If your dog tolerates it and isn’t hypersensitive, you can add variety to your dog’s diet. For example, combine kibble with wet food or fresh meat, or regularly give your dog treats like snacks or chew bones.

TIP: Active High Energy contains a healthy percentage of fat. Fat slows down stomach emptying and digestion, which can be beneficial for certain intestinal diseases. Fat is generally well digestible, which means dogs with EPI (pancreatic disease), IBD (chronic intestinal inflammation), and gastritis (stomach inflammation) often experience less vomiting or diarrhea with a high-fat diet!

More information about active dogs, their energy, protein, fat and carbohydrates, and short and/or long exercise can be found here.

If you’ve been very active with your dog, for example, a long hour-long walk where your dog was also off-leash, it’s wise to give your dog something immediately after exercise rather than waiting until dinner time. Give a snack that’s high in protein and/or fat and contains no or few carbohydrates, such as the new BF®Petfood meat bars and/or the original BF®Petfood sheep fat treats including those with salmon oil.

Some satisfied Active/High Energy users are the sled dogs of the Berenschot family. Their Siberian Husky Kennel “Chibewyan” is located in Drachten, Friesland, and consists of Siberian huskies trained by Han, Sandra & Cindy Berendschot. Under the sports name “Sleddog Team Touch of Frost,” they participate in events organized by sled dog associations with scooter, cart, sled, and even canicross, both domestically and internationally.

*Please note! It is sometimes claimed that a high protein content can cause skeletal problems in dogs (e.g., large breeds). This is a myth. A too high calcium content can cause growth problems, particularly in young dogs of larger breeds. The calcium content of High Energy falls within the Fediaf petfood standards for puppies. For large young dogs with little exercise and/or too rapid growth, it may be advisable to temporarily use the Active High Energy food and then switch to Giant, Adult, or Lamb & Rice at the beginning of the Adult phase.

*Sustainable “No waste” packaging.
Our sustainable “no waste” packaging is mono-material which is recyclable. The sustainable “No waste” plastic pet food bags, which are unique in the Benelux, can therefore be disposed of with collected plastic waste. Please note! Many pet food bags consist of either multiple types of plastic with or without a metallized layer, or appear to be made entirely of paper but contain plastic due to the fat barrier. Both these options are not or very difficult to recycle.

Please note! When is something recyclable? In short: if it’s produced from mono-materials or if it’s collected separately. Our can and pet food packaging (plastic and cardboard) are recyclable and can go in the PMD waste (plastic, metal and beverage cartons). If this is not possible in your municipality then our tin and pet food (LDPE plastic) packaging can go with the residual waste and post-separation, of recyclable and non-recyclable material, takes place via state-of-the-art sorting machines in your municipality. Our new folding carton packaging (chocolates and tablets) with FSC certification can simply be handed in separately for recycling with the old paper and cardboard in each municipality.
