At HelloBello, we have deliberately chosen a meat content of 40 to 45% based on the most modern veterinary standards.
We'll explain with complete transparency here why this is the healthiest choice for your dog:
1. Dogs are carnivorous omnivores (Carni-Omnivore)
Dogs descend from wolves, but over more than 15,000 years of domestication they have adapted to living alongside humans – including genetically! The canine digestive tract is designed to break down starchy carbohydrates and plant-based nutrients very well. Biologically speaking, the dog is a so-called Carni-Omnivore (meat and omnivore). A diet consisting almost entirely of meat ignores the evolutionary development of our domestic dogs.
2. Quality beats quantity (The secret behind our protein values)
Meat content is not the same as meat content. We don't use hard-to-digest animal by-products that provide little usable protein. We rely on 40 to 45% genuine premium muscle meat and selected, extremely nutrient-rich offal (such as lung and kidney as natural vitamin bombs). As a result, our meals deliver high protein values that are, above all, highly digestible. Your dog therefore gets premium protein that the body can truly use.
3. Too much meat strains the organs
A very meat-heavy food always also means a massive surplus of protein and phosphorus. The dog's body has to laboriously break down this oversupply, which over the long term can put the kidneys and liver under strain. Our moderate meat content protects your dog's organs and is ideal for healthy, lifelong feeding – from puppyhood into advanced senior age.
4. The power of plant-based ingredients
For healthy digestion, a dog absolutely needs dietary fiber. Without plant fibers from vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, peas and pumpkin, the microbiome (the good gut bacteria) in the dog's intestines withers away. This often leads to bloating, diarrhea and a weakened immune system.
In short: we don't feed wolves in the wild, we feed family members on the sofa. With HelloBello, you get scientifically grounded, optimally balanced meals for a long, healthy life with your dog.
