Valens Farmer Chicken & Turkey: Premium Canadian Dog Food for Adult Dogs

Valens™ Farmer for dogs is a premium dry food formulated for adult dogs, designed to promote and maintain a healthy body weight. This recipe combines tender chicken and fresh turkey from Fraser Valley farms, along with natural fruits and vegetables, to provide balanced and flavorful nutrition for your canine companion.

Why this food?

Valens Farmer is an accessible premium recipe that combines several key benefits:

• Fresh poultry as the first ingredient: fresh, deboned chicken and turkey, for an unparalleled nutritional profile
• Healthy weight maintenance: formulation with low-glycemic carbohydrates to stabilize blood sugar
• Integrated glucosamine and chondroitin: joint support directly in the food (rare!)
• Hypoallergenic: no corn, wheat, or soy
• No hormones, antibiotics, by-products, or artificial preservatives
• Canadian ingredients wherever possible
• Excellent palatability thanks to Vita chicken cubes and fresh ingredients

Integrated joint support

A rare feature in dry food: Valens Farmer contains glucosamine and chondroitin, two essential ingredients for joint support. These compounds:

• Help maintain healthy cartilage
• Support mobility and flexibility
• Prevent age-related or activity-related joint wear and tear
• Are particularly useful for large breeds or dogs predisposed to joint problems

This is a clear advantage for owners who would otherwise supplement separately.
