Why grain-free?
Gastric torsion - a dangerous condition:
Gastric torsion, medically known as gastric torsion, is a life-threatening emergency in which a dog's stomach rotates on its own axis, blocking both food intake and drainage. This leads to a rapid build-up of gas in the stomach, which can cause pain, bloat and ultimately death if not treated immediately.
Symptoms: rapid accumulation of gas, pain, bloating and potential risk of death.
Why cold-pressed grain-free food is helpful for gastric torsion: Cold-pressed dog food offers some specific advantages, especially for large dog breeds. An important aspect of choosing cold-pressed dog food is that it is grain-free.
But why should dog food be grain-free? Dogs are semi-carnivores by nature, and although they are able to digest grain, it is not always the optimal food source for them. Some dogs may be sensitive or allergic to grains, which can lead to digestive problems, skin irritation or other health issues.
No swelling: Cold-pressed food does not swell in the stomach, reducing the risk of gastric torsion.
Cold-pressed dog food is not developed exclusively for large breeds. Small and medium-sized breeds can also consume it and benefit from it.
Getreidefreiheit: Unabhängig von der Größe der Rasse ist es wichtig, dass das kaltgepresste Hundefutter getreidefrei ist. Dies minimiert das Risiko von Allergien und Verdauungsproblemen.
Hoher Fleisch- oder Fischanteil: Ein hoher Fleisch- oder Fischanteil gewährleistet eine artgerechte und nährstoffreiche Ernährung für den Hund.
Zusammenfassung: Kaltgepresstes Hundefutter eignet sich für Hunde aller Größen, von klein bis groß. Es ist jedoch von entscheidender Bedeutung, auf eine getreidefreie Zusammensetzung und einen hohen Fleisch- oder Fischanteil zu achten, um eine optimale Ernährung für den Vierbeiner zu gewährleisten.
Grain-free: Regardless of the size of the breed, it is important that the cold-pressed dog food is grain-free. This minimises the risk of allergies and digestive problems.
High meat or fish content: A high meat or fish content ensures a species-appropriate and nutritious diet for the dog.
Summary: Cold-pressed dog food is suitable for dogs of all sizes, from small to large. However, it is essential to make sure that it is grain-free and has a high meat or fish content to ensure optimum nutrition for your four-legged friend.
Cold-pressed grain-free dog food is particularly beneficial for large dog breeds. It minimises the risk of stomach upsets and offers a better nutritional option for dogs that are sensitive to grains. It is a sensible choice for all dog owners who want the best for their four-legged friends.
