What is BOF?
A significant part of the idea behind the ESSENTIALS meals, is to keep your dog's blood sugar stable. In the same way that it applies to people, it applies to dogs (even more so) that when the blood sugar is running low or high, significant fluctuations both mentally and physically takes place. All of our meals are composed in order to avoid these fluctuations; creating a new standard of foods -for your dog. The principle we have developed is BOF (Behavioural Optimizing Foods) and has been extremely well received.
BOF, a sensation within pet foods
Behavioral Optimizing Foods (BOF) is the principle honoring the many advantages, of keeping the blood sugar levels stable throughout the day.
