A Great Dane has a lower fat percentage and a relatively larger skin surface area than other dogs. Because of this, Great Danes need approximately 80% more energy than other dogs of the same weight. To calculate the recommended daily amount of food for Great Danes, find the weight of your dog in the food table and multiply the feeding advice with 1.8.
TROVET does not have dietary food for nervous dogs.
For petfood producers it is allowed to categorise the raw materials in the ingredient list. A layman sees this as a way to process low-grade raw materials in the food, without having to explicitly mention them in the ingredient list. The category that is misgiven the most is ‘meat and animal by-products (or derivatives)’. False information in different media conditions pet owners into believing that this category includes all possible by-products from the meat processing industry. This misconception is partly created due the use of the word ‘offal’ to describe this category. The definitions of offal: 1: ‘the waste or by-product of a process’, 2: ‘the organs (such as the liver or kidney) of an animal that are used for food’. The double definition of this term causes extra confusion about what is actually going into dog and cat food.
Offal (waste) can describe a very wide variety of products. With this fact and the multiple definitions of this term, an opponent to the petfood industry can easily use the word to their advantage. Furthermore, what a person perceives as actual waste is very subjective. In some cultures, headcheese (pig’s head meat) is seen as a very tasty product. But in most countries you will not find pig heads in the supermarket’s refrigerator. Foie gras (baked goose liver) is a popular delicatessen in France, but in other countries people do not even stand the thought of eating liver. Esthetical and antipathetic reasons stop people in western countries from eating organ meat. All the meat products that are not eaten by the average consumer are seen as slaughter waste. So the major part of the organ meat coming from slaughter houses does not end up at the butcher’s shop, but will be processed into petfood. The correct terms for these products are: animal by-products or animal derivatives. The real slaughter waste is processed into biodiesel.
K-citrate (potassium citrate) helps to buffer the acidity of blood, which occurs in a lot of animals with a reduced kidney function. Citrate is able to bind to calcium, which prevents oxalate binding to calcium in the urine.
Yes, that is possible!

No. The dietary recommendations on the vast majority of our foods are based on the average energy requirements of a healthy adult pet. To calculate the daily feeding advice for your older dog or cat, multiply the number in the feeding advice table by 0.85. It is recommended to keep track of the weight and BCS (Body Condition Score) of your pet.
Urinary Calm is a dry food for adult cats, to promote calmness.

TROVET has no dietary food for nervous dogs.
When the packaging is opened, oxygen will mix with the food, resulting in a reduction of taste and scent. The speed with which the taste and scent reduce is dependent on the preservation circumstances. Always keep an opened packaging in a cool, dark and dry place.
To keep the food fresh as long as possible, TROVET advises to take out portions for a few days and keep this in a container. The packaging will only be opened once or twice a week, which minimises the amount of oxygen that can enter the packaging.
Shelf life
It is not possible to give an exact period for how long the food can be preserved after opening the packaging. TROVET advises you to empty one bag in 1.5 to 2 months. TROVET does not guarantee a long preservation time after opening and there is the possibility of spoiling.
For wet food: when the packaging has been opened, the product can be stored in the refrigerator up till two days. It is also possible to divide in daily portions and put these in the freezer. Do not freeze it in the original packaging, due to expansion of the product.
The potency of food components (for example vitamins), as well as the scent and taste of the food in unopened packaging, is guaranteed by TROVET up until the expiration date, which is stated on the packaging. It is not recommended to feed food that is past the given expiration date.
Combining of mixing of two different diets with different indications can influence the optimal functioning of both diets. Always consult your veterinarian beforehand.
