d'Amigo@ is a Pakistan registered company and manufactures pet food in Gajjumata, Lahore. We have created this brand in response to the ever growing demand for pet food in Pakistan and as a direct competition to imported brands that are currently a major source of all pet foods available in Pakistan.
If you believe your cat or dog is overweight or is otherwise unhealthy, you should consult your veterinarian. If your veterinarian determines your pet is overweight, you may be advised to decrease the amount of food or feed your pet a different type of pet food.
By-products are an important source of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids for your pet. They come from the parts of animals that people do not usually eat.
Dog and cat food is designed to meet the special dietary needs of each species. Cats and dogs should not share food or eat the others food because it will not provide the pet with the appropriate essential nutrients.
Rendering is a process used to reclaim proteins and fats. Rendering is done through cooking ingredients at very high temperatures. The end product is a fine "meal" rich in protein and minerals. Rendered meals are an important source of nutrients for pet food.
The majority of commercial pet food is designed to be your pet's sole source of nutrition. Giving your cat or dog table scraps is not necessary and may cause health problems. For example, many leftovers contain too much sugar, salt and fat which is unhealthy for your pet. Some foods like chocolate for dogs, and onions for cats, can make your pet very sick and should be avoided.
First of all, the price. As it is made in Pakistan we are not having to pay transport and duties and are not affected by foreign exchange rates to get it here. We are also making fresh stock everyday.
Our products are expertly formulated to meet Internationally acceptable standards. Most manufacturers around the world use the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) guidelines to formulate pet foods.
Pet food manufacturers do not include unnecessary ingredients. Every ingredient used in pet food is there for a reason. Diets are formulated by professionals and scientific knowledge and thought is given to each ingredient. Extensive research has gone into formulating pet foods that meet the complex nutritional needs of cats and dogs.
Years of research by food scientists, chemists, pet nutritionists and veterinarians go into the development of commercially-prepared pet food and these foods are manufactured to offer pets the healthiest and safest food possible.
There are several risks associated with homemade pet food. For example, improperly cooked or raw food carries a high risk of bacterial contamination, which can be inadvertently transferred to the human family members in the household.
It is also difficult to regulate the nutrients in homemade food which may mean your pet gets too much or too little in the way of vitamins and minerals. Too much calcium, for example, can result in growth problems, particularly for puppies and kittens, while too little calcium can cause weak bones that are susceptible to breaks.
Guaranteed analysis refers to minimum or maximum nutritional quantities of key nutrients within the package of food. For example, the analysis may include the minimum percentage of protein and fat, and the maximum percentages of fiber and moisture (water). Other nutritional guarantees, such as vitamins and minerals, may be included but are not required.
here are two options for feeding schedules. Some pet owners feed their cats and dogs "free choice", meaning a set amount of food is put out and the pets can eat throughout the day. Alternatively, you can provide a set amount of food at specific meal times during the day. If you are uncertain about how often you should feed your pet, consult with your veterinarian.
Preservatives are used in pet food to keep it fresh and to prevent it from spoiling. The same preservatives are used in food for people and pet food. They are safe and are used in very small quantities.
It is not generally necessary to change your pet's food. Pets like routine, including eating the same food every day. Ifyou need to change their food, perhaps because your veterinarian has recommended a specially formulated food, it is best to change it gradually. Start by mixing some of the new food in with your pet's current food. Over the next three to five days, gradually increase the amount of new pet food and decrease the amount of current food. This process will help your pet adapt to the new food and reduce the likelihood of an upset stomach.
You are requested to keep your pet food in a dry place and at as low a natural temperature as possible. Holding the pet food in an airtight container is preferable in order to maintain its freshness. Our pet food is packed in resealable packaging for the purpose of keeping it in a fresh state.
This is a statement that I was expecting to see at some point. Yes, d'Amigo is cheap(low price). But that does not mean that it's of lower quality.
Why should it be? Because it's Pakistani?
That's not enough of a reason to consider it to be an inferior product.
We are aware that we have a large task in convincing the Pakistani public that d'Amigo@ is a world class product. Eventually, this will be determined over time and with hard work. We accept that and will not be discouraged.
We have a team of experts in animal nutrition that monitor the formulations that we use and who are fully aware of what product quality we are manufacturing. We follow the formulation extremely carefully and we have our food independently tested to ensure that it maintains and meets the international standards required.
