ANIMAL FATS
Fats are fundamental compounds of natural diet of carnivores and are easily assimilated because they come from animal sources, not from plants or vegetables.
Scientific studies have shown that animal fats are more quickly assimilated and absorbed by carnivores, in particular the use of fish oil allows to guarantee the proper intake of essential fatty acids in addition to a good palatability of the product.
In N&D range the fat content is given by the only presence of animal fatty acids from chicken fat and fish oil, characterized by a greater contribution to EPA, DHA and the omega-3 series fatty acids.

FEW CARBOHYDRATES
The natural diet of dogs and cats contains very few carbohydrates, because their metabolism has evolved to take energy from protein and animal fat. Therefore carbohydrates are, for our animals, not first choice calories, which could contribute to the onset of diseases related to overweight like diabetes and insulin resistance. For this reason, the Natural & Delicious products have almost no carbohydrates.
Viceversa, the majority of foods on the market, contains from 40% to 60% carbohydrates, due to the presence of industrial cereals in the composition of the products.
In N&D Products, furthermore, we don't use corn but only ancestral cereals typical of italian tradition such as spelt and oats which are not GMO risk.

Medicinal plants with specific properties to a targeted effect.
Medicinal plants to a targeted effect present in the Natural & Delicious line products, reproduce the tendency of animals to select instinctively in their food, plants and herbs that they eat to cure their health and improve their wellbeing.
Natural & Delicious products are enriched with alfalfa, psyllium, rosemary, turmeric, aloe vera and green tea which tone and strengthen the organs and tissues, stimulating the elimination of toxins.
