BLACKWOOD PET FOOD

One of the most important, but often overlooked aspects, is the cooking process of the carbohydrates. We are fortunate to have located machinery that enables us to produce a "one of a kind" low temperature, slow, crock pot style of cooking. Our process improves the nutrient availability of the protiens and carbohydrates and eliminates heat damage to the vitamins and minerals. By having a higher cook rate of the carbohydrates (95%+, versus the industry standard of 83-86%), we increase digestibility and lessen the workload on the digestive system, thus lowering the stool volume. This equates to less clean up and reduces the cost of feeding your pets.

Details such as using sea salt for the added trace minerals,and distinctive Proteinate Minerals which are absorbed directly into the bloodstream by almost 100%. Selected proteinates at specific levels have been shown to increase the reproductive potential of dogs and possibly the number of pups born in the litter. Probiotics, or "friendly bacteria", were added to increase digestibility, enhance the immune system, and to help eliminate digestive stress such as vomiting, diarrhea, and digestive flatulence.

We also include elevated levels of Omega 3 & Omega 6 fatty acids, which keep the skin and coat in super condition, as well as help with summer hot spots and other skin problems. Garlic and Brewers Yeast were also included for additional skin and coat conditioning. It is belive by many that garlic is excellent for the cardiovascular system and contains the properties of a minor flea repellent. We added Yucca Schidigera Extract which helps to lower urine and stool odor, along with freshening the breath.

Things we DO NOT consider in any of our diets are: soy products, wheat products, chemical preservatives, artificial colours, flavours, fillers, or by-product meals (which can contain feathers, beaks and feet). To ensure the incomparable quality and performance of a diet, we first built a solid foundation by incorporating A-1 choice quality sources of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals; plus the perfect balancing of overall diet.
