Dry dog food – what is it?
What is dry food??Is this the same as dry food??What does it affect??What are its advantages??Is this a complete meal or a snack??We’ve included answers to these and many other frequently asked questions about our latest product in the article below.
Let's start by saying that dehydrated food is NOT dry food.These are not the same products—the differences between them are primarily evident in their ingredients and production methods, as well as in their appearance—they are not pellets, but kibble.This dry food is made from fresh meat, organ meats, fruits, and vegetables of HUMAN GRADE quality—a designation used for high-quality ingredients intended for human consumption.They are also combined with ingredients such as flaxseed, Yucca Mojave, and seaweed, but you can read more about that later in the text.
The production process for dry pet food
Returning to the production process of dry dog food—a mixture of meat and offal, vegetables, fruits, and other nutritious ingredients is formed into kibble, which is then dried using warm air, allowing the food to retain its natural taste and aroma, while also becoming crispy.Drying is an alternative to processes such as sterilization—in the case of wet food—or extrusion, which takes place at temperatures as high as 130°C—in the case of dry food.In the drying process, which is carried out at a lower temperature, unprocessed raw materials are dehydrated, ensuring that the food has a long shelf life and is safe to eat.The production method for this dry food perfectly combines the crunch of dry food with the deliciousness of wet food—no dog can resist it!
Superfood – that is?
Although the Dolina Noteci Superfood line of dry foods is based on meat and offal (beef, duck, lamb, turkey, goose, venison, chicken, and pork), their high nutritional value is also due to the use of ingredients known as superfoods, such as seaweed, which is a source of micro- and macronutrients—primarily iodine, which accounts for m.in.for proper metabolism and iron absorption, ensuring healthy blood function.Seaweed is also rich in beta-carotene and chlorophyll, which have antioxidant properties, as well as particularly valuable omega-3 fatty acids.Due to its high content of glucosaminoglycans, the addition of New Zealand green-lipped mussel becomes important.It helps regenerate joints, and the presence of silicon in the form of silicic acid has a beneficial effect on skin function.The addition of brewer’s yeast, on the other hand, provides a source of prebiotics (mannan-oligosaccharides and β-glucans), which stimulate the beneficial bacteria in a dog’s digestive tract, thereby supporting the immune system.They are also a source of B vitamins, which support proper nervous system function and promote healthy skin.Other ingredients in the formula include: flaxseed, psyllium, Mojave yucca, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate.It is precisely these ingredients described above that make the Dolina Noteci dry dog food a true superfood among dog foods.
In addition to all the ingredients listed above, fresh fruits and vegetables are a particularly important addition to the Superfood line of pet foods (carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, peas, asparagus, tomatoes, spinach, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, apples, oranges, cranberries, goji berries, and the particularly valuable flesh of avocados).In addition to adding variety to a dog’s daily diet, each of these is a source of polyphenols, anthocyanins, and carotenoids.That sounds complicated?These ingredients simply ensure your dog’s proper and healthy development and help slow the aging process; regular consumption also helps prevent the development of inflammatory and degenerative diseases.
