AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT ESSENCE PET FOODS

P

ets today are considered family members, which means we want them to eat healthy, nutritious foods to help them live their best life. This is especially true with Essence Pet Foods. With so many pet food brands on the market today, Essence may be one you haven’t heard of, but the creators of Essence have a strong reputation in the pet food industry. Essence Pet Foods is a premium pet food brand made with the highest quality ingredients and loaded with animal proteins. The recipes are very simple, with meat, fish or poultry as the first and second ingredients and containing at least 85% animal or fish protein ingredients, the highest available on the market today with ingredients sourced from all over the world. Essence Pet Foods is a pet food brand that utilizes sustainability sourced plant-based, locally farmed ingredients and a farm-to-plate philosophy. The poultry in the Essence Landfowl limited Ingredient Recipe, for example, is cage-free, antibiotic, and hormone-free. These factors can have a positive effect on the health and well-being of your dog. “Antibiotic-free ingredients are important because there are studies that show that using antibiotics as growth promotants in livestock can contribute to antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans and other species,” said Dr. Quest. “Sustainability is important in pet food ingredients just like it is in human food ingredients,” said Dr. Bradley Quest, DVM. “To continue to supply the industry with healthy, wholesome plant and animal ingredients while having minimal impact on our natural environment is something most people agree about.” Essence Limited Ingredient Recipes utilize two poultry, meat or fish ingredients followed by two meals and two sources of fiber. Their recipes reflect the dog’s ancestral diet: protein-rich and limited in content. It’s also free of potatoes, legumes and gluten and any other ingredient that doesn’t serve a natural, clean diet philosophy. The recipes are rounded out with such healthy ingredients as quinoa and pumpkin.
