the history of pro-nutrition
The complete dog and cat food market started with "Flatazor Mincette", followed by "Flatazor Top" for puppies, then "Flatazor Soupe".
Creation of new kibbles adapted to the needs of dogs and cats thanks to extrusion and our key ingredient: fish autolysates. Inauguration of our Macaire Pet Food factory in Brittany (western France).
Flatazor dog and cat food began to be exported in 1987, accounting for 25% of sales, with destinations in Europe, Scandinavia, the French overseas territories, the West Indies and the United States.

Ingredients of the highest nutritional quality
Pro-Nutrition nutritionists select each ingredient in the composition of our food according to its nutritional profile and quality, in order to cover the needs of dogs and cats, in sufficient quantity and in a balanced way, and thus achieve the ideal nutritional balance for good health.
Hydrolyzed marine collagen
It contains low-molecular-weight collagen peptides, which give it its biological properties and make it bioavailable. In the body, collagen is present in muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and joints (cartilage). Cartilage forms the junction between bones in joints. It helps maintain strength and elasticity. When tissues deteriorate, a lack of flexibility can occur, resulting in reduced joint mobility.
Fish autolysates
Fish Autolysate is derived from wild sea fish; autolysate is a natural process that promotes autodigestion of organic material by the enzymes that fish naturally contain. Fermented Fish Autolysates are rich in fatty acids (omega-3), omega-6, peptides and polypeptides.
Apple fiber
The apple fibers selected by Pro-Nutrition contain polyphenols, natural antioxidants 4 times more powerful than vitamin C and 5 times more powerful than vitamin E. Apple pectins are easily assimilated by the body and gently regulate intestinal transit.
Animal proteins
Meat and fish proteins are chosen for their digestibility (>85%), richness in essential amino acids and low mineral content. Animal and vegetable fats (duck fat, rapeseed oil, etc.) are selected for their freshness, fatty acid profile and palatability.
THE SELECTION OF OUR RAW MATERIALS
Thanks to its network of local suppliers, Pro-Nutrition has privileged access to first-rate ingredients. Each selected ingredient is subject to strict specifications, established after validation by an approval procedure. Each receipt of raw materials undergoes multiple controls. French manufacturing, respectful of the environment!
