Why Farm Food HE?

The Benefits of Natural Dog Food

  • Farm Food HE does not contain chemical antioxidants nor preservatives
    Because of the high purity of the used raw materials it is unnecessary to add antioxidants or preservatives to Farm Food HE. The only 'disadvantage' of this is that the storage life of our 15kg bags is being limited until six months after production. However: Farm Food HE is available in 4 kilogram oxygen-free packaging (with an oxygen-impermeable laminate) allowing the food to be preserved for up to 18 months. Even after opening Farm Food HE is still fresh for up to 2 months, subject to dry and clean storage.
  • Farm Food HE is not expanded
    To prevent valuable nutrients from being damaged (e.g. fats) and/or lost (e.g. vitamins) Farm Food HE is not being expanded. The ingredients that need expanding (the grains) are being expand beforehand and after this they are processed in the total composition. 
  • Farm Food HE does not contain thickenersNatural Oxygen free dogfood packaging
    Thickeners are often added to obtain a more solid pellet. However thickeners have the disadvantage that they bind certain trace-elements in the intestines which makes it impossible to absorb them. Because of this a misbalance in the food can arise which can have a very bad effect on the health of dogs in the long run.
  • Farm Food HE is meant for all dogs of all ages
    Because dogs of different ages and/or under different circumstances do not need another, but more or less of a food that is biologically in balance there is only one kind of Farm Food HE. Quality and digestibility of the ingredients as well as the composition of Farm Food HE is of such kind that puppy- and senior-food is unnecessary, as it is in nature! It will be clear to you that we attach significance to the quality and the purity of the ingredients too prevent the liver from being overburdened. Actually this is the secret of the fact that so many dogs do so very well on Farm Food HE, also in the long run!
  • Young dogs grow more even
    When pups eat Farm Food HE from the beginning they grow much more even without the familiar grow-shocks and -pains. This means that they have a better bone-development and makes that the tendons and muscles can develop more evenly, which makes them more stable. Increasingly we get conformation from breeders that their dogs are always "in balance" during growth. Especially with the bigger breeds this is striking.
  • The dogs become stronger and more muscular
    In their nature dogs are mammal-eaters. This natural feeding-pattern of dogs is taken into account during the development of Farm Food HE. That is why during the preparation of Farm Food HE only meatmeal and fat of mammals (beef) is used instead of poultry (chicken). Because of this the aminoacid-pattern in the food is almost identical to the natural build up of the body. Due to this dogs become more robust and well-muscled.

  • Farm Food HE contains no chicken or other poultry
    As most chicken or poultry, which is available for consumption, comes from birds that are slaughtered when their growth peaks (birds between 5 and 6 weeks old), the meat contains many naturally occurring growth hormones (these hormones are produced in the chicken’s own hypophysis). Moreover, the cartilage contains much proline. Proline is not an essential amino acid but an imino acid, which adversely affects the functioning of essential amino acids (it is an antagonist). Our more than 30-years experience has taught us that these factors combined are bad for your dog’s overall health. The growth of young dogs and the fertility of females can be particularly affected. These harmful effects occur far less or not at all when the meat is from adult chickens (slaughtered when their egg production declines).
  • The dogs get more joie de vivre and balanced character
    People keep on telling us that their dogs get more joy of living en become more happy after they have switched to Farm Food HE. This is caused by the high quality and pure raw materials that are used. For example: by using high quality (Dutch) beef-protein the aminoacid-need is covered more than enough by a protein-fraction of more than 23%. Considerable less waste material originate from this by which the liver is alleviated. Also the fact that there are no colourings, flavourings nor aromatic substances used in Farm Food HE (because of the negative effect it has on some children) probably contributes to a positive and stabilising effect on the dogs character.
  • The furs becomes better and more fullNatural Holystic Dogfood Store Display
    Because of the use of pure beef-fats that are not heated above 90° Celsius, of course filled up with lecithin, the metabolism of dogs is being less burdened. When you also consider the fact that there are no antioxidants added during the production you understand that the skin will not be used as a secreting organ of garbage. These facts together with the high-grade protein quality and the fact that there are no thickeners used make that food-related skin and fur problems are being solved. The colour and structure of de furs become again as they are supposed to be!
  • Older dogs start their "second youth"
    It is striking that lots of Farm Food HE customers report that older dogs become and stay more active and lively than dogs of equal age but on another food. We also receive reports from dog lovers that their dog(s) began their "second youth" after they had switched to Farm Food HE. We can attribute this fact completely to the high purity of Farm Food HE.
  • Farm Food HE gives very good defecation
    The dogs that eat Farm Food HE have in general very good defecation. Not coloured weak turds, but beautiful dark droppings. There is relatively little defecation because Farm Food HE contains much energy a kilo with a digestibility of more than 86%.
