Bof – new in pet food
The principle of Behavioral Optimizing Foods (BOF) is to use the benefits of regulating and stabilizing blood sugar levels. We have achieved just that – our ESSENTIAL FOODS feed has changed the lives of several animals and earned awards and recognition. BOF ensures the stability of your dog’s sugar level throughout the day. Our high fresh meat content and low cooking temperatures ensure that your dog receives an excellent amount of nutrients compared to consumer dog food. Using BOF principles in cooking shows positive results. Using ESSENTIALS in your dog’s diet will positively affect your dog’s emotional balance. In some cases the changes are drastic, in some not so much, but there is always an improvement.
