Buffalo meat is known for its creamy, fresh taste and rich color, and is packed with vitamins and minerals.

Vegetables are not only nutritious, but they also have other healthy properties.

The use of herbs, roots, flowers, plants and seaweeds, among other things, dates back thousands of years. These ingredients support the natural processes in a dog's body, such as digestion. Every ingredient we add to our dog food is carefully selected for its positive properties. Depending on the size of the dog, its breed or breed group, ingredients are given extra attention. Breed-specific complaints can be reduced by using herbs, roots, flowers and plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShikoku specific vegetables, herbs and fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe have carefully researched the breed characteristics of the Shikoku. We have also researched the characteristics of the FCI breed section and the FCI breed group to which the Shikoku belongs. From these studies, in consultation with leading Dutch nutritionists, ingredients have been selected that optimally benefit the health and well-being of the Shikoku.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNettle\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNettle is a genus of plants, of which the common nettle and the small nettle occur in the Netherlands and Belgium. Nettle is known for its cleansing and blood-purifying effects. According to various sources, nettle is antibacterial and therefore very suitable for infectious diseases. The leaves are also suitable for diarrhea or other digestive disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNettle supports the function of the liver and kidneys by stimulating the breakdown of waste products. In addition, it supports the bladder and hair growth of the dog.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNettle also contains silicic acid, or silicon. This is a building block that is part of connective tissue in bones, tendons, ligaments, skin, hair, and nails, among other things. Silicon supports the natural production of skin (cells) and ensures the maintenance of healthy skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Yourdog, we add nettle to our dog food because it can make a positive contribution to preventing breed-specific complaints related to the dog's coat, skin, and bones, as well as preventing digestive and\/or urination problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChondroitin\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChondroitin occurs naturally in the dog's body and is one of the main components of cartilage tissue. In dogs, chondroitin is able to attract and retain fluid, which should provide a spongy cushioning in the cartilage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChondroitin improves the flexibility of cartilage and also has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, it stimulates the production of the building blocks that serve for healthy cartilage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf chondroitin is given in combination with glucosamine, it supports and enhances the action of glucosamine. It is therefore often given as a dietary supplement for people and animals suffering from osteoarthritis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpirulina\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpirulina is a dietary supplement with exceptionally high nutritional value, made from blue-green algae found in tropical and subtropical regions. It belongs to the microalgae family. Did you know that spirulina can be grown in space and consists of 60 to 70% protein?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is rich in vitamins, including B12, minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and potassium, and all essential amino acids. Spirulina can generally contribute to the health and well-being of dogs. In addition, it can help support the immune system and promote healthy skin and a shiny coat. The algae also have a detoxifying effect and promote digestion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePuppy, adult or senior?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo help you make the right choice between our Shikoku dog food variants, you can use the following guidelines.

For the first step, feed 25% Yourdog and 75% of the old dog food. The dog can get used to this for two days. Then, feed 50% Yourdog and 50% of the old dog food. It is important that you let the dog get used to this for another two or three days. After that, mix 75% Yourdog and 25% of the old dog food. The dog is now almost completely transitioned to Yourdog. Do this for 2 days. After your own discretion, you can then start feeding 100% Yourdog Shikoku dog food.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Advice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter opening the Yourdog packaging, the food is exposed to oxygen, moisture, and light, which can affect its shelf life and taste. Therefore, it is important to store the food properly after opening the bag, preferably in an airtight storage container or bin in a dry, cool, and dark place. It is best not to put the food loosely in the bin, but to place the entire bag, which you re-seal as tightly as possible, into the bin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaize, dried chicken (23%), barley, peas, dried buffalo (3.5%), poultry fat, choline chloride, glucosamine, chondroitin, vegetable mix (including tomato), fruit mix (including cranberry), herb mix (including nettle, spirulina) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalytical constituents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCrude protein 24%, crude fat 8%, crude fibre 3.9%, crude ash 6%, Calcium 1.4%, Phosphorus 1.1%\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutritional values\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVitamin A 20,000 IU (E672), vitamin D3 1,400 IU (E671), vitamin E as all rac-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (3a700) 500 mg, E1 Fe as iron(II) sulphate, monohydrate: 50 mg, E2 I as calcium iodate, anhydrous: 1.5 mg, E4 Cu as copper(II) sulphate, pentahydrate: 5.0 mg, E5 Mn as manganese(II) oxide: 35 mg, E6 Zn as zinc oxide: 65 mg, E8 Se as sodium selenite: 0.2 mg.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YOURDOG","offers":[{"title":"3 KG (401532)","offer_id":53523287900497,"sku":"15229.401532","price":35.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 KG (401531)","offer_id":53523287933265,"sku":"15229.401531","price":94.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1036\/4849\/3905\/files\/401531.jpg?v=1776157523","url":"https:\/\/snorhaarshop.nl\/en\/products\/yourdog-shikoku-senior","provider":"Snorhaarshop.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
