WHAT MAKES AZMIRA DRY FORMULAS SO DIFFERENT?

• fres-pet barrier packaging
  These bags are superior to paper and even zip lock bags in many ways. Clinical tests proved no rancidity for well over nine months! This resulted in food being kept as fresh as the day it was made. Vitamins remained potent, thus making them more effective. All the other ingredients also retained their "farm freshness", making them taste better, more bioavailable and all around better for your dog. 
  
  To get technical, traditional multi-ply paper bags have over 200 cc’s of air moving in and out of the bag - daily - resulting in spoilage (rancidity). If you had put that food into zip lock baggies there would be well over 600 cc’s of air transfer. In our fres-pet™ bag there is only 3 cc’s of air being transferred - not enough to effect rancidity. Of course, our primary goal is to get the food into your pantry as soon as possible after we make it. But isn’t it nice to know it will stay fresh regardless of when you buy it. Also, by storing your food in our fres-pet™ bag with the open end folded down (with three folds), your food will remain fresher, longer.
  
• Chelated minerals
  Because minerals are hard for the body to absorb, we use minerals that are chelated or "attached" to easily absorbable amino acids, for better digestion. As a result, our minerals are over 100% more readily absorbed than commonly used inorganic minerals.
  
• Ester-c®
  Like a chelated mineral, this patented form of Vitamin C is up to four times more bioavailable than ordinary Vitamin C.
  
• Menhaden Fish Meal
  Provides higher quality EFA’s (essential fatty acids), a natural flavour dogs love, and additional, easy-to-digest proteins for strong muscles & healthy skin.
  
• Alfalfa, Carrots and Apples
  Provide a healthy alternative to commonly used fibre sources such as grain fractions (by-products or cast offs unfit for humans) beet pupl and ground peanut shells. Beet pulp was identified as a source of sugar and hyperactivity/aggression. Now manufacturers say “Beet pulp (sugar removed)”. This is the same beet pulp as has always been used, only described in fuller detail. You see, the “sugarless pulps” is the waste product from sugar manufacturing, so technically the sugar has been removed – but enough has remained to become a detriment to the health of pets. Carrots and apples are not only tastier, they are healthier for the pet and effective in supporting colon function through detoxification. Nutritionally-oriented vets support animals’ optimum health by using herbs and fruits/vegetables to provide nutritive or restorative properties.
  
• USDA meats & whole grains
  We only use the finest Grade A meats and grains. The meats in our dry foods are in a meal form to provide more "concentrated" nutrition. The grains are only whole grains, and all are pressure cooked to preserve their nutritional value and enhance digestibility.
  Whole Ground Barley - full of essential nutrients and easy to digest Oatmeal - a heart smart food that is an excellent fiber and is clinically proven to lower cholesterol
  Whole Ground Grain Sorghum - rich in amino acids, gluten free, and is alkalizing to the stomach
  
• All Life Stages
  We have formulated both Azmira animal nutrition's dry formulas to be a healthy, nutrient rich diet for dogs of all life stages and lifestyles. By varying the amount you feed accordingly, your dog will get all of the necessary nutrients in every bite.

GREAT CANNED DIETS

Beef & Chicken Tasty, all muscle meat diet; great by itself, added to homecooked diets or for gravy. Excellent choice to mix well with supplements to “hide” them in the food.

Lamb & Rice Easy to digest – with fresh whole grains, peas & carrots. Excellent choice to improve energy and superior calorie utilization to stabilize weight in sick pets.

Ocean Fish Highest EFA’s, with easy-to-digest calories for ailing pets; stimulates appetites while providing energy for healing and optimum protein digestion.

Made for us in the only human fish cannery in the US, which is certified kosher and certified for the EU, our canned formulas are made of only the finest Grade A meats, Grade 1 grains and flavourful vegetables for additional nutrients.

Where most other companies add water for processing we use Healthy Flavour Broth^TM (rich in fatty acids). Making our diets one of the highest in the essential fatty acids (Omega-3 & 6) that your pet needs for a healthy skin and coat. We never use cheap “fillers” or flavour “enhnacers” as these ingredients are known to interfere with nutrient assimilation.

Our canned formulas are designed to be nutritionally complete on their own or they can be used to complement our dry formulas and home cooking (click here for ingredient information).

Azmira was in the Top 20 Canned Food in the Whole Dog Journal October 2000, 2001 & 2002
