COMPLETE FRESH MEAT (KVV) FOR WOLFDOGS

Why fresh meat food for wolfdogs?

Fresh meat food benefits the following bodily functions:

• The production of new body cells.
• The basis for the production of enzymes.
• The basis for the growth of intestinal bacteria.
• The functioning of chemical and biochemical processes.
• Preventing the development of a number of hereditary abnormalities.
• The development of antibodies.
• The optimal growth of the puppy.
• The high energy content in the dry matter (approx. 7650 Kcal = 28255Kj.)
• The very high digestibility (more than 80%)
• It is the natural food for the dog.

The production of new body cells.
The development of life begins immediately after the fusion of the female egg with the male's sperm cell. Both the sperm and the bitch's egg each contain 50% of the hereditary information. After division, which starts immediately after assembly, each cell contains 100% of the hereditary information. It is therefore obvious that the development of the healthy cell depends on the nutrition of the bitch during pregnancy and the health of the male. Healthy cells make up a healthy body. What the bitch herself does not have or lacks, she cannot contribute to the development of the cells. The development of the cells always goes for the health of the bitch.

The basis for the production of enzymes.
With a puppy in development, part of the digestion and biochemical processes already start via the bloodstream of the bitch. The developed puppy in the mother's body uses the enzymes of the bitch in the bloodstream from which the puppy absorbs the necessary substances for growth. Later after birth, the puppy must produce the necessary enzymes itself. Enzymes are protein substances. Ergo, the amino acid composition of the food protein should match that of the puppy as much as possible. This is only possible if fresh meat is provided.

The basis for the growth of intestinal bacteria.
After the puppy's birth, intestinal bacteria develop, which are necessary for the final digestion, the production of a number of vitamins, the extraction of moisture from the chyme and a number of other necessary functions. Which vitamins are produced or composed?

Vitamin H (biotin)
Biotin is necessary for the composition of vitamin C, essential for the metabolism of fats and proteins, working together with the vitamins B-2, B-6 niacin and vitamin A. It relieves eczema and dermatitis. It is necessary for a healthy skin and coat.

Vitamin C
Dogs can make enough vitamin C. It mainly serves to prevent oxidation and for the formation of collagen (an intermediate and strengthening substance for the bones).

Vitamin B-5 (pantothenic acid)
Is necessary for cell formation, growth, nervous system development, etc.

Vitamin K
This vitamin is necessary for blood clotting. This natural vitamin K (K-1 and K-2) is different from the vitamin K-3, which is added extra in the feeds.

The functioning of chemical and biochemical processes.
The production and development of enzymes partly depends on the nutrients that the dog has received as a puppy in the first 12 weeks. An enzyme is necessary for every biochemical conversion in the metabolism. It is not known how many enzymes are needed. The lack of certain enzymes leads to metabolic disturbances, which can lead to many abnormalities.

Preventing the development of a number of hereditary abnormalities.
One of the questions in the “health theory:” exam is: “How can one prevent hereditary diseases?”
The answer must then be: “by constitution and environment”.
Constitution: constitution, properties, organs, tissue, etc. In short, the health of the dog.
Environment: the environment.
Optimal nutrition here means in fact, preventing the development of a hereditary predisposition. Of course, this does not mean that all hereditary defects belong to the past. With an optimal diet everything is done to prevent the development of decent abnormalities as much as possible.

The development of antibodies.
In fact, the build-up and formation of antibodies already occurs during lactation. The quality and quantity of breast milk is therefore of the utmost importance. Of course, the health of the male also plays a major role. Therefore the advice: if you are going to breed, make sure that both the male and the bitch are in optimal condition. Natural food (fresh meat) plays an important role in this. The latter has been scientifically proven by Dr. A. Thomee, who demonstrated this irrefutably in her 1978 dissertation.

The optimal growth of the puppy.
Optimal growth depends on optimal nutrition. One of the many benefits of a complete fresh meat diet is that no antioxidants such as BHT and/or ethoxyquin, or preservatives need to be added. Frozen stays fresh! The disadvantages of these chemical antioxidants are countless.
BHT (butylhydroxytoluene) can cause allergic skin problems, can form enzymes in the liver that break down the important vitamin D. Leave food in which such substances and chemical dyes have been processed, save your pet and contribute to a clean environment.

The high energy content in the dry matter (approx. 7650 Kcal = 28255Kj.)
Moisture is not a nutrient, but it is very important for the dog. Ordinary drinking water hardly or not at all reaches the food cells. The nutritional value is always calculated on the dry matter.
With fresh meat feed this energy value is significantly higher than with dry or other feeds.

The very high digestibility (more than 80%)
Scientific research shows that due to the high digestibility, the faeces are more than 50% less than with dry foods. The digestibility of fresh meat food is very high compared to other feeds. Scientific research shows that the stool is more than 50% less than with dry foods.

It is the natural food for the Wolfdog.
Complete fresh meat food is composed in such a way that the amino acid composition strongly corresponds to that of a prey animal.
