At Summit 10, we not only strive to provide the best food for your pets, but we also delve into the ingredients we use and how they can improve the overall health and well-being of your furry companions. We’ll explore some of the key components we incorporate into our recipes and their positive impacts on the health of dogs and cats.
Prebiotics (FOS and MOS) – Promoting Optimal Gut Health
Prebiotics, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and mannanoligosaccharides (MOS), are critical to the balance of your pet’s intestinal flora. These components help nourish beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, promoting their proliferation, thereby promoting a balanced gut microbiome, better nutrient absorption and strengthening the immune system.
Probiotics – Supporting Gut Health and the Immune System
Probiotics are powerful allies in your pet’s quest for optimal health. By adding beneficial strains of bacteria to the diet, such as Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, we are helping to maintain a healthy balance in the gut, which can improve digestion and strengthen the body’s natural defences.
Fibre and its Impact on Gastrointestinal Transit
Fibre is essential for proper digestive function in dogs and cats. In our recipes, we use different types of fibre, including fermentable (usually soluble) and non-fermentable (usually insoluble) fibre. These types of fibre play specific roles: while fermentable fibre supports intestinal health and promotes healthy bacterial flora, non-fermentable fibre adds bulk and promotes regular intestinal transit. Both forms of fibre are equally important and contribute to a longer feeling of fullness.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Fighting Inflammation and Improving General Health
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining a balanced inflammatory response in your pet’s body. With well-documented anti-inflammatory effects, these nutrients can benefit pets suffering from food allergies, environmental allergies, joint diseases such as osteoarthritis and gastrointestinal disorders. At Summit 10, we make sure to source omega-3 fatty acids from marine sources, which are more effective than those from plant sources.
Omega-6 and Omega-3 – Supporting a Healthy Skin and Coat
The right balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and coat in dogs and cats. Our recipes are formulated to provide this optimal balance, promoting healthy skin and a shiny coat in your pets.
Chondroprotectors – Joint Care for an Active Life
To maintain your pet’s vitality and mobility, we’ve incorporated chondroprotectors into our recipes. These compounds not only help slow the breakdown of joint cartilage, but also provide essential support for overall joint health, allowing your pets to enjoy an active, pain-free life.
Phytogenic Compounds – Fighting Oxidative Stress and Promoting Digestive Wellness
Our products also contain phytogenic compounds, which offer a wide range of benefits, including antioxidant properties and support for digestive wellness. These natural plant-based components are key to keeping your pets at their best, from the inside out.
L-Carnitine – A Compound of Great Vitality Concern
L-carnitine is an essential nutrient for energy production and fat metabolism. Its inclusion in our recipes helps maintain vitality and healthy body weight in your pets, ensuring they are ready to face any adventure that comes their way.
CONCLUSION
At Summit 10, we are proud to offer a complete and balanced diet for dogs and cats, backed by high quality ingredients that promote health and wellness at every stage of your pet’s life.
