Why are additives like garlic safe?
The safety of additives in BF Petfood products is guaranteed by three factors:
1. Strict dosage control: The amount of garlic in the tablets and treats is tiny (approx. 4–5%). For a 10 kg dog, the toxic limit is around 50 grams of fresh garlic per day. These supplements remain 50–100 times below this threshold, even at the maximum dosage.
2. No synthetic substances: BF Petfood uses only natural ingredients. This prevents reactions to artificial colours, scents and flavours, which are often the true cause of 'allergic' symptoms.
3. Quality control on thiosulfates: The garlic extracts used are dosed in such a way that they retain their beneficial immune-boosting properties, while ensuring that thiosulfates, which are harmful to red blood cells, pose zero risk at these low concentrations.
In the world of dog food and supplements, these three terms refer to the manufacturing process and the effect of the food on a dog's body. Here is the explanation for each:
1. Pressed dog food (cold pressed): 'Pressed' refers to the manufacturing process. Unlike standard kibble, which is cooked at high temperatures under pressure (extrusion), pressed food is produced at lower temperatures (approximately 70–75°C).
The process: The ingredients are mixed and pressed through a die into a pellet shape.
The benefit is that, because the heat is lower, more natural vitamins, minerals and oils remain intact.
Digestion: Pressed kibble dissolves from the outside in and does not swell in the stomach. This puts less strain on the digestive tract and reduces the risk of 'bloat' (gastric torsion).
2. Crispy dog food (extruded)
'Crispy' (often referred to as 'krokant' in Dutch) is the standard crunchy kibble that most people are familiar with.
The process: The ingredients are cooked at temperatures above 100°C and 'puffed' through an extruder.
This makes the starches more digestible (pre-gelatinised). The crunchy texture also helps clean the dog's teeth while it chews.
Digestion: These kibbles tend to float and swell when they come into contact with the moisture in a dog's stomach.
3. Hypoallergenic:
'Hypoallergenic' means that the food is formulated to minimise the risk of causing an allergic reaction.
Limited ingredients: They usually contain only one protein source (e.g. lamb, duck or venison) and one carbohydrate source (e.g. rice or potato), which are not commonly associated with allergies.
'Novel proteins' use 'exotic' proteins that the dog has never eaten before, such as horse or rabbit, so the immune system does not recognise them as a threat.
Hydrolysed protein: In some medical diets, the protein is 'chopped up' (hydrolysed) into tiny pieces so that the dog's immune system cannot detect it, thus preventing an allergic response.
Summary table:
Pressed: low temperature, no stomach swelling. Suitable for sensitive stomachs and active dogs.
Crispy: Crunchy and helps with teeth cleaning. Suitable for dogs that like to chew and ideal for easy storage.
Hypoallergenic: avoids common allergens such as beef and chicken. It is suitable for dogs with itchy skin or food allergies.
The average shelf life of Biofood kibble and other dry products is 12–18 months from the production date.
However, this changes significantly once the package is opened. To ensure optimal quality and safety, please follow these guidelines, which are based on industry standards and manufacturer recommendations.
Shelf life guidelines:
Unopened: 12–18 months if stored in a cool, dry, dark place. Always refer to the 'best before' date stamped on the packaging.
Opened: Once the seal is broken, it is highly recommended that you consume the kibble within four to six weeks. Exposure to oxygen begins a process called oxidation, which can cause fats to go rancid and nutrients, such as vitamins, to degrade.[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Critical storage tips for freshness:
To maximise shelf life, BF Petfood and other experts recommend:
Keep it in the original bag: The packaging is specifically designed to act as a barrier against moisture and air.
Use an airtight secondary container. For extra protection, place the entire original bag inside an airtight plastic or metal container.
Avoid high temperatures. Store the food below 21°C (70°F). Never store pet food in garages, sheds, or near heat-emitting appliances, as heat accelerates spoilage and attracts pests.
Never mix batches. Do not pour new kibble onto old remains in a container, as the residual fats from the old food can contaminate the new food. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Signs of spoiled food include a sour or rancid smell, visible mould or your dog refusing to eat a meal they would normally enjoy. Discard it immediately if you notice any of these signs.
Flo Féa is also adding brand Autarky
Autarky is a British brand originally developed for active and working dogs, which is why its recipes are more specialized than standard pet-store kibble. It focuses on a holistic, nutrient-dense approach to provide high energy and recovery support for dogs with "jobs" (like agility, farm work, or gundogs). [1, 2, 3]
Why it is Healthy:
100% Natural Ingredients: Autarky uses high-quality ingredients without any artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
Hypoallergenic Recipes: All diets are formulated to be wheat-gluten and soya-free, reducing the risk of common digestive upsets and skin irritations.
Natural Antioxidant Package: They include a blend of natural antioxidants to help "mop up" free radicals produced during heavy exercise, supporting the immune system.
Digestive Support: Recipes often contain prebiotics (like MOS) and Yucca Schidigera to support a healthy gut microbiome and reduce stool odor. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Specialized Features
The brand is specialized because it targets specific physiological needs of active dogs: [1, 2]
Joint Care Package: Most specialized ranges (especially Grain-Free and Mature) include a symbiotic blend of olive extract, green-lipped mussel, marine algae, and glucosamine for superior mobility support.
Tailored Energy Release: For example, the Turkey & Potato recipe uses slow-release carbohydrates from potatoes to keep energy levels stable throughout a long working day.
Life-Stage Specificity:
Puppy/Junior: Balanced for steady growth with DHA for brain development.
Mature Lite: Lower in calories for older working dogs but packed with extra joint support.
Working Dog Heritage: Formulated by leading British canine nutritionists and produced in specialist mills, it is specifically designed for high performance rather than just sedentary 'pet' lifestyles.

Healthy cat food is based on the fact that cats are obligate carnivores. Their bodies are specifically designed to derive energy and nutrients from animal sources.
A balanced diet includes:High-Quality Animal Protein:
Meat or fish should be the main ingredient.
Proteins are essential for muscles, organs, and a healthy coat.
Taurine: This is a vital amino acid that cats cannot produce themselves. A deficiency can lead to blindness and heart problems.
Moisture (Wet Food): Cats naturally have a low thirst drive. Wet food helps maintain hydration and prevents kidney and bladder issues.
Healthy Fats: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids for a healthy skin and to reduce inflammation.
Low Carbohydrates: Cats have very little need for sugars or grains. Too many carbs can lead to obesity and diabetes.
Here is the additional information about grain-free nutrition and the specific approach of BF Petfood for cats:
Grain-Free Food: Is it the best choice?For many cats, grain-free food is an excellent choice, but it is not a 'must' unless there is a specific allergy.
The Advantage: It better mimics the natural diet of a wild cat (mice, birds), as these prey animals contain almost no carbohydrates.
Digestion: Cats lack the enzyme (amylase) in their saliva to break down large amounts of starch. Grain-free food often prevents bloating and soft stools.
Weight Control: Many grain-free options replace grains with higher-quality meat, which helps prevent diabetes and obesity.
Why choose BF Petfood for your cat?
BF Petfood (Biofood) applies their "natural" philosophy to cat food with a focus on three key points:
High Meat Content: Their products (such as the High Energy or 3-in-1 lines) use chicken, beef, or fish as the main ingredient, providing the essential animal proteins cats need.
Urinary Tract Support: Cats are prone to bladder stones (struvite). BF Petfood adds ingredients that help regulate the pH value of the urine (acidification), which helps prevent the formation of crystals.Natural Extras:Salmon Oil: For a shiny coat and fewer hairballs.Taurine: Always added in the correct amount for a healthy heart and sharp vision.
Prebiotics: Such as inulin, to keep the cat's intestinal flora healthy.RecommendationFor the sensitive cat: Choose BF Petfood No Grain. This is based on fish and chicken and is completely free of wheat and corn.For the indoor cat: The 3-in-1 variant is ideal; it helps prevent hairballs, supports the urinary tract, and helps keep weight stable.
