Applaws use Cranberry Extracts as part of a number of other natural supplements in its dry food range.

The brand was a pioneer when it came to introducing only natural ingredients from sustainable sources to its ranges. Recipes contain high levels of human grade meat and or fish – there are no artificial additives, no colourings or no sweeteners.

The Applaws dry food range contains 75% chicken and absolutely no grains and cereals. This means that it’s low in carbohydrate which helps manage healthy fat levels by promoting the development of lean, strong muscle tissue.

A spokesperson said: "Active pro-biotics in Applaws helps your dog’s digestive system and the food is packed full of natural omega oils, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to help with your dog’s joints, coat, skin, eyesight, muscle tone and immune system.

"Applaws dry food is also available in a number of life stages each containing the right level of protein and nutrients to support the wellbeing of your dog whatever its age.

"Cranberry Extract,which is present in the Applaws dry food, can help fight cellular ageing, maintain healthy skin, promote a shiny coat and support the immune system in dogs.

"It also promotes a healthy urinary tract. Cranberry Extract contains compounds that prevent bacteria from attaching themselves to the cellular lining of the urinary tract. D-mannose is a sugar monomer that is thought to interfere with E. coli ability to adhere to urinary tract cells. E. coli is the most common bacteria involved in canine urinary tract infections.

"So as you tuck in to your Christmas dinner this year look out for foods for your dog that contain quality ingredients and natural supplements such as Cranberry Extract to help support their overall health. They too deserve a special meal this festive season."
