Frequently asked questions
How can we guarantee the efficacy of the probiotics in our Pro-Nutrition products?
Simply incorporating probiotics into a food does not guarantee their efficacy! It is essential to ensure that these beneficial, living, fragile micro-organisms remain alive until they reach the intestine. From the manufacture of the feed to its digestion by the animal, probiotics are subject to numerous constraints that can alter them considerably. To preserve all their benefits, Pro-Nutrition has developed an exclusive protection technology to deliver the right quantity of live micro-organisms in the right place at every meal.
Why do we use plants in our veterinary products (PROTECT)?
The use of phytotherapy in veterinary medicine is an excellent complement to conventional medicine. In some cases, it can even replace it. PROTECT is a range of dietary foods designed to provide nutritional solutions to the most common pathologies and metabolic disorders affecting dogs and cats. To reinforce the effectiveness of our foods, all PROTECT formulas incorporate a diverse blend of plants whose virtues are recognized for their positive effects on the health of dogs and cats.
What do proteins bring to animals?
Proteins are essential molecules for life, both for humans and for dogs and cats. Dietary proteins provide the body with amino acids, which are used as building blocks for all the proteins synthesized within the body to ensure its physiological functions.
Gluten-free food: what's in it for dogs?
Cereals are not harmful to dogs. Only two breeds are sensitive to gluten-containing products.
- Some lines of Irish Setters develop gluten enteropathy. This is a genetic pathology, similar to celiac disease in humans.
- Gluten is thought to be a factor in epileptoid cramp syndrome in Border Terriers. It manifests itself in episodes of neurological disorders, associated with digestive problems.
For a gluten-intolerant dog, a change of diet to gluten-free dog food is essential.
What are the benefits of grain-free kibbles for our pets?
We all want to preserve our pet's health by giving it the best possible diet. So the question arises: kibble with or without cereals? Giving a dog or cat grain-free kibble means providing a healthy diet. Pro-Nutrition Pure Life cereal-free and gluten-free foods are adapted to the nutritional needs of dogs and cats according to their physiological status.
