the PANDEAN diet …
the new way to feed your dog – PANDEAN is an expertly conceived diet concept that provides dogs with virtually everything they need for a healthy, active life, while enabling the dog owners to safely and confidently feed their canine companion the best available diet on the market1. Though the diet's fresh ingredients and deli meat appeal is an entirely new concept for many dogs and their owners, research and testing of its formula has been ongoing for many years2 . In fact, many in the leading edge scientific community have already embraced this approach and it has enjoyed phenomenal popularity over the last seven years in Australia, New Zealand and Sweden, where it is widely accepted3.
PANDEAN diets are complete and balanced for all stages of your dog's life (based upon AAFCO Nutrient Profiles), and the Doggy Style Deli' s Nutrition Mixes exceed these nutritional standards! The name PANDEAN connotes the Pasteurized, Nutrient Dense and All Natural principles adhered to by the diet, which resulted from the evolution of a broad spectrum of scientific research into improving existing practices and formulas for feeding companion animals4.
PA – Pasteurization is a process widely used in the processing of human food such as in dairy and meat products5. Pasteurization is equated to safe processing because it is a “gentle” means of eliminating pathogenic bacteria and parasites from food without destroying the inherent nutrient value6.
ND – Nutrient Dense. The diet's formulation provides all the essential nutrients by requiring the correct mixture of meat, vegetables, grains, essential oils, vitamins and minerals to keep your dog healthy, active and happy7. It is a protein-rich, fresh, meat-based diet that is more suitable to dogs' natural digestive processes.
AN – All Natural ingredients are another departure from traditional pet food formulations8. Only fresh “whole” meat (not bone meal or by-products), internal organs, vegetables and the required levels of fiber, vitamins and minerals form the base ingredients. Absolutely no preservatives or additives such as artificial coloring, no glutens, sugars, digestive accelerants or soy are included in this diet.
not a Raw Diet, as commonly interpreted as due to the popularity of the Raw (BARF) diet, and the relatively new introduction of the PANDEAN diet to North America. The PANDEAN diet was expertly conceived to provide your canine companion with complete and balanced meals9. Prepared from all natural ingredients, pasteurized and then immediately and continuously chilled, to ensure total freshness and safety while preserving its naturally great taste, PANDEAN dog foods ensure that your dog will eat what is good for them and keep you both healthy and safe.
