Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are superfoods and why are they in dog food?

Prevention is better than cure, grandma always says. That's why we use five types of fruit in each variety with particularly high levels of vitamins, provitamins and antioxidants, so-called superfoods. Superfoods can help your darling stay healthy in a natural way. Because superfoods are also great for dogs :) The following superfoods are in our food: Aronia berries: Studies have shown that the blue-black berries of the Aronia (chokeberry) have anti-inflammatory, cholesterol-lowering, vasodilatory, blood sugar-regulating and antioxidant effects. Aronia has a mild laxative effect, so it promotes urine production and can reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. The small berry also seems to be well suited to lowering blood pressure and the fat content in the blood. A true superberry. Rose hips: Rose hips have a high proportion of vitamins and provitamins, such as vitamins C, A, B1, B2 and E. They can help against spring fatigue and prevent colds. Rose hips also gently promote bowel movements and help the body to form new immune cells. Goji berries: Goji berries are not only rich in vitamins, but also in antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from cell damage and thus counteract aging. No wonder they have been used in Chinese medicine for over 4,000 years. A manual for doctors from the Ming Dynasty states: "Regular consumption of goji berries regulates the vital flow of energy, strengthens the entire organism and gives a long life." So just the right thing for your darling. Blueberries: The blueberry, also called bilberry, is native to our latitudes. Ronny's personal favorite berry. Blueberries are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant effect, meaning they intercept free radicals that cause cell damage. They also contain many vitamins such as vitamin C. But also beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is converted in the body into vitamin A, which supports the function of the eyes. Blueberries have anti-inflammatory properties, can help the skin with its natural protective function from the outside, but also help with digestive problems from the inside. And the great thing is: blueberries have very few calories, perfect for a low-calorie, low-carbohydrate diet. And they taste simply delicious. Sea buckthorn: Some people call sea buckthorn the lemon of the north. Actually, that's not true, because the vitamin C content in sea buckthorn is many times higher than in lemons. This means that sea buckthorn protects the immune system in a natural way. In addition to many other vitamins, the berries contain potassium and magnesium. Both substances support muscles and nerves, while the calcium they also contain strengthens bones. Finally, sea buckthorn berries are also rich in tannins. Tannins give many medicinal plants, such as sea buckthorn, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and mucous membrane-protecting properties.

2. What are natural herbs and why are they in dog food?

Natural herbs are herbs that have been used in naturopathy for hundreds of years. In our food, for example, you will find marigold and wild pansy. Both are said to help your pet to have a shiny coat and bright eyes. Wild pansy is often used for skin problems and can ensure a shiny coat and bright eyes. Due to its mild properties, it is often used in naturopathy for children and older people. It is therefore also very suitable for sensitive dogs. In addition, wild pansy can help against rheumatism, gout and joint inflammation thanks to its valuable ingredients. Marigold supports wound healing and can reduce dry skin and inhibit inflammation. It is also said to have a positive effect on the immune system. In naturopathy, marigold is used to support conjunctivitis. And all this with the power of nature.

3. What is devil's claw and green-lipped mussel and why in combination?

As we get older, we become more clumsy and our movements are no longer as fast as they were when we were younger. Everything just takes time. Our pets are the same. This makes it all the more important to support bones and joints preventively in advance. Devil's claw comes from Africa and has been used there for hundreds of years. Devil's claw reduces swelling and promotes the mobilization of stiff joints. In naturopathy, it is mainly used to treat joint pain, rheumatism, arthrosis and other joint diseases. It also stimulates digestion. Green-lipped mussels contain ingredients that are also found in synovial fluid. This means that they can naturally slow down the aging process of your pet's bones and joints. The shell of the green-lipped mussel also provides calcium - naturally. In combination, both ingredients, devil's claw and green-lipped mussel, can be far more effective than adding them alone.

4. Why do you not have just one oil, but two oils in your food: linseed oil and safflower oil?

A sufficient supply of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is important for your pet's cell metabolism. The dog cannot produce either of these fatty acids itself, so they must be part of a high-quality food. Each type of food from Naturalis DOG contains a balanced mixture of linseed oil and safflower oil. Linseed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B and E. It supports a thick and shiny coat. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect and stimulates the appetite. Of all cooking oils, safflower oil has the highest number of unsaturated fatty acids, especially many important omega-6 fatty acids. It also contains the important vitamins A and E. With their active ingredient tocopherol, thistles promote wound healing and reduce skin problems. The combination of linseed oil and safflower oil provides your pet with all the important fatty acids and can help to balance the gastrointestinal flora in a natural way and also maintain it. And both oils are naturally cold-pressed, which is gentler and means that more valuable ingredients are retained.
