BOREAL Proper Healthy Grains Large Breed Red Meat Dry Dog Food, 25 lb (11.3 kg)

Large Breed Red Meat Proper is based on lamb meal with a low glycemic base of pea and beans. Their large breed formulas all keep to a moderate protein level and have added glucosamine, Omega-6, and Availa®Pet minerals to support the dietary needs of large breed dogs. They believe that pet foods should avoid starchy ingredients that might lead to weight gain and obesity. An alternative to a grain-free diet is to pick a dog food that avoids high sugar grains such as corn or wheat. There are particular grains such as steel-cut oats that are very good for your dog and have many beneficial properties. That’s why Boréal has developed a line called Boréal proper dog food.

Low glycemic index steel-cut oats & barley from Ontario’s Central Mennonite farming region are fantastic ingredients, along with low glycemic peas and white beans. Proper grains are low carb grains plus steel cut oats and barley are a great value and are grown locally. Ontario oats and barley provide a rich source of vitamins, minerals, low glycemic carbohydrates, essential oils, fibre, and proteins.

They use single source of meat protein in Proper Dog Foods to assist in digestibility and allergy issues. These foods are naturally persevered and are potato, wheat, and corn-free.

Boréal Dog Foods use Availa®Pet – a special collection of minerals bound to amino acids to make the minerals ‘bio-available’. The organic zinc in Availa®Pet is easily absorbed and is many times more available to a dog than other zinc sources. Zinc is essential for healthy skin & coat.
