Still not sure how AltuDog food is made? We explain everything you need to know!

All the ingredients we use to make our dog food contain fibre, vitamins and essential nutrients for a good diet and nutrition, in both human and animal food. The dehydration process is also extremely important. It’s carried out at low temperature and manually in order to control the whole process and ensure that the products don’t lose their properties. At Altudog, we mix different natural products to achieve the highest quality, ensuring that your pet’s diet is as healthy and balanced as possible.  Below we invite you to discover the wonderful combination of ingredients in our dog food.

- Brown rice: excellent source of carbohydrates, and rich in digestive fibre.

- Flax and salmon oil: these products contain omega 3-6-9 fatty acids, which are widely known for their medicinal properties. Omega 3-6-9 is excellent for lowering cholesterol and supporting a healthy heart. Perfect ingredients for breeds that tend to be overweight.

-Freeze-dried whole egg: contains plenty of protein and calcium to nourish the muscular and skeletal system.

- Garlic powder: rich in essential antioxidants. Garlic keeps your dog in top form. It regulates all their cellular functions and significantly supports their blood pressure.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that AltuDog is a dehydrated food, which means it takes up less space and is easier to transport without losing its properties. The price you pay per kilo of AltuDog food doesn’t include water, as is the case with other brands. All you need to do is add the water to the food yourself at home, let it stand for about 10 minutes and it will be ready to eat.

Therefore, 1 kilogram of dehydrated product is the equivalent of 4 kilograms of super premium dry food.

The dog is an omnivorous animal, with a recent carnivorous past, teeth designed to tear meat and a gut that prevents meat from rotting. Their proper diet is composed of raw meat with some fruit and vegetables. Bone is also an indispensable element in their diet, both for its nutritional value and for its teeth-cleaning function. To improve animals’ nutrition, it is best to opt for a natural food or BARFdiet, which stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. The natural diet studies the diet of animals in the wild, mimicking their foods by using natural, wholegrain and raw ingredients.

The benefits of a natural diet for dogs

The main benefit of a natural diet lies in gastrointestinal function, which has several consequences:

✔️ It will improve their mood and energy, as the nutrients in natural food provide more energy. Strengthens joints and bones, resulting in less mineral loss in the bones and preventing arthritis.

✔️ Healthy and shiny coat, with a reduction in body odour and skin allergies.

✔️ Improvement in faeces smell and lower volume. Raw meat contains enzymes that lead to better absorption of nutrients and healthy digestive function.

✔️ Hydrating while eating avoids liver and kidney stress. Digestion of dry food is slower and more burdensome, as the body has to hydrate the food itself to absorb nutrients. If your pet is vomiting dry food, it’s likely due to a lack of moisture and enzymes in the food.

✔️ Boosts the immune system, the natural diet provides necessary vitamins, minerals and fatty acids.

✔️ By avoiding processed foods the animal will not suffer from obesity. They will lose body fat and gain muscle mass until they reach their ideal weight.

✔️ Clean and healthy teeth will reduce bad breath. The idea that dry food helps to remove tartar is false, and we can easily demonstrate this: Nowadays the vast majority of dogs are fed with dry dog food, so why is there such a high percentage of dogs with tartar?
