Alleva Natural food composition

Let’s consider the composition of Alleva Natural on the example of Fish & Pumpkin | Adultmmini (Fish and pumpkin, for adult small breed dogs):

Alleva Natural dog food - composition — Photo of the composition indicated on the food packaging.

The first two ingredients – dehydrated ocean fish (32%), fresh ocean fish (20%) – are good sources of protein. There are no other very protein-rich ingredients further in composition, which means that the bulk of the 27% protein indicated in the guaranteed analysis is of animal origin.

Recall that animal proteins are richer in amino acid composition and better absorbed than vegetable proteins. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention not only to the total percentage of proteins in the feed, but also to what ingredients are the sources of these proteins.

In third place is brown rice, which is a source of carbohydrates. Fish oil is a source of fats and fatty acids. Pea fibers, dried pumpkin (5%), dry beet pulp are sources of fiber (positively affects digestion).

Chicory root is rich in the prebiotic inulin, which improves digestion. The same function is performed by MOS, the source of which is inactivated dry brewer’s yeast (they are also rich in B-group vitamins).

Dicalcium phosphate is a source of calcium. Potassium carbonate – food additive E501 (considered safe), is an acidity regulator. Glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate – good for joints. Yucca Juice – Reduces the smell of excrement.

Pros and cons

The advantages of this feed include:

the main sources of protein are meat and fish;
wheat, corn, vegetable protein are not used;
good vitamin and mineral supplement;
natural antioxidants are used (rosemary extract, green tea extract, tocopherol extract).

The disadvantages can be considered:

quite high price.

Good day. Now we took Natural Alleva with fish and pumpkin. We try only on fish, dogs turn red on meat. I attach a photo. While the flight is normal, we took the bag for a test, we add it to Equilibrium, they eat even more willingly!

Anastasia writes:

They fed Farmina for 4 years. Now the feed has deteriorated, possibly due to the fact that supplies are currently coming from Serbia and not from Italy. We decided to switch to Alleva. Bought Medium Maxi with lamb and pumpkin. The food is good in composition, but the dog refuses to eat, I fill it in half with Farina, chews with great reluctance. According to the results of the weekly feeding: no allergies, eyes do not flow, but problems with stool (constipation) have begun. Unfortunately, the food did not suit us (((

Julia writes:

I ordered Alleva Natural food with lamb for a sample, the beagle ate with pleasure. Eyes are not flowing, ears are normal, stool is normal. Samples with fish from this series were presented at the exhibition, I will order a larger bag. Good food for your money.
