PRODUCT GUIDE
70% PROTEIN FROM MEAT
High quality, highly digestible Australian duck supplies at least 70% protein from this single meat source and ensures the supply of the complete range of essential and non-essential amino acids to sustain and build muscles as well as for tissue synthesis and repair.
IMMUNE SUPPORT THROUGH GUT HEALTH
At Delicate Care™, we believe that a healthy gastrointestinal tract with a stable and healthy microbiome provides the first line of immune defence against pathogenic bacteria and other common pathogens in your dog. Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food contains a blend of prebiotics to promote long term intestinal health, which in turn stimulates and helps to maintain a healthy immune system. Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food contains prebiotics in the form of FOS [Fructo-Oligo-Saccharides] and MOS [Manno-Oligo-Saccharides] which are carefully selected sugars that encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria in the gut. Additionally, Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food contains β-glucans to support your dog’s immune function.
OMEGA MAGIC™ FOR SKIN & COAT
Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food contains Omega Magic™, a proprietary blend of high grade Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential oils. This balanced and potent blend of canola and sunflower oils, flax seed oil, and fish oil with a high EPA and DHA content, ensures your dog maintains a glossy coat and healthy skin.
HYPOALLERGENIC LIMITED INGREDIENT DIET
Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food is formulated for dogs with sensitive skin. Designed as a limited ingredient diet without compromising on nutritional delivery, each ingredient is chosen for a specific nutritional purpose. Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food is formulated with a single source of animal protein (Australian duck) and may be suitable for most dogs that suffer from protein-based food allergies or intolerance due to beef or chicken. Australian grown sorghum has been included as a GMO free, gluten free, sustainable ancient grain with a low glycaemic index (GI) to supply a slow and steady release of carbohydrate energy throughout the day.
HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE FAT FOR EASILY OBTAINABLE ENERGY
Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food contains easily digestible fat for energy for everyday activities. The fat levels in Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food are balanced to maintain your adult dog’s weight and well-being over the long term.
HIGH IN NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS
Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food contains powerful natural antioxidants from superfoods such as blueberries and turmeric. These ingredients help to prevent oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Blueberries are a superfood which contain high levels of the antioxidant resveratrol. They also contain tannins that support urinary tract health. Turmeric is a superfood that contains curcumin, which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, curcumin in turmeric also supports brain function in adult dogs.
REDUCED ODOURS & IMPROVED STOOL QUALITY
Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food contains a natural extract from the plant, Yucca schidigera, that supports a healthy digestive system and aids in reducing body and faecal odours. When your dog smoothly transitions over to Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food, you will notice an overall improvement in stool quality.

CHANGING OVER TO DELICATE CARE™
When changing to Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food from another diet, we recommend that you allow 7-10 days for transition. Introduce Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food slowly by mixing with your dog’s previous food, and gradually increase the amount of Delicate Care™ Adult Dog Food until you are feeding this exclusively. This gradual transition will reduce the chance of stomach upsets.
