Leading veterinary surgeon and nutritionist Dr Veneta Kozhuharova, is Director of Associated Veterinary Services based in Rainham in Kent, made her trade debut at PATS with the launch of a new variety of her revolutionary food, Dr Veneta.

Stay Well (Chicken & Rabbit, Apple & Pumpkin) is the latest recipe in the Dr Veneta range and is designed to maintain a healthy status quo in a dog’s wellbeing. The food champions ingredients that are highly digestible and in the case of rabbit, hypoallergenic. The food is designed to keep inflammation in check whilst honing in on ingredients that support improved blood sugar control. This is achieved by smoothing unwelcome peaks and dips with added fibre.   This new recipe also supports the digestive and pivotal microbiome whilst simultaneously protecting the gut lining.

Through Dr Veneta’s work as a nutritionist as well as being a vet, and approving recipes for export to different countries, she became inspired to create her own range of dog food.  Dr Veneta Freeze-dried food is the latest phenomenon in the pet food market. It marries the convenience of a traditional kibble with the nutritional value of a raw diet.  The intricate freeze-drying process safeguards both the nutritional structure and shelf life of the products to create a far-reaching range that supports the ongoing health and wellbeing of your dogs whilst providing them with essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It is also convenient and easy to use, highly digestible, grain free, is a complete meal, uses human-grade natural ingredients such as raw meat and vegetables and is high in protein. The food is suitable for all sizes and breeds of dogs from 6 months of age. The kibbles themselves also make excellent dog training treats.

Dr Veneta has created a food that does not just support the wellbeing of dogs, but also their microbiome which is responsible for so many physiological functions that happen in dogs’ bodies and where 84% of the all-important immune system resides. Each recipe has been designed to tackle ailments seen in an everyday veterinary practice – elderly dogs, anxiety, joint problems, poor digestion and skin irritations. In addition to herbs and superfoods, a “hero” ingredient, Nutritional Yeast which is fermented and gluten free and very palatable to dogs has been added to support and feed a dog’s microbiome. All meat proteins, vegetables and fruits are British and locally sourced supporting local communities. The diet is also extremely good for maintaining a dog’s weight.

The food can be used as an alternative to the raw food diet, a complete meal, as a dog treat and as a topper making it the go to stable for any pet food store cupboard.

The potential of this range was rewarded at PATS with a number of excellent stockists placing orders to sell the range.

Dr Veneta is available in five varieties: STAY MOBILE (Chicken Swede & Blueberry) STAY CALM (Turkey, Pear & Apple) STAY SHINY (Turkey, Salmon, Carrot & Blueberry) STAY WELL (Chicken & Rabbit, Apple & Pumpkin) & STAY YOUNG (Pork, Pumpkin & Pear).

Dr Veneta made the finals of the PetQuip Awards and will be sponsoring the PIF Awards in November.
