Product performances are measured through nutrient digestibility, faecal quality, pet acceptance, nutritional adequacy studies:

• Digestibility = Nutrient Intake – Nutrient Output (Faeces)

Nutrient Intake

- Digestibility is the part of the food that is digested and absorbed Digestibility is investigated for dry matter, protein, fat and energy

- High digestibility may be claimed if the digestibility of dry matter is more than 80%

Factors affecting digestibility:• Ingredient quality and processing

• Diet processing conditions

• High digestibility means less stool to clean up

• As digestibility increases, more nutrients will be absorbed and available for use by the body

• Digestibility will also vary with breeds and age

How does PRO PLAN protects your dog’s health?

PRO PLAN guarantees that this protein is the best quality available, derived primarily from real meat such as beef; and fresh chicken, and combined in appropriate ratios with selected vegetable protein such as wheat or corn.
