Why Grain-Free?

A grain-free diet helps sensitive digestion

Although most dogs can digest grains without any problems, there are still some that struggle and are prone to digestive problems such as constipation. All our products are of highest quality and specially formulated using the right balance of key nutrients – just without the grains.


We say no to grain allergies

Pets can suffer from food allergies. Although it’s relatively rare for dogs to become intolerant or allergic to grains, when this does happen it can be a difficult time for both pets and owners – that’s why we eliminate the chances all together.

Behavioral Optimizing Foods (BOF)

What is Behavioral Optimizing Foods (BOF)?

A significant part of the idea behind the ESSENTIALS meals, is to keep your dog's blood sugar stable. In the same way that it applies to people, it applies to dogs (even more so) that when the blood sugar is running low or high, significant fluctuations both mentally and physically takes place.

All of our meals are composed in order to avoid these fluctuations; creating a new standard of foods -for your dog. The principle we have developed is BOF (Behavioural Optimizing Foods) and has been extremely well received.


BOF – A sensation within pet foods 

Behavioral Optimizing Foods (BOF) is the principle honoring the many advantages, of keeping the blood sugar levels stable throughout the day.  At ESSENTIAL FOODS we have achieved just that with our life-changing and award winning foods. BOF ensures the stability of your dog’s sugar levels.

Our high fresh meat content and the low preparation temperature means your dog gets exceptional nutritional values vs. mass-branded pet foods. The results with BOF are breathtaking.  Serving ESSENTIALS positively will affect the mental balance of your dog. Some report seeing a dramatic transformation in the behavior, others note a smaller change, however improvement is always recorded.

Behavioral Optimizing Food (BOF) is the principle of restoring the dog's natural diet. I practice keeps the dog's blood sugar stable, the high content of fresh meat stimulates the instincts, the low boiling temperature preserves nutritional value, berries, seeds and herbs recall the contents of the prey's stomach and the size of the pieces ensures that the meal is always chewed and not swallowed whole.

First Bag of ESSENTIALS?
We at ESSENTIAL FOODS welcome you. With the first bag, a lifestyle change begins regarding diet. You can start for a period of 4-7 days, or directly from the first day. The first week you can expect that the dog has a little extra air in the intestines. This is because dogs, like humans, react to dietary changes. Defecation is in the same amounts, but may be a bit softer. After that you will enjoy all the benefits of choosing ESSENTIAL FOODS in both the short and long term. You are always welcome to contact us for advice and guidance.

    You may have noticed that the result is 15% less than indicated by the feeding chart on the bag. That’s because the chart is based on the industry’s standard recommendations, but as our meals are exceptionally rich in fresh ingredients, we’ve found that a 15% smaller serving provides the same nutritional value.
