Theory, history and projections on animal nutrition

At Petdesign: Petfood (dog raw food , kibble, raw food and other high-end foods) + food supplements (skin, coat, age, joints, etc.) + treats = animals that look good and are comfortable in their paws.

It all starts with high-quality ingredients. Here is one of the pillars of our approach to nutrition: cats and the dogs They are carnivores and must be fed as such. Our range of food products includes specialty products with ultra-targeted properties and products designed to meet the needs of different life stages, breed sizes, specific sensitivities, and activity levels.

Knowledge of the specific nutritional needs of each breed have brought us closer to exceptional partners, committed to creating the best products of Petfood that they may be.

The nutritional approach to PetDesign.fr is simple: feed the dogs and the cats as nature would do.

Our vision for the evolution of pet nutrition:

While the 20th century was marked by a massive shift from a traditional diet (comparable to that of humans, with varying ratios between different food groups) to a mass-produced industrial diet, this was not without consequences! Indeed, our dogs and cats, traditionally companions on rural farms, inevitably consumed the family's leftovers. With the advent of industrially prepared pet food—dry kibble and wet food, but always cooked—and driven by drastic economic constraints, the quality of the food given to them has significantly deteriorated, or at the very least, been standardized to a lower standard.

It wasn't until almost the last decade of the 20th century that public opinion, and the companies with a near-monopoly on the market, truly focused on improving the quality of daily pet food portions. Today, food composition labels are scrutinized and shared on forums and social media, creating lively debates and particularly well-considered opinions. No one can be unaware of what they're feeding their dog or cat, provided they do a little research... But Google is our friend, so... I dare say that no one can remain ignorant these days.

Several particularly interesting trends are emerging from this collective awareness, and major currents of thought are taking shape! Let's take advantage of them!

For those who want feed like nature As was done in the past, there is of course the 100% raw option: BARF = B.A.R.F The acronym stands for "Biologically Appropriate Raw Food." For those less radical, raw food is a particularly attractive alternative. On this site, we'll explain the main principles and give you the keys to this type of food, which is currently very trendy. For us, the future of dog and cat nutrition lies in these two terms!

As for dog kibble like this, Low Grain & Grain-free products are filling the shelves, both in pet shops and supermarkets, as well as online. As the most premium segment of the pet food market, these kibbles, containing little or no grain, represent a stark contrast to the prevailing economic principles of the pet food industry, which relegated meat to an ever-smaller share.To put it bluntly, the most sarcastic among us even compared the major brands of pet food to bird and poultry feed, so much had cereals overtaken meat products! How absurd!

At PetDesign, we will always remain attentive to market developments, in order to bring you the most ethical solutions possible!
