What sets us apart from the competition
Our biggest strength? No added sugars
Gluconeogenesis is the process by which dogs produce their own glucose (sugar) from non-carbohydrate sources such as amino acids, fat components and lactate. It is part of their metabolic flexibility: the body's ability to switch efficiently between different energy sources.
This process takes place mainly in the liver and helps keep blood sugar stable, so the body and brain are supplied with enough fuel. The advantage is that no added sugars end up in the gut.
Goat milk naturally contains carbohydrates, such as lactose and oligosaccharides. These natural carbohydrates can provide energy or contribute to the natural balance of the gut microbiome.
That is why we deliberately choose not to add any extra sugars to our product: from a nutritional point of view, they are not needed to supply a dog with glucose.
Possible long-term drawbacks of added sugars
- Effects on the composition and activity of the gut microbiome, associated with changes in fermentation processes, gas formation (bloating), gut health (digestion) and increased inflammatory responses.
- Increased inflammatory sensitivity can negatively affect recovery after training, physical strain and injuries, because recovery processes become less efficient.
- Excessive consumption of sugary food can contribute to weight gain, plaque formation (a major risk factor for dental problems) and extra strain on blood-sugar regulation. This can adversely affect the dog's overall health.
The power of whole goat milk powder
Helps maintain optimal hydration. This is especially important because dogs regulate their body temperature by panting and by releasing heat through the skin. During exertion and in warm conditions, the body loses fluid continuously. When this is not sufficiently replenished, blood plasma volume drops. The blood becomes thicker and flows less easily. As a result, it becomes harder to transport enough blood to both the muscles and the skin, and the strain on the heart and circulation increases.
Reduced blood flow to the muscles can limit the supply of oxygen and nutrients and slow the removal of waste products such as lactic acid. The muscles can then acidify and tire more quickly, and both endurance and muscle strength decline.
Electrolytes play an important role in nerve signal transmission, the contraction and relaxation of muscles, and maintaining the fluid balance around the cells. With insufficient hydration, the electrolyte balance can be disturbed, so muscles work less efficiently and problems such as cramps, tremors or muscle weakness can arise. Nerve control, and with it coordination and movement control, can also be affected.
A lower plasma volume also means less efficient heat dissipation. On top of that, the muscles and the skin compete for the same limited blood supply. Core temperature rises, and with it the risk of overheating.
- The fat content includes a significant share of MCT fats (medium-chain triglycerides) that are easily digestible. MCTs are rapidly absorbed and metabolised, providing a fast and efficient source of energy. Ideal during periods of activity or recovery.
- High-quality proteins, including A2 casein, with a high content of essential amino acids, such as BCAAs, that support muscle building and recovery, deliver energy during exertion and promote recuperation.
- A unique combination of easily digestible proteins and prebiotic oligosaccharides that supports digestion. These proteins are more digestible and less allergenic than cow milk, contributing to good digestive comfort. The prebiotic oligosaccharides feed the beneficial gut bacteria, promote optimal gut health and support overall well-being.
- Contains essential vitamins and minerals that support the immune system, contribute to strong bones and an efficient energy metabolism.
- 100% gluten-free: no grain-derived ingredients in the formulation, suitable for dogs with grain or gluten sensitivities.
Goat milk powder is designed to support the health and performance of your dog and is a valuable supplement to their diet. However, it does not replace a complete and balanced meal. Always make sure your dog receives a healthy, balanced diet that fits their age, size and activity level.
Mix one scoop (30 g) of the product with 500 ml of fresh water and shake well until fully dissolved. The recommended daily amount is 200 ml per 5 kg of dog. It's best to spread the daily amount across the day or around training moments. We do not recommend giving the full amount at once. Always serve the mixture fresh, refrigerate after preparation and use within 2 days. For nursing bitches the dosage can be increased to 60 g per 500 ml of water to meet their higher nutritional needs.
For optimal results we recommend giving the product both before and after exertion to support good hydration and recovery. Give only a small portion of the recommended amount 30 minutes before exertion to avoid an overly full stomach. Store the powder in a cool, dry place.
