MUSH B.A.R.F. Vaisto® ADULT BROWN Beef-Lamb-Salmon ALL BREEDS FORMULA 800g

MUSH Vaisto® ADULT BROWN Beef-Lamb-Salmon ALL BREEDS FORMULA is a nutritionally complete raw food suitable for all adult dogs, particularly working or agility dogs in need of a higher caloric intake.

Beef is an excellent source of protein, containing all the essential amino acids required by dogs. It has many essential nutrients including high levels of zinc and iron which help maintain stamina and heart health. Beef is rich in the minerals manganese, selenium, and potassium, and in B vitamins that improve the absorption of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.

This menu contains the following beef organ meats: beef tripe, heart and liver, which are dense with essential minerals and vitamins. They are rich sources of probiotics aiding healthy digestion, riboflavin, niacin (Vitamin B3), Vitamin B6, Vitamin D, phosphorus, iron, and zinc.

Lamb is a fine source of protein and a healthy red meat alternative for dogs that may have allergies or intolerances to other traditional red meats. It is rich in Zinc, a mineral that affects many fundamental processes, including that of immune functioning.

This menu contains the following lamb organ meats: lamb lung & liver, both nutrient-rich and a good source of vitamin A – beneficial for eye health and for reducing diseases that cause inflammation such as arthritis. Rich also in folic acid, iron, chromium, copper, and zinc thereby helping stabilise your dog’s metabolic rate and blood sugar levels.

Bones & Cartilage: Ground lamb bones are used to provide minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, while beef and lamb cartilage is added to this menu as a great source of glucosamine.

Salmon is an excellent source of protein, low in saturated fat, rich with omega oils, vitamins, and minerals. It contains copious amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These are the good kinds of fat that your dog’t body appreciates, unlike saturated fats. These healthy fats in salmon lower inflammation, keep cholesterol in check, boost your dog’s heart, brain, and lung function and even benefit their circulation.

Dogs have a highly developed sense of taste and smell and most of them love this menu precisely because of its fishy taste of salmon.

Vegetables provide the raw menus with important fiber, minerals, and vitamins. MUSH uses a mix of leafy greens like broccoli and lettuce, and root vegetables like carrots.

Fruit: High-fiber apples, give each menu the perfect finish by providing it with a complete and balanced nutritional profile.

Oils: Cold pressed sunflower oil and camelina oil are added to help balance the fat profile for Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids in the meal. Sunflower oil is rich in omega-6, an essential fatty acid that must be gotten through food (your dog’s body cannot make it). Omega-6’s help stimulate skin and hair growth, maintain the reproductive system, and promote a healthy immune system. Golden-colored, mildly grassy, camelina oil on the other hand, is loaded with omega-3’s, vitamin E and antioxidants.

All MUSH Vaisto® menus are complete and balanced. They are made of a delicious mix of whole cuts of Finnish meat, organs and bone from three different animal sources, and offer selected vegetables and oils to give your pets optimal nourishment. It is only the composition that varies between each menu: Meat, bones and organs 95%; Vegetables 5%

• As a starting point we suggest you begin at the lower end of our guide (Normal Activity) and adjust accordingly.

The Benefits of a Raw Food Diet

• Healthy skin and coat – Many pets are allergic to grains, which can lead to pathologic skin conditions. A raw natural diet provides allergy relief, reduction and/or eradication.
• Cleaner, whiter and stronger teeth – Many dry foods leave a starchy coating on the teeth, which promotes plaque. Feeding a raw diet maintains healthier teeth and gums as well as fresher breath.
• Stools- Harder, smaller, less smelly stools that are easier to scoop up from the little box or pick up in the garden. Less smelly farts.
• Decreased litter box odor – Many pet foods include protein that is indigestible for cats (and dogs), which leads to an undesirable odor at the litter box.
• Natural weight control – Cats and dogs are healthiest on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet.
• A stronger immune system, more energy and stamina – Pet’s digestive systems are designed to ingest raw meat and are healthiest eating what Nature intended.

Some Changes to Expect:

• After a full transition to a raw diet, pets will typically drink less water. In the wild they get most of their water from their prey. A raw meat diet naturally contains more moisture than dry or canned food, so your cat or dog may be less thirsty, yet be getting plenty of water.
• There will likely be a change in the size, odour, and color of the pet’s faeces. They will stink less! They may also be somewhat harder and dryer and be colored shades of dark and light brown. Much of the crude protein and crude fiber in most commercial dry and canned pet foods is not digestible and hence contributes to a higher stool volume. Along with the assurance of knowing that all the food your beloved pooch or feline is ingesting, is actually being digested, the less stinky poops are certainly a nice bonus!
• Overweight Cats and Dogs tend to lose weight. However, weight loss must be closely monitored. Rapid weight loss can lead to serious health problems. Make sure you transition your pet to a raw diet gradually and seek professional advice, especially when transitioning an animal with chronic health issues.
• Lethargic Pets begin feeling more energised, start to play more and may even exhibit hunting behaviour. Dogs and cats are healthiest when fed a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. When they aren’t experiencing the metabolic highs and lows associated with high carbohydrate intake from grains, typically found in kibble, they will use protein as their energy source, just as they were designed by nature to do. This tends to provide more sustained energy throughout the day and reduces the need to “graze”.
• Allergies tend to clear up, which may be a result of less exposure to potential food allergens. Many pets have allergies to grains that can range from very mild to severe. These allergies can manifest on the skin, can affect digestion, and also contribute to runny eyes & nose and itchy ears or paws. The reduction in allergic symptoms may be a result of not only a reduced exposure to allergens from a higher food quality, but also from a stronger immune system. The more nutritious the food, the stronger the immune system will be.
• Fur becomes incredibly soft and shedding is reduced. This is typically one of the initial benefits observed after changing to a raw diet and is a direct result of better nutrition. The humans in the household also stand to gain a lot as well, when switching their pets to raw, as they are less likely to suffer allergic reactions due to the reduction of dander.
