Switching to Naturo

Thank you for choosing Naturo for your pet, sampling may not always be possible however, if you are interested please contact us on customercare@naturopetfoods.com and our team will be in touch. 

Due to nutritional deficits in low-quality pet foods pets may be more likely to develop health problems.,  Feeding your pet a high-quality food, such as Naturo, will help reduce that risk keeping your pet healthy throughout its life.

To switch from a different brand of pet food to Naturo, gradually introduce Naturo over a 3-7 day period. You should do this by increasing the amount of Naturo whilst reducing the amount of your pet's old diet at each mealtime until you are feeding only Naturo.

The choice is up to you entirely! The first time you need to consider is if your pet has any allergies to grain, gluten, or other ingredients. If your pet has an allergy to Grain, we recommend our Grain Free range however there are many benefits to our With Rice range as well. 

Please check the Naturo Feeding Guide to see the recommended daily amount.

Our Recipes

Naturo's Wet Dog and Cat Food have a unique cooking process. Less cooking time is required, therefore, protecting the goodness of our ingredients. This process could be compared to steam cooking. This is how we keep all our food completely natural and preservative-free whilst maintaining a long shelf life.

We work closely with all our suppliers,  and we keep a close eye on what ingredients we receive. If they do not meet our requirements, we simply will not accept them. The majority of our supply is locally sourced, where possible. All products used are fit for human consumption and can be traced back to the source. 

As with humans, vegetables provide essential natural fibre to promote healthy digestion and boost energy levels. You can see the specific ingredient benefit for every fruit, vegetable, grain, and meat we use here.

Alongside our products all having a high meat content, they are also packed full of other ingredients that benefit your four-legged friend, as well as added vitamins and minerals. You can see our full Ingredient List here. The remainder of the product is made up of water, it makes the food juicier and naturally appealing for your pet and is also an excellent source of hydration.

Kelp is a seaweed which provides a natural source of fibre and has concentrated sources of minerals, including potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and iodine.

As with humans, vegetables provide essential natural fibre to promote healthy digestion and boost energy levels. You can see the specific ingredient benefit for every fruit, vegetable, grain, and meat we use here.

Naturo is a natural Grain Free Cat Food. Our Cat Food also contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and is 100% natural.

There are no added sugars in the Naturo range. We use the best quality natural ingredients with no added colours, flavours or preservatives.

Taurine is important for cat's eyesight, heart function, bile formation, and reproduction.

Health Concerns

Naturo has a range of Grain Free Dog Food, and our Cat Food range is Grain Free as well. Our recipes containing rice are also Gluten Free as rice, in all forms, does not contain gluten.

Our Naturo Grain Free range is developed for Dogs with more digestive or allergy sensitives. We would suggest feeding alternative proteins such as Fish, Turkey or Duck as well as Chicken, as this may be more hypoallergenic than choosing to feed Chicken alone.

We currently offer a low fat Wet Dog Food; Light Chicken with Rice and Vegetables. This has 40% less fat. You can find it here

Naturo is a hypoallergenic, 100% natural dog and cat food. Our recipes are made with natural ingredients without artificial colours, flavourings, or preservatives. For these reasons, Naturo is a good choice if your dog or cat has a sensitive stomach. However, if your pet is allergic to a particular ingredient, specified by your vet, you should check the full list of ingredients of each product to before purchasing or feeding. Our Grain Free and Grain & Gluten Free ranges were made with allergy sensitive dogs in mind.

It is of course best to feed the best life stage diet possible, and our Puppy Food is better for the growing dog due to the increased protein we have in our Puppy recipe. We would expect no adverse consequence from the inadvertent use of a diet designed for an Adult dog. If there is any doubt about your pup being well, please contact your vet and have your dog examined for any signs of ill health. Better safe than sorry!

In our Puppy food, the protein is higher, and the vitamins and minerals added are also different from the Adult recipe to compensate for higher levels required for growing and developing dogs. If you wish to feed our Adult range to your puppy, we advise consulting your trusted vet first for their expert medical opinion.

Absolutely. The standard advice for weaning is to use a quality digestible food formulated for the early growth period, which in dogs is massively accelerated compared to that in babies. The Naturo Puppy food has all the growing pups need.

All Naturo Natural Pet Food products are classed as a complete food because they include all the vitamins and minerals your dog requires to be happy and healthy, including their teeth! This means you don’t have to add anything else to their meal for their teeth unless you prefer to do so.

If your pet suffers from kidney disease, you should always consult and follow the advice of your trusted veterinarian. We have customers that use Naturo as a topper for their prescription food in order to increase the palatability for their pet, but they are doing so on the advice or approval of their vet. Always consult your veterinarian with any medical questions you have about your four-legged friend.

Pancreatitis in dogs can be a painful condition, especially in the period immediately after eating. It is believed that restricting the fat/oil content of the food minimises this post-prandial discomfort. There are fully balanced complete veterinary prescription diets specifically designed for dogs with pancreatitis, but not all dogs will take those readily. It is possible to achieve the low fat requirement using Naturo petfood by aiming for a fat/crude oil level of around 7%. This means diluting Naturo with further carbohydrates such as potato, rice, or pasta. A simple maths calculation will allow the determination of the amount of carbohydrate to add. For example, if the wet food crude fat/oil level is 14% then mixing in carbohydrates at 50:50 will create a safe level. However, you should always consult your veterinarian with any medical concerns you have.

The key to stable diabetic management is to be consistent in quality and timing of feeding (according to the regimen recommended by your own vet).

A digestible quality diet like Naturo with no added sugars will make stabilisation easier and more robust long term. The specific flavour is not important, as long as they will regularly eat it.

Some dogs can be very difficult to encourage appetite-wise, especially at specific times, so the extra palatability of any of the Naturo range should assist in that regard.

Occasionally, dogs need a specific diabetic diet - you need to check with your own vet whether your four-legged family member may be one of the minorities.
