbohydrate ratios ranging from to , and this actually means unwanted calories. Carbohydrates in conventional grains used in dog foods, 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 types of carbohydrates are critical. What is Glycemic? The glycemic index (GI) is a scale of 1-100. The lower the score, the slower it raises a dog's blood sugar level. We Use Quality Carbohydrates in N D Dog Food 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 technology ensures even mixing of the raw materials and even cooking with even heat distribution, thus increasing digestibility. The use of primordial grains such as hulled wheat and oats supports better energy levels throughout the day. Some foods and diets may require the use of carbohydrates, in which cases we use potatoes and rice as carbohydrate sources. Because these carbohydrate sources guarantee an increase in energy. It is classified as grain-free dog food according to the proportion of grain 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 especially 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 purchased from breeders in Italy contains higher quality polysaturated fats than pork and beef fats. At the same time, chicken oil is delicious for pets. Fish oil is rich in Omega-3, which is animal fat, 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. Supplementary Foods Vitamin A 15000IU

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 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 in Farmina products have been determined and developed to be physiologically and pathologically appropriate for pets. Thanks to the vacuum system used in Farmina product production, the vitamins are added after the cooking process, protected from mechanical and thermal stress. In this way, the vitamins last longer and are more stable. Organoleptic additives Aloe vera extract 1000mg green tea extract 100mg rosemary extract. We Use Natural
Fiber for Nutritional Balance in N D Dog Foods. Consuming the right amount of
fiber in a balanced diet plays an important role in regulating bowel movements and also affects 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 the Italians, supports bowel movements and ensures regular stool consistency. Pure cellulose, used in some dietary formulas, is the main source of insoluble
fiber. It is a key factor for intestinal peristalsis and is especially used in treatments requiring a reduced calorie intake. Highly soluble pea
fiber forms a mass that slows intestinal transit and enables 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 pets 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, obtained from natural sources, are added to our entire scale during the storage of raw materials and the final product: 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 Values Crude protein 4.00 crude fat .00 crude

However, this varies depending on the pet's pathophysiological condition, age, and breed. In dietary formulas developed specifically to address pathological disorders, Farmina Pet Foods places particular emphasis on adjusting mineral amounts to compensate for the metabolic deficit caused by certain pathological disorders and or to maintain the functionality of relevant organs. N D Dog Foods Contain Botanical Ingredient Support. Farmina formulas utilize botanical compounds that support healthy living. 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 used.
