Why Chicken (Free Range)?
- 1
High nutritional value
Rich in vital micronutrients such as quality protein, taurine, B vitamins (especially B12, B6 and riboflavin), iron, zinc and phosphorus.
- 2
Natural and additive-free
Free-range chickens are fed natural feed without antibiotics or growth hormones, which lowers the risk of chemical residues.
- 3
Easy to digest and appetising
Naturally very palatable and easy to digest — particularly suitable for pets with a low appetite or a sensitive digestive system.
- 4
Healthy fat profile
Contains natural animal fats that provide energy and support skin and coat health.
- 5
Low allergenic potential
Because free-range chickens are raised with less stress and without antibiotics, their meat is considered safer in terms of allergenic effects.
- 6
A natural source of taurine
Taurine, which is critical for cats, occurs naturally in chicken heart. It supports heart health, eye function and the immune system.

Ethical and sustainable production
Production that respects animal welfare shows respect for the right to life of all animals, not only our pets.
