Nutrients
If you want to find out exactly what goes in to our dog food products and exactly what your dog will get out of them, have a flick through our Nutrients pages.
Protein: Sourced primarily from human food grade chicken and beef, the protein in Wagg provides a wide range of essential and non-essential amino acids, necessary for all aspects of growth and development. Protein helps to maintain strong muscles, provides calories and is essential for a healthy immune system.
Oil: Your pets need added fat for energy and the provision of other essential fats for good health. We try to formulate an optimum ratio of omega 6 & 3 fatty acids to promote a healthy skin and a glossy coat.
Fibre: We use sugar beet, which is a digestible fibre that helps gut mobility and aids the digestive process.
Ash: This occurs naturally in the diet providing essential calcium, phosphorous and other vitamins & minerals. It’s a must for strong teeth, bones and general good health.
Vitamins, Minerals and Added Extras
Vitamin A (Retinyl Acetate): An antioxidant vitamin which is great for healthy vision and bone growth.
Vitamin C: An antioxidant vitamin important in many metabolic processes and required for healthy tissue growth, repair and healthy gums.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Helps in the absorption of calcium for healthy teeth & bones.
Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol Acetate): A strong antioxidant vitamin to help support a healthy immune system.
B Vitamins (Thiamine B1, Riboflavin B2, Niacin B3, Calcium Pantothenate B5, Pyridoxine B6, Biotin B7, Folic Acid B9): All of these vitamins have complex roles including the release of energy from food, maintaining a healthy nervous system and healthy skin & hair.
Copper (Cupric Sulphate): This contributes to the pigmentation of hair, skin and eyes and also helps in the absorption of iron.
Calcium & Phosphorous: These play a major role in the development and maintenance of strong teeth and bones. It’s important to get an optimum ratio of these two minerals for good health.
Pre-Biotics: We use the pre-biotic yeast mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS), which supports digestion by mopping up pathogenic bacteria making it more difficult to for them get established in the host animal. This encourages a healthy population of good bacteria required for an effective digestive system.
