Feeding sensitive dogs that are intolerant to certain foods or have allergies poses special challenges in respect of the composition of the food. According to bosch, it is therefore important to select protein sources with which the dog has not previously come into contact. It is also important to replace grain products with carbohydrate sources. Bosch has thus added four potato-based products (grain-free) to its range, each with one animal protein source: Plus Turkey & Potato (with at least 20 per cent turkey), Trout & Potato, and Ostrich & Potato. The new product Soft Aylesbury Duck & Potato is produced with at least 60 per cent duck, with a residual moisture content of 18 per cent as a semi-moist food. It likewise contains only one source of animal protein and no grain. The products are sold in 1 kg, 2.5 kg and 12.5 kg packs.

Bewital is the first dog food manufacturer in Germany to have its product Bewi Dog certified at TÜV Rhineland. The testing covers nutrients, declarations and possible harmful substances.
