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.
