The principles of nutrition

Of course, food has to supply energy, but it also has to build and maintain the body.

To fulfil these objectives, the diet must be very precisely formulated.
Proteins, minerals, trace elements, vitamins, fats, carbohydrates - each group of nutrients plays its role.
Their quantities must be exact, neither too much or too little, in order to attain the objectives for each dog.
A nutritional food, meeting the demands of Health Nutrition, will combine just the right amounts of nutrients

Food choice

You have a number of choices when it comes to meeting your puppy’s nutritional needs, ranging from home-made foods to completely manufactured foods (whether in the form of kibbles, cans, or pouches).

Home-made foods

These are foods you make yourself, using rice, meat and vegetables. Apart from the satisfaction of cooking for your puppy yourself, this type of feeding has several major disadvantages, in particular the difficulty of making a home-made food into a balanced diet with exactly the right amount of nutrients. If the result does not contain enough of the vital nutrients in the correct proportions, your puppy could suffer from major nutritional deficiencies, with resulting poor growth and long term damage to your puppy’s health.

Manufactured foods

Choose a Health Nutrition food for your puppy which will offer a complete, balanced package of all the nutrients he needs during growth.
They are manufactured to made to the highest standards of quality and safety.
