Starter

Kennels` Favourite STARTER super premium dry feed for puppies of all breeds from 2 till 8 weeks old* 
STARTER has been developed by veterinary nutritionists. STARTER supports by its excellent quality protein, combined with a relatively high density of nutrients, an optimal development of growing up puppies. 
The large number of vitamins and trace elements strengthens the immune system and promotes vitality of growing up puppies. Puppy will have completed muscle growth and bone strengthening by the age of 10 months. During this time, its energy requirements per kg body weight are 1.6 times higher than those of adult dogs. However, calorie supply by STARTER is adjusted to avoid the risk of too rapid weight gain. For pregnant bitches STARTER is an ideal food because their need for nutrients, especially during the last 3-4 weeks of pregnancy, is clearly increased. Your bitch can record this way sufficient body reserves which are necessary for the later milk production. The highest demands on the food concentration and balance are made by nursing bitches. This is the condition for a rapid and balanced development of puppies. Due to the extremely high concentration of energy in STARTER are in comparison relatively small portions of the power supply needed. STARTER is by nursing bitches well taken and creates so the ideal base for a high milk production, even at large nests.

EPA+DHA (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids): Provide the immune function and skin maintenance. Reduce inflammatory reactions that may occur during the development of atopic diseases and osteoarthritis. Omega-6 and -3 fatty acids are present in the ideal 5:1 ratio.
Chondro-Protective Agents (salmon oil, chondroitin sulphate and green-lipped mussel): Have a positive effect on the joints and promote cartilage repair. Increase the supply of water to the cartilage, thus strengthening the lubricating properties of joints. Participate in anti-inflammatory processes and thus reduce joint pain. Lend the cartilage flexibility, elasticity and resilience. Block cartilage decay and destruction. They have a positive effect in the event of skin inflammation.
Cardio Protective Effect: This is achieved thanks to the high taurine content. Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is an organic acid which is formed from methionine and cysteine, and is essential in order for the heart to function properly. Taurine plays a major role in the workings of the heart muscle. Its addition to the feed helps to protect the animal from heart disease.
Formula Sensitive: During the first few months of life puppies have very sensitive digestive systems. Regardless of age, a feature of small breeds is that they are highly sensitive and genetically pre-disposed towards allergies to food components. A result of this is skin dermatitis (irritable skin) – an allergic disease from which small animals suffer. In order to protect your pet from the earliest age, STARTER is based on fish protein (herring), which is biologically valuable assimilates better than animal proteins. The advantage of fish protein is that it contains little connective tissue, mainly collagen which easily transforms into dissolved form, i.e. gelatine (gluten). Thanks to this fish protein breaks down easily, ensuring a fuller assimilation of nutrients. The combination of fish protein with plant proteins (rice, maize, barley and beet pulp) and salmon oil prevents undesirable reactions to foods. 
Dental Protection: The extract of green tea contains the polyphenolic components consisting from epigallocatechine-3-gallate (EGCg). These polyphenols provide anti-bacteriological, anti-inflammatory effects and considerably reduce symptoms caused by a dental stone.
Enriched with prebiotic Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS+FOS): Supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. Encourages peristaltic motion, exerting a positive influence on bowel activity and evacuation. Protects the intestine against pathogenic bacteria.
H.D.P. / Highly Digestible Proteins: Ensures optimal digestion and efficient nutrient conversion, prevent of adverse reactions to food.
Natural Anti-oxidant Mixture: Reduces the formation of free radicals, which play a role in the development and progression of cancer and kidney failure. Reverses the age-related decline of tissue structures.
Odour Control: Yucca schidigera extract, which contains so-called natural saponins, reduces salt peter formation (ammonia, urea, nitrites and nitrates), and decreases the extraction of harmful gases and unpleasant odour of feces and urine. Furthermore, improves due to Yucca schidigera extract the nutritient intake by which the intestinal flora is positively influenced. An effective combination of special vitamins supports the visual faculty and helps to prevent reducement of visual faculty by aging.
Moisture Level 8%: Prevents the growth of malignant bacteria and thus protects the feed from rotting, guaranteeing the ingredients have maximum resistance to decomposition.

STARTER is characterized by good its digestibility. This creates an optimal opportunity to intake the nutrition. Your puppy and bitch need therefore only small amounts of food, what also reduces the amount of feces. The structure of the feed ensures that teeth and gums are stronger and cleaner. The large quantity of vitamins and micro-elements strengthens the immune system and increases a growing puppy’s resilience. All the vitamins and minerals are guaranteed to give your puppy strength and ensure its full development!!
