The Essence of everyday nutrition is to meet the nutritional requirements of dogs across all breeds and throughout all life-stages, but also through nutrition to help maintain essential statuses such as antioxidant, immune, metabolic status as well as cellular Integrity.

Nutritional Balance

Our EVERYDAY diets both adhere to the nutritional standards set forth by pet food regulatory bodies such as FEEDIAF, AAFCO and NRC2006. This ensures that by feeding SWANICS Everyday range we are sure that we supply a complete and balanced diet that is up to the latest standards.

We meet all the macro-nutrient requirements for protein, fat and carbohydrates. Protein is essential for the maintenance of muscle tissue, fat as our primary energy source, and carbohydrates as a readily digestible energy and matrix to bind and hold nutrients.

Our diets are formulated to have balanced amino-acids ensuring that a deficiency of an essential amino-acid does not arise, which may lead to the disruption of protein synthesis, essential for almost all bodily functions. Our diets supplies essential fatty acids, which are important in the formation of cellular membranes, synthesis of hormones and many other functions.

Maintaining Health Statuses

The addition of a vitamin and mineral supplement fortifies our Everyday diet with all the vitamins and trace elements essential for maintaining immune status, to combat disease and other stress factors.

Phytogenic plant extracts and calcium butyrate help to maintain cellular integrity by increasing the antioxidant potential of our dogs and stabilizing tight junctions in the gut. This barrier integrity is essential to keep dogs healthy over the long run.

Our diets aims to maintain a steady metabolic status in your dog, which means ensuring the efficient utilization of nutrients to achieve a biochemical balance in cells. Our highly digestible food ensures a steady supply of blood glucose to help maintain the metabolic status in cells.

The combination of a complete and balanced diet with its functional aspect in maintaining your dog's overall wellbeing makes our range ideal for everyday feeding.

FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION:

Over-and-above providing complete and balanced nutrition or nutrient fortification, the approach to functional nutrition is based on a philosophy of embracing the additional benefits of selected natural and functional food ingredients called nutraceuticals. We have included functional ingredients in all our diets which contains pet nutraceuticals that provide additional benefits throughout the entire life cycle from puppy to adult.

 

· Gut-active botanicals, found in our phytogenic compounds, contain essential oils which have antimicrobial and gut health promoting properties. The inclusion of unique plant active ingredients or phytonutrients in our range offers natural protective benefits. The phytonutrient blend is formulated with extracts of sweet chestnut, capsicum, cinnamon, and oregano – scientifically combined to utilize its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, properties to synergistically support the health and well-being of your dog's digestive system.

· Calcium Butyrate, a short chain fatty acid provides an energy source for the growth of gut epithelial cell, which in turn helps to stabilize tight junctions for a healthy gut lining and absorption capacity.

 

· Functional fatty acids such as lauric acid and butyric acid help decrease the amount of pathogenic gut bacteria and act as an excellent source for energy for gut cell growth and nutrient absorption.

· Natural antioxidants protect the cells against free radicals which are formed during oxidation, reducing oxidative stress and promoting health – especially during rapid environmental changes.

· Natural Clay Minerals are polar minerals included in the diet to help bind harmful mycotoxins and nitrogen produced by the fermentation of proteins which contribute to the odour of stool.
