What recipes can I make with CompleteMe canine?
Sustainable packaging and ingredients
Our labels (including the adhesive) are made from certified compostable ingredients.
Our stand up pouches are made from plants and are fully biodegradable and home-compostable. They break down into healthy compost leaving no microplastics.
Our mailers are are made from recycled paper and FSC-certified honeycomb and are both compostable and kerbside recyclable.
Why do we provide recipes for use with our meal completers?
A lot of meal completer products come with instructions to add a certain amount of supplement to boneless muscle meat in order to produce a complete and balanced diet. We completely understand that this is convenient and quick! However, there’s a few reasons why we don’t do this:
-
We formulate our canine recipes to have precise protein, fat, and carbohydrate percentages. Some dogs do well on high-fat diets, while others do not. By being specific about the type and cuts of meat in our recipes, we can better control the overall macronutrient levels of the final diets.
-
Our canine recipes (like our feline recipes) are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, namely EPA and DHA, to produce a diet with an optimal ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids. This typically requires additional omega-3 fatty acids, from fish oil, krill oil or marine algae oil. Meal completer supplements generally don’t contain adequate amounts omega-3, and given that a lot of meat-only diets are quite high in omega-6 (from animal fat), we specifically add in certain types of oils rich in omega-3s.
-
We enrich our recipes with specific types and amounts of fibre. Our canine recipes contain plant-derived fibres as does CompleteMe canine from the kale, spinach, and green banana starch. CompleteME canine also contains a probiotic mix, which we think pairs very nicely with the fibres. This can help to support a healthy gut microbiota and promote better faeces.
-
We want to ensure that your dog has access to nutrients derived from a wide range of food ingredients - not just muscle meat. We have therefore included different types of antioxidant-rich leafy greens, fruits packed with phytonutrients, and fat sources in our recipes. Variety is the spice of life and has been shown to promote a more stable gut microbiota at least in other species.
