Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior

Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior super premium (wheat gluten free) dry feed for senior small breed dogs.
Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior has been specially developed for ageing mini-dogs with assistence of internationally recognised Dutch experts of veterinary nutrition. In the case of mini-dogs the ageing process may begin very late. Dogs of min-breeds are well known for their longevity; they have been known to live for as long as 16 years. Ageing mini-dogs are particularly prone to put on excess weight quickly, which can reduce their life expectancy due to the high risk of developing cancer, sugar diabetes and heart failure. Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior has a low content of high-energy substances and has been specially developed in order to control the body weight of older mini-dogs. The Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior formula has also been developed bearing in mind the fact that ageing mini-dogs often develop osteoarthritis and heart failure. Due to the size of their jaw mini-dogs have densely set teeth and for that reason are more prone to the formation of dental calculus. All these characteristic features make Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior absolutely essential for ageing mini-dogs.
Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior meets all the nutritional needs of a mature mini-dog.   The easy-to-use, small chunk size has been specially developed for the mini-dog’s jaw.
 

• Formula «Sensitive», formulated Wheat Gluten-Free: Wheat gluten is a vegetable protein (gluten), it is poorly digested by dogs and also promotes growth of harmful bacteria in the intestines under which influence toxins are formed. Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior is wheat gluten free and protects against allergic reactions on food.
• Weight Control: Older mini-dogs are prone to put on excess weight extraordinarily quickly. L-carnitine is required for mitochondrial energy metabolism and the breakdown of fats in the body. Biotine plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism, interacting with the pancreatic hormone, insulin. It stabilises the sugar content in the blood and is involved in breaking down fatty acids and in burning fat. Ideal body weight extends the life of an older miniature dog and lowers the risk of developing serious illness. The Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior formula has been developed with a view to facilitating weight loss and not allowing a dog to regain lost excess weight.
  
• Formula «Sensitive» (Duck Meat + Borage Seed Oil + Salmon Oil): Regardless of age small breeds are characteristically highly sensitive and genetically predisposed towards allergies to food components. A result of this is skin dermatitis (irritable skin) – an allergic disease experienced by small animals. Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior is based on duck meat protein – of all animal proteins one of the most useful and balanced in terms of nutritional value and micro element and vitamin content. Duck meat protein contains potassium, sodium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, copper and other elements essential to an animal’s body. Duck meat protein is one of the most valuable sources of group B, B1, B3, B6, B12 vitamins, riboflavin and folic acid. Borage seed oil significantly reduces the degree of skin itching (nickel itch), erythema and self-inflicted wounds. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and thus controls the condition of the skin in the event of atopic dermatitis. The active ingredient in borage seed oil is omega-6 fatty acid, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). The combination of duck meat protein and borage seed oil facilitates a reduction in inflammatory reactions in the case of atopic disease. Salmon oil has a positive effect in the case of skin inflammation.
  
• Formula «Longevity»: EPA+DHA increase immunity, lower the risk of dangerous illness and have a positive effect on the workings of the brain. Natural Anti-oxidants Complex (vitamin E, vitamin C, green tea extract) protects cells from the activity of free radicals. High level of vitamin E offers protection from cancer, kidney failure and mental decline. Low protein content reduces the production of ammonia, thus easing the function of kidneys and liver. At the same time it maintains muscle mass. Low level of sodium (Na) eases the functioning of the heart and protects against heart failure. Low level of phosphorus (P) lowers the risk of liver failure. High content of high viscosity fibres facilitates a reduction in the risk of developing sugar diabetes, creating favourable conditions for metabolism and improving stool consistency. Biotine is involved in the production of glucokinases – substances which activate glucose metabolism. Glucokinase is produced in the same place in the liver where biotine is stored. This is particularly important for diabetics, who have low glucokinase content in the liver. Biotine also plays a not insignificant role in the synthesis of glycogens, i.e. carbohydrates built up in the liver and muscles, and also in the intake of these reserves and in what is called gluconeogenesis, a process whereby 16 of 22 amino acids are transformed into glucose. In this way biotine stabilises the sugar content in the blood. Thanks to its high biotine content Kennels` Favourite® Petit Senior significantly improves glucose metabolism in dogs which suffer from diabetes.
  
• Chondro Protective Agents (Salmon Oil, Chondroitin and Glucosamine): 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.
  
• Ortho Protective System: Reduces proliferation of oral bacteria, decreases the degree of dental plaque and the formation of dental calculus. Facilitates masking of bad breath, and, characteristically, suppresses the production of anaerobic bacteria from sulphonated volatile fatty acids. Forms precipitates of calcium ions dissolved in saliva so that the calcium is no longer available to be localised in dental plaque and to form dental calculus..
  
• Cardio Protection and Treatment (Taurine + L-Carnitine): the combination of taurine and L-carnitine will treat cardiomyopathy. Taurine (2-aminoethane-sulphic acid) is an organic acid which is formed from methionine and cysteine, and is essential for the proper functioning of the heart. Taurine plays a major role in the working of the heart muscle. L-carnitine helps to normalise the operation of the heart muscle. When added to food the combination of taurine+L-carnitine helps to protect the animal from heart disease. Thanks to K’F.Petit.Senior all those suffering from cardiomyopathy may be successfully taken off medication.
  
• Formula «Digestive Health», enriched with Prebiotics (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.
  
• 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.
• Highly Digestible Proteins: Ensures optimal digestion and efficient nutrient conversion, prevent of adverse reactions to food.
  
• Natural Antioxidant 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.

Feeding advice

Because each dog has different requirements, the recommended daily quantities should only be used as a guide. This is a guide only, as an individual dog’s requirements will vary depending on various factors including breed, activity level, metabolism, age and environment. Feeding quantities should be adjusted to suit your individual dog’s requirements. The amount of feed the best to split over three (3) meals per day. When feeding for the first time introduce Kennels` Favourite® gradually over a period of 4 to 10 days. Always give your dog food and water in clean bowls. Make sure that your dog always has fresh and available drinking water next to the food. The water bowl should be thoroughly cleaned 1-2 times a day and filled with fresh drinking water.

Storage advice

While dry food will not spoil as rapidly as other types of food, it does not last indefinitely. Always make sure that you use such foods before the expiration date. Keep the food dry and store it inside the bag it came in; we design the bags to resist moisture and airflow. The best way to store a large bag of dog or cat food is to place the original bag inside a clean plastic pail or container with a secure lid. Do not store dry food in humid rooms, as damp conditions will accelerate spoiling. Always roll the top of the bag down tightly and cinch it closed with a clip. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that pet owners keep dry foods and treats in locations that do not exceed 23°.C (degrees Celsius) or 74°.F (degrees Fahrenheit).
