The use of herbs, roots, flowers, plants, and seaweed, among other things, goes back thousands of years. These ingredients support the natural processes in the dog's body, such as digestion. Every ingredient we add to our dog food is carefully selected for its beneficial properties. Depending on the dog's size, breed, or breed group, specific ingredients are highlighted. Breed-specific ailments can be reduced by using herbs, roots, flowers, and plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMechelse herder specific vegetables, herbs and fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWe have carefully examined the breed characteristics of the Belgian Malinois. We have also researched the characteristics of the FCI breed section and the FCI breed group to which the Belgian Malinois belongs. Based on this research, in consultation with leading Dutch nutritionists, we have selected ingredients that optimally benefit the Belgian Malinois' health and well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Glucosamine\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance found in joints, cartilage, synovial fluid, and tendons. It stimulates the production of cartilage and keeps joints supple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Glucosamine is one of the most commonly used supplements for dogs with osteoarthritis and\/or joint problems. This is not only the case for older dogs or overweight dogs, but also increasingly for younger, very active dogs. This can be due, for example, to a hereditary predisposition to joint problems. For these and other reasons, glucosamine is added to our dog food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Thyme\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThyme is a genus in the Lamiaceae family. It includes herbaceous or woody plants with a highly aromatic scent. The Greeks and Romans used thyme as a medicinal herb for lung diseases, rheumatism, paralysis, stomach cramps, tumors, headaches, colic, and nervous deficiencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Thyme's medicinal properties are confirmed by its high vitamin K content. Thyme also contains plenty of iron, as well as the minerals calcium and manganese. It also contains the amino acid tryptophan and a significant amount of fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Thyme has anti-inflammatory and powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Thyme is also a natural antibacterial agent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Apple\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The apple tree is a tree in the Malus genus, which produces the eating apples, particularly common in the Northern Hemisphere. It grows in temperate regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Dietary fiber has a versatile effect in the digestive tract. It absorbs moisture, making stool soft and smooth. Dietary fiber also increases intestinal volume. This not only stimulates intestinal function but also ensures thorough elimination of waste.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eApples are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. They're also rich in pectin. Pectin is a soluble fiber that helps support healthy gut flora. It also contributes to the palatability of the chunks, and apples are low in calories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Rich in vitamins A and C.

It's important to let your dog get used to this for two or three days as well. Finally, mix 75% Yourdog and 25% of the old dog food. Your dog is now almost completely switched to Yourdog. Continue this for two days.
