As you can see from the gorgeous branding, this isn't Benji's dog food! This is a cutting-edge diet for modern dogs. As
people take strides to maintain optimum health, they are looking to
provide
those same options to their pets. It's all about enjoy a quality, long life
together. WOMAN.ca is a big fan of Natural
Defense Brand range of dry food and healthy snacks prepared with
some of nature's most beneficial extracts, scientifically
proven to support a dog's well being. Marigold,
green-lipped mussels, flaxseed and green tea all well known ingredients
to aid in your physical
well being, so why not your beloved pet?
Recently launched, Natural Defense is the latest development
in canine nutrition that features some of nature's most beneficial
ingredients and extracts scientifically proven to support the well being in
five key areas for dogsimmune system, joint health, digestive system,
oral health, and skin and coat health.
Developed by an expert team of veterinarians and pet nutritionists and manufactured in Canada, the entire Natural Defense product line features a variety of natural extracts plus vitamins, minerals and other trace nutrients to give your dog's diet a boost. Free of artificial colours or flavours, Natural Defense products come in an adult dry formula as well as in three healthy snack varieties which, when fed regularly, provide an added level of defense to a dog's oral, digestive and joint health.
With the Natural Defense brand we have provided dog owners with a scientifically-proven, natural approach to proactively support their pet's well-being and overall health, said Sandra Hinojosa, product development manager, Mars Canada. One example of improvement we saw during our initial trials were dogs that had regained their playfulness and energy levels after six weeks of daily feeding of Natural Defense Joint Health snacks and were once again able to undertake normal activities like running, jumping and climbing stairs.
Key areas of health for dogs
The development
of the Natural Defense brand addresses the growing consumer
demand for pet food that features natural extracts scientifically proven to
proactively support the areas of health that are of primary concern to dog
owners.
As many of us strive to remain fit and active as we age, we are also looking to ensure our pets will age gracefully with us, so they can enjoy as much as possible, the vitality and vigour they had as puppies throughout their life said Hinojosa. As with humans, there has been a significant movement from reactive to a proactive approach to promote pet health and wellbeing. By feeding products like those in the Natural Defense product line-up, we can take a proactive approach to our pet's health with products that leverage science and nature to help protect them.
Natural Defense premium dry dog food and healthy snacks leverage some of the most well-known and documented ingredients to help aid in dog well-being and quality of life in key areas:
Immune Health - Marigold extract, vitamins E & C and taurine provide an added level of defense against everyday challenges to the immune system
· Marigold has been valued for centuries as a powerful antioxidant that also supports eye health
· Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant to help boost immune function and enhance iron absorption
· Vitamin E, an immune enhancing antioxidant, helps protect the skin
· Taurine,
known for its antioxidant activity, helps stabilize cell membranes
Joint Health - Omega 3 from flax seed plus glucosamine, a natural component derived from shrimp shells, supports fundamental joint care protection
· Omega 3 helps preserve joint lubrication by protecting the synovial fluid and membranes which provide a cushion-like protection to joints
· Glucosamine is a key building block for joints
Digestive health - Whole wheat, barley and sugar beet pulp promote optimal digestive health
· Whole grains and fibers are a great source of carbohydrates, which provides energy needed for dogs to be active
· The combination of grains and fibres in Natural Defense Premium Dry Food provides dogs with an optimal balance of soluble and insoluble fiber to promote proper digestion and help protect their health
Oral Health - Myrtle leaf and green tea extract are natural botanicals that help support oral health
· Myrtle is proven to help manage bacteria associated with plaque formation which promotes healthy gums
· Green tea helps promote fresh breath
For years, we've educated humans on foods that have a beneficial effect on health, and how eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods can support overall health and wellness, said Amy Snider-Whitson, a food and nutrition trend expert. It comes as no surprise that we're seeing these same natural extracts, such as flaxseed, barley, vegetable oils and green tea, benefiting dogs in a similar way and helping owners proactively promote protection for life.

Are you kidding me???? Ingredients are disgusting to anyone that knows a thing about dog food. Natural Defenses should be shut down for lying to the public.
