The importance of animal protein for skin and fur

To maintain the health of the coat and skin, it is essential that the dog receives a diet rich in essential nutrients such as protein, fat, vitamins, minerals (especially zinc and copper) and fatty acids. About 30-35% of the daily protein intake is needed to keep the coat and skin in good condition. Proteins such as chicken, lamb, fish and eggs provide the necessary amino acids that support healthy structure and function.

Animal protein vs. vegetable protein

Animal protein contains all the essential amino acids in the right proportions, making it a complete source of protein for pets. Vegetable protein, found in legumes and cereals, often lacks some essential amino acids and needs to be combined with other protein sources to be complete. In addition, vegetable protein can be more difficult for pets to absorb, which can affect the efficiency of nutrient uptake.

This is what amino acids look like:

‍Omega-6and omega-3‍

Omega-6 and omega-3 are two important groups of fatty acids and are necessary for the maintenance of skin and coat and proper membrane structure. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish and certain plants, such as flax, and have been shown to be important for blood clotting and reducing inflammation, among other things.

Including omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids helps to provide optimal skin and coat condition in dogs. Monster's food contains an optimal balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.
