Low purine dog food
is written on the vet’s prescription and initially leaves you at a loss. But it is quite simple. Whether it’s your Dalmatian or your dog suffering from leishmaniasis – you simply apply the rules of healthy feeding. Here you can find out how to lead a happy life with your dog without too much effort!
Why conventional dog food is not really suitable?
You should be sure that no offal, skin, tendons etc. are included. For low-purine dog food, not only the uric acid value but also the biological value is important.
The purine content of conventional dog food is not listed. (If it is unknown, urine tests for crystal formation should be carried out). A high proportion of fillers is usually used and everything is first rendered worthless at 160 °C and then refilled with synthetic materials. However, fillers put a strain on the gastrointestinal tract and synthetic additives are allergenic and cannot be utilized by the body.
What ingredients do you need for the “best recipe for low purine dog food“?
Ingredients:
60 % high-quality protein – 1/2 muscle meat, ¼ quark or cottage cheese, ¼ boiled whole egg,
30 % healthy carbohydrates – potatoes, rice, oatmeal
10 % healthy fats – such as rapeseed oil, linseed oil, salmon oil,
+ 100 grams of fresh vegetables
As you can see, it is the recipe for healthy food. The uric acid value of the daily ration is less than 300 mg.
Its calculation: purine value of the food (table) x 2.4 = uric acid value in mg.
Why is it “the best recipe for low purine dog food”?
The biological value is also very high. Here, the foods are combined in such a way that the amino acids complement each other and can thus be better converted into body substance. Quark or cottage cheese and the egg play a decisive role here because they are one of the few foods that contain all the amino acids. Healthy carbohydrates and unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids are of course also important. So the body has everything it needs to be healthy. Only one small thing is still missing – dental health.
How did brushing your dog’s teeth become healthy and species-appropriate?
Science has found an ingenious solution here. It has been proven that cottage cheese neutralizes bacteria. So you take the ingredients for the healthy feeding recipe and bring it to a consistency in the low temperature range that the dog has to chew. And the result is cheese bones – only with ingredients from the healthy recipe:
Cottage cheese, rice, rapeseed oil, coconut oil and vegetable glycerine for the chewing gum effect
Free from: gluten, lactose, sugar, salt, additives
And even gulpers have to chew. One treat in the evening is enough to neutralize the mouth flora. Bad breath, plaque and gingivitis are stopped and the tartar dissolves after 2 weeks.
By the way: QCHEFS cheese bones are available in 10 varieties. The varieties with rice (due to the low purine content) are recommended as a supplement to low-purine dog food
