Rich in fat

In dog nutrition, when the term "high in fat" is used, it means that the food or ingredient contains a high proportion of fats. Fats are an important source of energy for dogs and provide more than twice as much energy per gram as proteins or carbohydrates.

Fats are not only important for energy, but also for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), supporting cell structure and promoting healthy skin and a shiny coat.

However, a high fat content can also mean that the food is high in calories, which can lead to obesity if the dog does not get enough exercise. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the right amount and ratio of fats in the diet to ensure your dog stays healthy and fit.
