Products
The company began production of its first All in One diet in 2000 with the aim of producing a complete, 100% natural alternative to home prepared diets including the BARF diet. Since then, The Natural Dog Food Company has continued to develop its range of dry foods to include three varieties for adult dogs, two puppy foods and a senior/light diet. In 2010 several new complete food varieties were trialed including a large bite variety and an active formula. The company also produces its own range of 'Hearties' dog treats.
Ingredients
The Natural Dog Food Company emphasizes the fact that it contains 100% natural ingredients[1]. The company's primary USP is the inclusion of only natural vitamins through the use of a herbal premix. Natural vitamins are widely believed to be nutritionally superior to their synthetic counterparts[2] which are extensively used in conventional pet foods[3].
Other ingredients include British chicken, lamb, turkey and salmon, whole brown rice, whole barley, whole oats, various vegetables, whole linseed, sugar beet, brewer's yeast and seaweed. The company does not use animal by-products or ingredients like corn, wheat, soy or dairy products which have been linked to food allergies and intolerances in dogs[4].
Name Changes
In 2011, the brand name 'All in One' is scheduled to be dropped in favour of the 'Natural Dog Food Company' brand. At the same time 'Hearties' treats will be renamed 'Natural Dog Food Company Treats'.
