Just verifying that the ingredients in your Pet’s food are safe doesn’t necessarily mean that they are optimal or even healthy; our Pets need the best possible balance and combination of protein, fat, moisture, fibre and nutrients to ensure they lead long happy and healthy lives. Your Pet’s life stage should also be factored into his or her diet as Puppies and older Pets both have specific dietary needs.
