Give your four-legged friend a good dog kibble
For your furry family member, you want the very best; from extensive cuddle sessions to a
good dog kibble. Of course, you shower your little rascal with love and attention, but your dog also needs healthy nutrition. So let your four-legged friend enjoy high-quality kibble, such as the kibble from Prima Diervoeding.
Which ingredients are essential for a good dog kibble?
As a dog owner, you are increasingly (online) overwhelmed with piles of dog food; not exactly conducive to a well-considered choice. The question is: how do you distinguish a good dog kibble from an unhealthy one? We will delve into that below.
A high meat or fish content
The first and most important ingredient in a good dog kibble is meat or fish. Because although dogs are omnivores, your loyal four-legged friend loves animal proteins. Moreover, our furry friends can digest meat (and fish) particularly well.
However, the delicious taste is not the only reason for a high meat or fish content; dog food with a lot of animal proteins also ensures a healthy energy level and muscle development.
These nutrients must also not be missing in a good dog kibble
We can only speak of a good dog kibble if the composition also contains carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals (in the right amount). These nutrients are necessary for heart function, vision, immune system, and bones. You find these ingredients — among others — in phosphorus, calcium, vegetables, fruit, superfoods, and salmon oil.
A natural alternative to artificial preservatives
At Prima Diervoeding, we stand for natural dog food; we especially avoid artificial preservatives!
Yet we still often see dog food that does use artificial preservatives. A shame, because there are plenty of natural alternatives.
For example, at Prima Diervoeding, we use vitamin E and vitamin C; good for the shelf life and good for your dog's health.
Do you choose crunchy or pressed dog food?
After reading or hearing various stories, you probably wonder: are crunchy or pressed kibbles better?
At Prima Diervoeding, we believe that one is not necessarily better than the other. There is something to be said for both types of kibble. Moreover, no dog is the same, so every four-legged friend can react differently to (crunchy or pressed) kibbles.
Still, at Prima Diervoeding, we have consciously chosen crunchy kibbles because they offer more room for animal proteins. Our motto is not for nothing: 'more meat, less grains.' Not only do dogs love meat (and often fish); a good dog kibble with a high meat or fish content also ensures better digestibility. In short, a win-win situation!
Supplement the diet with wet food
Just as you don’t want to live on bread and cheese alone, your furry four-legged friend also likes a bit of variety. Therefore, alternate a good dog kibble with healthy
wet food. Note: only supplement dry food with wet food; if you vary with different kibbles, it can lead to gastrointestinal problems.
At Prima Diervoeding, the range does not only consist of dry food; you also have a choice of wet food in the flavors chicken, beef, salmon, and lamb.
Enough moisture is essential
It may happen that your dog does not drink enough. In that case, supplement your four-legged friend’s diet (temporarily) with wet food. Thanks to the high moisture content of wet food, your dog still gets enough fluids.
However, wet food is not only a solution for insufficient moisture; it can also help you administer medication.
Let your dog enjoy a tasty dog sausage
You can easily supplement your furry rascal’s diet with a (piece of) dog sausage. A dog sausage is also perfect as a tasty and healthy snack. In short, ideal for more variety!
The Prima Diervoeding range offers a variety of dog sausages in the flavors beef, turkey, game,
salmon, chicken, and
lamb.
Let your puppy grow up with healthy puppy food
To make the arrival of your puppy go as smoothly as possible, good preparation is essential; healthy puppy food should not be missing. This way, you let your little friend bounce through life healthily.
But what do we actually mean by healthy puppy food? To start, a good dog kibble for your little bundle of energy contains a high meat or fish content. Additionally, vitamins and minerals — including calcium and phosphorus — are added for better development of bones and joints.
Looking for healthy puppy food? Then check out our two variants in the Prima Diervoeding webshop.
Are grains bad for your dog’s health?
Although it is often claimed otherwise, grains do not have to be automatically bad for your dog. When grains are well pre-cooked and unlocked and added in the right amount to dog food, the chance that your furry friend will have complaints is much smaller.
But is your dog sensitive or even allergic to grains? Then it may happen that even a good dog kibble with high-quality grains causes complaints. In that case, look for grain-free food that your dog likes.

grain-free kibbles from Prima Diervoeding? Feel free to take a look at our webshop.
Why hypoallergenic food?
The best reason to choose hypoallergenic food is to relieve or even prevent the complaints of your (allergic) four-legged friend. Dogs can have an allergy (or develop one later in life) to certain protein sources. Because beef, chicken, and pork are the most used types of meat in dog food, most allergies arise from these.
As a solution, hypoallergenic food has come onto the market: dry and wet food that contains as few ingredients as possible that can cause an allergic reaction.
To give you an idea of the most common complaints, we have listed them below:
- Diarrhea
- Itching
- Flatulence
- Biting the paws
- Coat problems
- Skin rash
The dry food range also offers hypoallergenic variants: duck & herring, venison & turkey, lamb, and salmon. So head to the nearest supermarket now or check out the Prima Diervoeding range in the webshop.
