BORÉAL
Proper Large Breed Chicken Meal - Low Carb Grains
Large
Breed Chicken Proper is based on chicken meal with a low glycemic base of pea
and beans. Our large breed formulas all keep to a moderate protein level and
have added glucosamine, Omega-6 and Availa®Pet minerals to support the dietary
needs of large breed dogs. We believe that pet foods should avoid starchy
ingredients that might lead to weight gain and obesity. An alternative to a
grain free diet is to pick a dog food that avoids the high sugar grains such as
corn or wheat. There are particular grains such as steel cut oats that are
very good for your dog and have many beneficial properties. That’s why we
at Boréal have developed a line called Boréal Proper Dog Food.
Low
glycemic index steel cut oats & barley from Ontario’s Central Mennonite
farming region are fantastic ingredients, along with low glycemic peas and
white beans. Proper grains are low carb grains plus steel cut oats and barley
are a great value and are grown locally. Ontario oats and barley provide a
rich source of vitamins, minerals, low glycemic carbohydrates, essential oils,
fiber and proteins.
We
use a single source of meat protein in our Proper Dog Foods to assist in
digestibility and allergy issues. These foods are naturally persevered and are
potato, wheat and corn free.
Our Boréal Dog Foods use Availa®Pet – a special collection of minerals bound to amino acids to make the minerals ‘bio-available’. The organic zinc in Availa®Pet easily absorbed and is many times more available to a dog than other zinc sources. Zinc is essential for healthy skin & coat.
