| Q & AORCHARD HOUSE PET FOOD Is it easy to switch to Orchard House Pet Food? Yes. We would recommend that you did this gradually, to introduce the new food in increasing measure over a period of 7-10 days until your dog is feeding entirely on Orchard House Pet Food. This would allow an easy transition and gives the digestive system the opportunity to become accustomed to the new food. Which of the variety of Orchard House Pet Food is right for my dog? As stated in our ‘Food & Health’ section it depends on the individual, their lifestyle and life stage. The choices are from our Hypo Allergenic ‘Super Premium Canine’, Single Source Protein ‘Naturals Choice Blend’, ‘Grain Free’ and now 'Orchard's Prime' ranges. The Hypo Allergenic ‘Super Premium Canine ’ is suitable for most dogs and offers a variety of flavours, with the addition of ‘Special Formula’ options for common issues. Our ‘Naturals Choice Blend’ offers a choice of food that excludes Dairy, Egg, Pork & Beef that some dogs have an intolerance of. The ‘Grain Free’ range is for dogs that have an intolerance of or, sensitivity to grain. 'Orchard's Prime' is the latest edition to our different ranges of food. Each recipe contains 35% Freshly Prepared Animal Ingredients which are not only highly digestible, but are also a natural source of collagen, providing greater health benefits to our pets. There is a variety of flavours for each one of the Adult foods in these categories and you can find the feeding guidelines for each of our listed products on their respective ingredients page, to help you. How much should I feed my dog? Again, this depends on the individual, their lifestyle and life stage. For example younger, more active dogs will need to eat more than our more senior friends who might not be so active. For them we have the ‘Senior/Light’ option in each category that is also suitable for adult dogs that need to lose a little weight! Also, each of our categories has Puppy Food that contains higher protein levels and the ingredients to assist their healthy growth. You can find the feeding guidelines on each of our listed product pages that give some parameters to help you. It is important to know the healthy weight parameters for your dog and if you are not sure you could always seek advice from your vet. Does Orchard House Pet Food contain animal derivatives? No. You will not see the term “animal derivatives” listed in the Orchard House ingredients. All of our Hypo allergenic 'Super Premium Canine', Naturals Choice Blend', 'Grain Free' and 'Orchard's Prime' products state each individual raw material added so you can see what is within the recipe. Is there any need to add other food to the Orchard House Pet Food? This is not necessary as the food is nutritionally complete and is formulated to meet all of your dog’s dietary needs. Adding to it could upset the nutritional balance that the food offers. What about adding water to the food? If your dog has a tender mouth or gums you can always add some warm water to soften the kibble otherwise, this is down to individual preference. The kibble is crunchy and can help clean your dog’s teeth. Most importantly, please make sure that your dog always has a bowl of clean, fresh drinking water. ........................................................................................................ You might ask: Why should I switch my dog's food to Orchard House Pet Food? We have different ranges of food types that address many of the varied issues for the individual dietary needs of our dogs, and in a variety of flavours for all sizes, age and lifestyles. When compared to many leading High Street brands, on a like for like basis there could be a material saving without compromising on the quality. |
