What do we actually put in our cats’ and dogs’ bowls?

A true pioneer, in 2000, Almo Nature, driven by the vision of its founder, Pier Giovanni Capellino, became the first company in the world to take a radically different approach to conventional pet food. It launched HFC quality pet food for cats and for dogs made with ingredients from the Human Food Chain.

These recipes contain no meat or fish by products. Instead, they use the same quality of meat and fish intended for human consumption.

Over the years, this approach has been widely adopted across Europe and the United States, helping to create a new category within the pet food sector.

The benefits of HFC ingredients for your pet

Our HFC range uses high quality cuts of meat and fish that are cooked just once during the production process. This helps to preserve the integrity of the muscle tissue and retain the essential nutrients your pet needs.

Choosing HFC ingredients can have a positive impact on your pet’s everyday wellbeing. Meat and fish that are originally fit for human consumption naturally provide high quality amino acids, which are essential for developing healthy muscle mass and maintaining your pet’s vitality.

This quality is also reflected in the flavour. Our recipes are naturally tasty, without the need for chemical flavourings or artificial flavour enhancers.

The proteins provided by HFC ingredients are easier to digest, helping to promote optimal nutrient absorption and contributing to smaller, firmer stools.

Over time, better digestibility can also help to reduce daily metabolic stress on vital organs.

Did you know that more than 70% of your pet’s immune cells are found in its digestive system? A balanced gut flora therefore plays an important role in the proper functioning of its natural defences.

As your pet ages, these well preserved proteins can also help to maintain muscle mass and support healthy joints.

Lasting vitality with HFC nutrition

Choosing HFC ingredients represents a different way of thinking about pet nutrition. It is no longer simply about filling the bowl, but about actively supporting your pet’s wellbeing and vitality.

By replacing highly processed foods with pure, highly bioavailable nutrients, HFC recipes can help to minimise daily digestive stress and allow your pet’s body to make better use of its energy.

The result is a strong nutritional foundation that supports strength, vitality and resilience at every stage of your pet’s life.
