Their nutritional specialists have developed exclusive pet foods which are based on the natural diet of your pet. Their most recent innovation is Acticell Fruit Power to promote healthy cells. This unique, natural combination of a variety of fruits rich in secondary phyto-chemicals has an antioxidant effect which traps free radicals and counteracts ageing at a cellular level. Acticell supports the digestion, optimises nutrient absorption and strengthens the immune system. Experts have used ten different kinds of fruit including pineapple, apple, mango and blueberries, to develop a unique and exclusively natural combination of vital nutrients. The resulting fruit mix is a healthy boost for the cells and provides your dog with all the natural vitamins and secondary phytochemicals it needs for an optimal nutrition: Acerola cherries are full of vitamin C which strengthens the immune system. Apples are known for their high pectin content, an important fibre needed to maintain digestive health. Bananas are great all-rounders with a high potassium content and important vitamins, carbohydrates and fibre which help to produce enzymes and energy as well as helping to keep nerves and muscles healthy. Pears also support a healthy digestion and are known for their high mineral content. Raspberries contain important biotin, indispensable for healthy skin, coat and claws. Blueberries are packed full of phenolic acids, flavonoids and other secondary phytochemicals which are especially important for healthy blood vessels and eye sight. Carob pods are rich in flavonoids, gallic acid and glycosides which contain important antioxidant properties and have a beneficial effect on the digestive system. Mangos contain secondary phytochemicals which support the body’s defence mechanisms and have a positive effect on coat pigmentation. Papayas are tropical nutrient powerhouses full of important enzymes, especially papain, which aids the digestion of protein. Papayas help to keep the digestive system healthy. Dogs have developed over thousands of years and in the wild dogs would feed on a variety of prey, eating every part of the animal, including the bones as well as feeding on berries, herbs, fish and insects. Their natural diet provided them with all the nutrients they needed to stay healthy and thrive. We tend to forget this all too often. The best diet for dogs is in fact still small animals of prey – but that’s not all that easy to arrange nowadays. Markus Mühle NaturNah is a unique, complete dog food which is based on the ideas of a well-known vet, dog breeders and the director of a dog kennel. They wanted a dog food which is in keeping with a dog’s natural diet in the wild. The result is Markus Mühle NaturNah Dog Food. The nutritional studies show that Markus Mühle NaturNah is rich in minerals and that it provides a balanced proportion of amino acids which is vital for dogs and the ideal basis of a healthy diet. Markus-Mühle NaturNah Dog Food is made by a family-run business near the River Rhine in Germany. It uses a careful cold water pressing process and the chunky kibble also aids dental care while satisfying your dog’s natural chewing instincts.
