BOF – Behavioral Optimizing Foods
The BOF principle focuses on stabilizing your dog’s blood sugar levels throughout the day. By using high levels of fresh protein and low cooking temperatures, ESSENTIALS ensures that nutritional values are preserved. This leads to better emotional balance, improved energy consistency, and overall physical well-being.
Transitioning to ESSENTIALS
When switching to NAUTICAL LIVING, we recommend a gradual transition over 4–7 days. For the first 2–3 weeks, focus on finding the correct portion size for your individual dog. We suggest starting with a serving 10% smaller than your previous food and adjusting based on the dog’s weight and stool consistency.
Important: Always ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean drinking water.
