Rich in milk proteins

When an ingredient in dog food is described as "rich in milk proteins", it means that this ingredient contains a high concentration of proteins derived from milk. Milk proteins are valuable nutrients that contain various amino acids, which are essential for your dog's health and growth. Among other things, they support the development and maintenance of muscle tissue, promote a healthy coat and skin, and help to strengthen the immune system.

There are two main types of milk proteins: casein and whey protein (whey). Both have unique nutritional profiles and benefits. Casein coagulates in the stomach and digests more slowly, resulting in a steady release of amino acids. Whey protein, on the other hand, is digested more quickly and provides a fast source of amino acids.

Incorporating ingredients rich in milk proteins into dog food can be particularly beneficial for puppies, active or recovering dogs as they have an increased protein requirement. However, it is important to note that some dogs may be lactose intolerant, making it difficult to digest dairy products. In such cases, dairy protein-rich ingredients should be avoided or only used in consultation with a veterinarian to ensure they won't harm your dog.
