Wild dogs are principally carnivores. They originally hunted in the wild and devoured their prey whole - including the stomach and intestinal contents. This provided them with all the essential nutrients, especially the body meat with herb and plant components from the prey's digestive system which helped to keep them healthy active and in peak condition.

The domesticated dog, meanwhile, has come to rely on the content of over processed commercial dog food with artificial antioxidants and preservatives with few if any natural herbs or plant extracts. Despite "complete nutrition" diets, dogs commonly encounter health issues such as dry and itchy skin and pain in their lower limbs, because critical nutrients are often lost or destroyed during the manufacturing of even the best traditional foods. Applaws dry is a unique pet food which contains a blend of natural herb and plant ingredients normally only found in a natural wild diet.

High protein levels are often associated with various problems such as itching, scratching, ear and nose discharges and flakey skin. These problems occur, however, where the main source of protein is the cereals used by most manufacturers to bulk out their product - these are used to make it appear that you get more for your money. 
Cereal / vegetable proteins are an incomplete source of essential amino acids required by the dog whereas the high protein in Applaws is provided by the meat content and is therefore a source of the complete range of essential amino acids - this protein can therefore go towards the body's normal requirements rather than having to be processed as waste matter.

If you have any erroneous doubts about the feeding of a high meat-based protein diet to your healthy pet please read the white paper from Champion Pet Foods - the makers of another good food (too expensive for us to stock in Portugal but also unnecessary because we have Applaws) Orijen - click here to read the PDF.

The Small & Medium breed product is designed for puppies who's adult weight is likely to be below 25Kg
The latest advice from Applaws is that this may be given to larger breed puppies but must be "diluted" with a little lean meat to reduce the calcium level. Do not use "commercial" minced meats because these also contain crushed bone. See the "Large Breed" puppy entry for more information.
