napfcheck Frei Schnauze is the ideal supplement for anyone who wants to feed flexibly and in line with requirements. Even with a varied diet, it makes sense to regularly supplement certain nutrients for dogs.
The natural salt and trace element content of fresh food ingredients is usually not sufficient to meet the dog's high requirements.
The need for vitamin E increases accordingly with a higher intake of essential fatty acids.
Dogs cannot produce vitamin D themselves through UV light and are therefore dependent on an external supply from their food.
In the case of B vitamins, nutrients are lost through storage and preparation.
Enough reasons to create a suitable supplement. Frei Schnauze closes these gaps with a low daily dose and therefore high acceptance.
Our aim is to develop demand-oriented supplements that also meet other quality criteria such as compatibility and acceptance.
Nutrient supply
The typical self-prepared rations without supplements but with a calcium source such as eggshell powder show significant gaps in the nutrient supply (Fig. 1). These should be filled with appropriate supplements (Fig. 2).
* The black horizontal line shows the supply of the demand at 100%.
