Nature's HUG ™ “Sustainable” Alternative Protein is a very high quality single-cell complex MYCOPROTEIN! It is composed of dry yeast (Saccharomyces). Its comprehensive nutritional profile, along with its low levels of fat and ash, makes it the ideal “sustainable” protein for dogs and cats.
Mycoprotein NH has a profile of amino acids which is similar to chicken. However, it has the advantage of generating much lower GHG emissions in its production and in its life cycle. It therefore benefits our pets and our ecosystem.
NH alternative protein also contains vitamin B12, produced by the natural fermentation process. It is 4% less fat than most other traditional forms of protein and low in sodium and sugar.
The health benefits don't stop there. Mycoprotein plays a regulatory role in sugar levels and blood cholesterol levels.
Mycoprotein will stimulate muscle protein synthesis even better than whey and casein proteins found in dairy products.
Formulated specifically for pets, NH mycoprotein is an excellent source of digestible amino acids.
Recent studies have demonstrated that a mycoprotein-based diet provides a level of palatability, assimilation and digestibility similar to or greater than a diet based on traditional animal proteins.
No negative effects on palatability, digestibility, urine pH or the health of adult cats.
Cats demonstrate a statistically significant preference for consuming food containing the MYCOPROTEIN NH.
High digestibility and use as a control diet based on total tract digestion (+80%) of proteins, fats , dry matter and organic matter.
No negative effects on the palatability, digestibility or health of adult dogs.
Dogs demonstrate a statistically significant preference for consuming food containing the MYCOPROTEIN NH.
High digestibility and use as a control diet based on total tract digestion (+ 90%) of protein fat and total tract digestion (+ 85%) of dry matter and organic matter.
In addition to providing exceptional nutrition with optimal nutritional values, our nutritionists understand the importance of high palatability in pet foods.
So, we have designed recipes that will please even the most picky cats or dogs. Mealtime for our companions should be a good time for celebration!
OPTI-BIOM is a blend of pre, pro and postbiotics, which will improve the animal's microbiome health, immunity and vitality, using natural ingredients and cutting-edge technology.
The microbiome is a delicate system of “good” and “bad” microorganisms. They work together to maintain the health of the animal. If the balance between the two is disrupted, your pet will certainly suffer.
OPTI-BIOM technology delivers the right combination of metabolites to optimize microbiome health, immunity, vitality and overall well-being.
Daily consumption of this large family (Pre-Pro Postbiotics) will lead to a balanced beneficial microbiome with many benefits:
• Formation of an optimal microorganism and prevention of intestinal inflammation
• Improved overall digestion and skin and coat health
• Prevent intestinal inflammation and ensure normal, regular bowel movements
• Reduced stress and anxiety and improved healthy metabolism
• Strengthen immunity and support good oral health
• Regulation of adequate growth and development
• Reduction of shedding and pathogens
OPT-BIOM uses unique technology to better protect microorganisms, fibers, carbohydrates and enzymes from pre-pro and postbiotics.
Micro-encapsulation is a technology aimed at producing small particles called microcapsules, which can be released at a specific rate under certain conditions.
Like you, your dog requires good oral hygiene. Establish a dental maintenance routine for your pet from an early age.
The abrasive action (mechanical tooth brushing) activated by Nature's HUG ™ kibble will help remove plaque. The addition of vitamin C, which is clinically proven to inhibit the growth of oral bacteria, will also help reduce the formation
plaque and oral infections that cause bad breath.
It will make your pet's coat much softer and shiny and its skin much healthier. The addition of sunflower oil, flaxseed, Omega 3-6 and zinc greatly contribute to the overall health and beauty of your pet.
The presence of kale and turmeric have a well-known anti-arthritic action. Additionally, calcium and vitamin D will help maintain optimal bone structure.
Omega 3 fatty acids and the presence of several fruits, with their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, will help your pet maintain the mobility of its joints and the flexibility of its movements.
Miscanthus, apple pomace and other fiber-rich sources will help eliminate hairballs by improving intestinal transit.
All our Nature's HUG ™ recipes for cats and dogs are made without grains.
Hypoallergenic
Grain-free diets for dogs and cats offer great benefits. Your pet may very well be allergic to some of the ingredients in the standard food.
Beef, chicken, fish, dairy products and certain grains like wheat, corn and soy are likely to cause allergic reactions. These reactions usually result in skin or digestive problems.
Our formulas are grain-free and animal protein-free, they will significantly reduce the risk of allergies.
Normal and more regular bowel movements
Although necessary, picking up after our pets is not the most pleasant task. With our grain-free recipes, stools will be firmer and more compact.
Since there are no grains, your pet has less food to digest, so he will have fewer bowel movements. Grains in standard pet foods contain a lot of fiber that is difficult for dogs and cats to assimilate.
All our recipes are GMO-free. More natural foods offer several additional benefits to your pet's diet.
Absence of toxic chemicals
Genetically modified foods are grown using synthetic or chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, the residue of which remains in the food no matter how many times it is washed.
Better for the Environment
GMO foods are grown in a chemical-rich environment that, over time, not only causes soil erosion and infertility, but also increases pollution. These methods require much more energy, putting pressure on the earth's natural resources.
Richer in nutrients
Non-GMO foods are richer in nutrients such as omega fatty acids as well as several vitamins and minerals.
100% natural foods
To grow GMO-free food, natural growing methods are used. When foods are natural, they promote a healthy and sustainable lifestyle in addition to improving the overall quality of life. Non-GMO foods are free of chemicals, preservatives or toxins.
Our pet food contains only healthy ingredients from category “A”
and of local origin.
Most come from local producers, farmers and suppliers. Our production facility is located in Ontario, Canada.
We are happy and proud to support our local economy and community. In addition, thanks to local sourcing, we further reduce our carbon footprint.
