WHICH DOG?
ESSENTIAL the BEGINNING is our special food for puppies
& juniors, who as adults will weigh up to a maximum
of 15 kg. As you can and should always expect from us,
only top-quality ingredients are used. The BEGINNING
is GRAIN-FREE and follows our BOF principle. Important!
Puppies that will weigh more than 15 kg as adults
must begin on the BEGINNING LARGE BREED from 8
weeks of age.
For breeders: For all puppies from about 3 weeks of age.
Soak the meals in boiled, slightly cooled water to make
porridge, and introduce gradually.
Serve the BEGINNING to the bitch until the pups are 6-8
weeks.
Can also be served before giving birth for extra energy/
strength.

BOF - A SENSATION WITHIN PET FOODS.
Behavioral Optimizing Foods (BOF) is the principle honoring
the many advantages, of keeping the blood sugar
levels stable throughout the day. At ESSENTIAL FOODS
we have achieved just that with our life-changing and
award-winning foods. BOF ensures the stability of your
dog’s sugar levels. Our high fresh meat content and the
low preparation temperature means your dog gets exceptional
nutritional values vs. mass-branded pet foods.
The results with BOF are breathtaking. Serving ESSENTIALS
positively will affect the mental balance of your
dog. Some report seeing a dramatic transformation in
the behavior, others note a smaller change, however improvement
is always recorded.

IS THIS YOUR FIRST BAG OF ESSENTIALS?
With the first bag of ESSENTIALS comes a nutritional
lifestyle change. Gradually phase in ESSENTIALS over
4-7 days, or make the change from one day to the next
which works equally well.
The most important point is to adjust daily portions to
suit your pet. Overfeeding will result in softer stools. We
therefore advise that you spend the first 2-3 weeks identifying
the correct portion size. When your pet’s stools
are solid, and your pet feels satisfied, you have found the
correct portion size. All you have to do now is enjoy all
the benefits of ESSENTIALS.
TIP: Start by feeding your pet 10% less than usual and
adjusting from there. You are always welcome to contact
us for feeding advice and guidance.
