Terra Canis Dog Food at a glance:

• Meat, fish and other ingredients are freshly processed. The ingredients are of proven human grade quality and sourced in Germany.
• Terra Canis guarantees that only the ingredients listed are used in the preparation of the food.
• The gentle cooking process (cold filled then slowly cooked at low temperatures) ensures maximum preservation of the high-quality, natural vitamins, secondary plant substances, minerals/trace elements and proteins.
• The addition of precisely calculated amounts of organic eggshells and mineral clay ensure an optimal, natural calcium-phosphorus-ratio of 1.3:1.0.
• Terra Canis consistently avoids the use of bone and animal meal, low grade by-products, fillers, slaughterhouse waste, artificial colours, preservatives and flavourings, artificial anti-oxidants and any kind of chemical additives, binding agents or sugar.
• The result is an appetising and tasty wet dog food, that tastes home made.

• Muscle meat: provides your dog's organism with high quality proteins and omega-6 fatty acids. This meat includes heart and chicken, turkey and rabbit stomach (stomach and heart are pure muscle and do not count as offal). The proportion of muscle meat in any portion of meat should always be higher than that of any other ingredient and it forms the main part of Terra Canis dog food.
• Lamb and beef gullet meat: Gullet meat consists of 90% cartilage and is an optimal natural provider of calcium - important for your dog's bones and cartilage.
• Liver: The liver is a detoxifying organ and should only be fed rarely and in small portions to your dog. It does however contain plenty of minerals and trace elements and should not be entirely excluded from your dog's diet. Terra Canis therefore only uses liver in small quantities in a few of its recipes.
• Organic eggshell: Terra Canis replaces essential calcium gained in the wild from the prey's bones by using eggshells. Using comparative before and after analysis, the correct calcium-phosphorus ratio of 1.3:1.0, was established. The addition of eggshells achieves this optimum ratio in a natural way.
• Dietary fibre from vegetables, fruit and herbs: Dietary fibre is important for your dog's digestion; it stimulates and cleanses the digestive system. Different kinds of fruit and vegetables contain different kinds of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and secondary plant metabolites, so you should make sure your dog gets a good variety. Terra Canis recipes contain more than 20 different kinds of vegetables, fruit and herbs.
• Spirulina algae: Spirulina algae provides your dog with all important minerals and trace elements (such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, selenium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, iodine etc), all essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and many important vitamins.
• Mineral clay: Mineral clay contains plenty of important minerals and trace elements (for example, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, selenium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc) and also provides all essential amino acids.
• Rapeseed oil: Rapeseed oil consists of optimally balanced linoleic acid and is ideal for a balanced, healthy diet. It supplies your dog with natural vitamin A and important omega-3 fatty acids.
• Wheat germ oil: Wheat germ oil is rich in vitamin E and omega-6 fatty acids and combines well with rapeseed oil.
• Andes salt: Salt is an important part of your dog’s diet since it provides a variety of minerals. Chloride in particular is important for a correct balance of electrolytes. In the wild, salt is taken in through the saline blood of the prey. Terra Canis uses natural and untreated Andes salt, the "white gold" of the Incas.
• Whey: Whey contains the protein with the highest known biological value. It contains minerals, vitamins and numerous amino acids.
• Rose hip powder: Rose hip powder supplies vitamin C in addition to the dog's natural synthesis which supports the whole organism.

Why does Terra Canis Grain-Free for dogs always contain a little liquid and / or jelly? The answer is quite simple: Fresh, raw meat, vegetables, fruit and herbs have a very high water content (70% to 90%). During the cooking process the water content turns to steam and is reduced. Unlike food is cooked in an open container Terra Canis Grain-Free is cooked in a closed can so the liquid is not reduced and remains in the can. Terra Canis does not use grain, pseudo grain or synthetic binding agents in these menus so the liquid is not thickened. The cooking process gives the liquid a jelly-like consistency. This is a natural process and the jelly should be included as part of the meal since it contains many important nutrients. These recipes do not contain more liquid than Terra Canis Classic Menus which include grain and pseudo grain. The liquid in these recipes has been absorbed and bound by the millet, brown rice or amaranth and is no longer visible.
