Terra Canis is the fine home-style meal for dogs made of natural and premium-quality ingredients. The nutritional concept behind Terra Canis is to reflect the natural, nutritional needs of your dog with its varied recipes. The deliberate and gentle preparation of the food with fresh ingredients makes it possible to provide an optimal diet with the necessary nutrients. Terra Canis for dogs is produced in a Bavarian butcher’s shop. This family business is now in its third generation and has received many prizes and awards for its products. It counts itself among the best butchers in Munich and stands out particularly for its quality consciousness. As an EU registered food production company, it is subject to strict veterinary controls, it can only store, process, and sell produce of verifiable human consumption quality. This guarantees that Terra Canis dog food is made using the best premium ingredients. A brief overview of the benefits of Terra Canis Dog Food: Meat, fish fillets and all other ingredients are processed fresh, are of proven human grade quality and sourced in Germany. Terra Canis guarantees exclusive use of ingredients listed in the composition. A careful cooking process (slow cooked canned when cool) ensures maximum preservation of beneficial natural vitamins, secondary plant substances, minerals, trace elements and proteins. Carefully measured amounts of organic eggshell and mineral soil products naturally create the optimal calcium-phosphorus-ratio of 1.3:1.0. Terra Canis consistently avoids the use of bone and animal meal, low quality by-products, fillers, butchers waste, artificial colours, preservatives and flavourings, artificial anti-oxidants and any kind of artificial additives and sugar. The result is an appetising and tasty wet dog food, that tastes home made. Ingredients of Terra Canis Dog Food: Muscle meat: provides your dog’s organism with high quality proteins and omega-6 fatty acids. This includes heart and chicken, turkey and rabbit stomach (stomach and heart are pure muscle and thus do not count as offals). The proportion of muscle meat in a portion of meat should always be higher than that of any other ingredient and it forms the main part of Terra Canis dog food. Liver: The liver is a detoxifying organ and thus should only rarely, and only in small portions, be given to your dog. However, it does contain plenty of vitamins and trace elements and should not be entirely excluded from your dog’s diet. Terra Canis therefore only uses liver in small quantities in a few of its recipes. Organic eggshell: Terra Canis substitutes organic eggshell for essential calcium from prey. Every food contains the important calcium-phosphorus-ratio of 1.3:1.0, naturally achieved through the addition of eggshell and confirmed by the use of before/after analyses. Dietary fibre from vegetables, fruit and herbs: Dietary fibre is important for your dog’s digestion; it stimulates and cleans the intestines. Different kinds of fruit and vegetables contain different kinds of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and secondary plant metabolites, so you should give your dog a bit of variety. Terra Canis recipes contain more than 20 different kinds of vegetables, fruit and herbs. Spirulina algae: Spirulina algae provides your dog with all important minerals and trace elements (such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, selenium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, iodine etc), all essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and many important vitamins. Mineral soil: Mineral soil contains plenty of all important minerals and trace elements (for example, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, selenium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc) and also provides all essential amino acids. Rapeseed oil: Rapeseed oil consists of optimally balanced linoleic acid and is thus ideal for a balanced, healthy diet. It supplies your dog with natural vitamin A and important omega-3 fatty acids. Andes salt: Salt is an important part of your dog’s diet since it provides him or her with a variety of minerals – amongst others, chloride, which is important for the managements of electrolytes. In the wild, salt is taken in through the saline blood of the prey. Terra Canis uses natural and untreated Andes salt, the “white gold” of the Incas. Rose hip powder: Rose hip powder supplies vitamin C in addition to the dog’s natural synthesis to support the whole organism. Terra Canis dog food is monitored by an independent, recognised laboratory which tests foods for product safety. All recipes are analysed regularly in order to ensure maintenance of the high quality standard. You will find a certifying mark on all Terra Canis labels.
