Why go for grain-free kibble?
The dog food market can be tricky to find your way around in if all you want is to give your dog the very best. However, one rule of thumb is that you generally get what you pay for.
If your dog switches to a high-quality grain-free kibble like ESSENTIALS, you’re likely to notice positive changes in your dog’s well-being.
Here are some factors to consider when looking for a new dog food
The choice between grain-free and run-of-the-mill kibble depends largely on your dog’s specific needs. Some dogs may have grain intolerance or allergy, which makes grain-free meals a better solution, while other dogs have no problems on a grain-based diet. The quality of the kibble is also a big factor given that not all ingredients are ideal.
There are many benefits to grain-free kibble
Allergy-friendly
More and more dogs are found to have allergies, just like us people. Grain-free dry meals are a good solution as they provide the natural nutrition a dog would enjoy if living in the wild. Our meals are primarily made with large amounts of meat, fish and healthy greens, which give your dog the protein, vitamins and minerals they need.
Digestion-friendly
Grain-free kibble is also gentle on the canine digestive system, especially if you go for a premium-quality variety composed of fresh ingredients for a naturally digestible diet.
Breath-friendly
Halitosis, or bad breath, is a common problem in many dogs, and may be due to multiple factors, including their diet. If your dog’s breath is less than fragrant, it may help to switch to a grain-free kibble without fillers, made with premium ingredients.
Energy-friendly
Grain-free kibble gives your dog stable energy, as it cuts out the empty carbs that instantly get converted into sugar, causing a short-term energy spike. When your dog is getting the right nutrition, they also get the energy needed for keeping active and happy.
Grain-free kibble for all breeds, sizes and life phases
GRAIN-FREE MEALS, FROM PUPPIES TO SENIORS
Grain-free meals for puppies
Looking for the ideal kibble for your puppy? We recommend going grain-free. From the outset, ESSENTIALS has focused on creating grain-free meals for puppies because of all the benefits. Bearing in mind that small and large breeds have different nutritional needs, you should choose kibble to match your dog. We offer ESSENTIAL the BEGINNING for puppies reaching an adult weight of 15 kg, and ESSENTIAL the BEGINNING LARGE BREED for those weighing more than 15 kg.
Grain-free meals for adult dogs
Looking for the ideal kibble for your adult dog? From the outset, ESSENTIALS has focused on creating grain-free meals for adult dogs because of all the benefits. Our entire LIVING range has been developed for adult dogs with a normal activity level, and to cater to every flavour preference. Our different varieties are packed with fresh meat, fish, vegetables, berries, fruit and herbs. And naturally grain-free, too. They are also prepared on the basis of our BOF principle to keep your dog’s blood sugar stable.
Grain-free kibble for weight loss or sterilised/ neutered dogs
Grain-free kibble is a great option for dogs that have problems maintaining a healthy weight, as long as the grains are replaced by protein-rich ingredients instead of starchy fillers.
Sterilised and neutered dogs may also benefit from a grain-free diet. After the procedure, your dog is likely to need 30% less calories, while their appetite may well increase. That combined effect may be tricky to overcome, but grain-free meals like our CONTOUR address the issue by avoiding starchy grains, and instead using low-calorie ingredients like chicken.
Let customers speak for us
my dog is extremely picky.
Im impressed he is eating this daily with no complaints, he also has bad itchy skin which i think has improved on this diet. he’s also no longer smelly. likely cos the skin has improved
My cat is a picky eater and refused to eat her meat until we found The Jaguar! She loves it so much she slurps up the sauce and licks her bowl clean! We love that it keeps her hydrated while fulfilling her dietary requirements.
My fussy cats like to food, I will continue to order as long as my cats are liking the food.
Cats loved it immediately. No adaptation period needed
My cat absolutely loves this food! He knows exactly when mealtime is and will start meowing right on schedule to remind me it’s time to serve it. The moment he hears the packet open, he comes running and finishes every bite. It’s become one of his favourite meals, and I’m happy to see him so excited and satisfied every day.
My dog is such a picky eater and he often would walk away when the food wasn’t up to his standard. But since starting him on essential food, he has consistently made improvements in finishing up his food. That’s a big win for me considering his bad eating ways.
Great feed for my Samoyed, she always look forward to her nextfeeding.
My cats love it!
They are fussy eaters and they've finished it very quickly
My poodle being picky eater loves it.
Dogs love it, no tummy issues so far. Need to get a bigger pack to fully transition over from previous diet.
Really happy with ESSENTIAL NAUTICAL LIVING dog food! My dog enjoys it so much and gets excited every mealtime. I noticed the ingredients are good quality and my dog’s coat looks healthier and shinier after switching to this brand. Digestion has been good too, with no tummy issues. Great product and definitely worth trying for pet owners who want quality food for their fur babies!
