What is raw feeding?

Raw feeding involves, as the name suggests, feeding your dog on a raw food-based diet of its ancestors as wild carnivores. It consists of fresh meat, innards, vegetables and vitamin and mineral supplements, designed to imitate as much as possible the natural prey of dogs in the wild. However, for most dog owners this can be time consuming and comes with risks that owners need to consider, including appropriate storage of raw meat and ensuring their dog’s diet is fully balanced.

What is wet BARF?

Foods, such as our Fleischeslust recipes, which follow BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Feeding) principles but in a shelf stable, wet food format. These foods are suitable for all owners who value balanced, healthy ingredients and gentle production when considering what to feed their pet. Feeding dogs wet BARF is species-appropriate, natural and digestible.

Why choose Fleischeslust?

Fleischeslust recipes are a perfect alternative to raw feeding and all materials used in the recipes are 100% natural and high quality from small, local suppliers. The ingredients are fresh and processed from human food production. Fleischeslust’s focus is on producing food slowly and carefully at low temperature and low pressure, to ensure valuable vitamins and nutrients are retained in the process. Fleischeslust is opposed to the pre-treatment of animal products and ensures that no synthetic preservatives are added.

The gentle cooking process ensures that all important nutrients are retained and comes with the added hygiene benefit to both humans and dogs as it ensures germs are killed that always pose a risk with raw BARF. This cooking process makes meat and innards more digestible and tastier. Dogs with sensitive digestion, and those with food intolerances, can benefit from pure meat and single protein recipes. Some dogs dislike raw BARF, so the cooked version can be more appealing to those that are fussier when it comes to their food bowl.

What ranges do Fleischeslust offer?

Fleischeslust Classic, Sensitive, and Hypoallergenic sausages offer a balanced and complete diet with 80% meat or fish and innards, alongside 20% plant-based ingredients such as fruit and vegetables. Apples, carrots, zucchini, or sweet potatoes feature in the recipes.

Alternatively, for owners who like to customise their dog’s diet, Fleischeslust’s complementary Steakhouse range includes recipes of pure meat and innards that are gently cooked and ensure a natural taste with the best nutrients. These also make a great alternative for exclusion diets by offering single-source protein recipes, Pure Poultry, Pure Game, Pure Duck, Pure Buffalo, and Pure Goat.

Congratulations and best of luck to Carnilove Ambassador, Red Labrador, Brae and his owner trainer Laura Hill on becoming Field Trial Champions.  

Exceeding expectations and despite treacherous weather on a moor in Northumberland, Brae won two two-day open stakes in October. Achieving Field Trial Champion at two years old is quite a feat and it means he has qualified for the 2023 Championship in Scotland.  

Brae has been fed Carnilove True Fresh since he was a pup and is clearly thriving on the quality grain-free kibble made from fresh meat. The Championship takes place from 27th to 29th November at Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries & Galloway. We wish them both the very best of luck and will be crossing our paws for more success.

Proactive Health Monitoring Cat Litter Alerts Owners to Diabetes and Urinary Diseases

 Reigate, UK – BSB Products, the UK distributor for Intersand cat litter, today introduces OdourLock® maxCare™, an ultra-premium cat litter that helps to alert cat owners to common health conditions such as diabetes and urinary diseases. OdourLock® maxCare™ contains health diagnostic Blücare® granules that turn from white to blue at the first sign of blood or glucose in urine.

Urinary diseases and diabetes are among the top reasons for veterinary consultations for cats. Diabetes is three times more common in cats than dogs. It usually occurs in older cats (aged 7 and above), particularly those who are overweight*. The good news is that diabetes is reversible and can be treated and cured when treated early and monitored closely.

OdourLock® maxCare™ provides an early warning of problems so cat owners can consult with their veterinary professional before the disease progresses and introduce medication and manage the disease more effectively. Each 12kg bag of OdourLock® maxCare™ comes with a sachet of Blücare® granules and a QR code link to the OdourLock website.

Following the instructions on the website, owners should fill their litter tray with OdourLock® maxCare™ and then sprinkle the granules evenly over the surface of the litter. Once the cat has used the litter, owners should remove the clumps as normal and inspect for any sign of blue granules.

Evidence of the granules having turned dark blue is a signal for owners to visit a veterinary professional. The granules can detect glucose and blood at the very first trace, even when invisible to the naked eye. A visual guide on the website will help customers determine the results. OdourLock® maxCare™ is not a replacement for proper veterinary care. It is a diagnostic aid so users should always seek professional advice to confirm diagnosis and receive treatment.

Colin Rodger, MD of BSB Products, said: “OdourLock® maxCare™ is an exciting product that can help keep cats healthy by acting as an early warning system for common diseases such as diabetes and urinary disease. It’s a simple, reliable, non-invasive way every cat owner can look after their cat and save costs on veterinary fees and medication.”

Patented Blücare® granules have been developed in Intersand’s laboratory in Canada and rigorously tested by veterinarians for accuracy, safety and effectiveness.

OdourLock® maxCare™ has the following additional benefits:

• Blocks ammonia – Technology activated on contact with urine to neutralize odour development for over 40 days*.
• Extra hard clumping – Rapid absorption and formation of smaller, stronger agglomerates to facilitate daily cleaning and maintenance.
• Dust-free – Respects human and cat respiratory tracts.
• No Tracking – Fast, easy cleaning, ideal for multi-cat environments.

Research reveals that dog owners do 86% more hours of exercise and cover 75% more miles in distance in a week

Reigate, UK – BSB Products, the UK distributor for Carnilove dog & cat foods, today reveals research that Dog owners do 86% more hours of exercise per week and go 75.5% further in distance (Opinion Matters for Carnilove 2023). They do nearly two more hours of exercise per week than non-dog owners and travel seven more miles per week in distance than non-dog owners. Over the course of the year it’s 93 more hours and 364 more miles.

Exercising with your dog in the countryside is great for both mind and body for humans and dogs. Dog owners look after themselves as well as their dog when they exercise together. Getting out to the park or countryside allows you to switch off and be in the moment – it’s a chance to exercise, relax and bond with your dog.

But the Royal Veterinary College reports that 1 in 14 dogs are recorded as overweight each year (RVC 2021) and 25.9% of adults aged 18 or over in the UK live with obesity and 63.8% are classified as overweight (Gov.uk 2021-22). The risks of obesity for both humans and dogs include heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer.

To get Britain moving and to raise awareness of the benefits to physical and mental health pet food brand, Carnilove is working with SAS hero Billy Billingham to get more people out on adventures with their canine companions.

Billy Billingham said, “I’m best known for testing people to their limits and putting them through their paces but regular exercise is also essential for dogs – it keeps them physically and mentally healthy. Fit, active dogs are much less likely to suffer from problems such as obesity and behavioural issues. I love to exercise with my bulldog Alfie, he makes adventuring into the countryside twice as enjoyable.”

Colin Rodger, CEO of BSB Products that distributes Carnilove in the UK said, “Our research demonstrates the great benefits to our health that dogs can bring, they provide so much joy and rewarding them with interesting walks should be a key part of caring for them. It’s also vital not to forget their nutrition and hydration needs as well as your own. Carnilove has a diet for every dog, made from meats that their ancestors would have enjoyed in the wild with high meat content, vegetables and forest fruits for essential vitamins and fibre and no grains, potato or artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.”

Billy Billingham continued. “I hope Alfie and I can inspire dog owners to keep up the good work, get out and about every day, and go a little bit further and I hope it encourages non dog owners to exercise more regularly. It really is the secret to good health.”

We are pleased to announce that Carnilove True Fresh won the New Product Award for Dog Food Products at this year’s PATS trade show.

PATS is the UK’s No.1 Pet Industry Exhibition which takes place twice a year, at Sandown in March and Telford in September. The winners of the new product awards are chosen by a team of expert pet retailers. Their decisions took into account a number of guideline criteria such as product innovation, design, quality, packaging, value for money and sustainability.

Judges said: “It’s a great to see a potato-free dog food with excellent ingredients. This product comes in attractive packaging at a good price point.”

The judges agreed that the New Product Showcase had produced a high calibre of entries with a tremendous amount of innovation. They were pleased to see such a wide range of products in the eight categories

Colin Rodger, Managing Director of BSB Products, the exclusive importer and distributor of Carnilove products in the UK, said ‘While traditionally the main advantage provided by dry dog food was convenience, over time dog owners have come to take a genuine interest in the quality of the ingredients and the palatability as well. Carnilove’s True Fresh food, made with fresh meat, ticks all the boxes’

These exciting new recipes from Carnilove are made possible thanks to innovative production methods producing pet foods from fresh meat. Gentle processing of the ingredients preserves the natural nutritional properties of the meat and ensures up to 70% greater palatability than ordinary dog foods.
