What Food Do I Use?

HOW TO USE CHOOSE WHICH PRECISE/PRECISE PLUS PRODUCTS FOR WHAT USE:

I choose foods according to specific needs, not name on the bag ie: puppy food, senior food etc.. I look at the protein/fat, calcium levels and calories per cup in making a decision about what to feed, for what purpose - especially when it comes to giant breeds special needs. Precise has two lines - the Precise Plus line which is a Holistic line of pet foods, then they have a Super Premium line of foods. These foods are for domestic sales (USA). The Precept Plus is a Holistic line of foods for the International sales. The ANF line of foods has a ANF Holistics line and a Super Premium Line of foods as well. Distribution info is at the end of this article.


PRECISE PLUS - Holistic Line of Kibbles and Canned Foods

Canine Large Breed Adult Formula

24%protein - 12% fat - Calcium 1.13% - Calories 377 per cup

This food works for large/giant breed development past 10 months and older

Canine Adult Formula - 25% protein/16% fat - Calcium 1.2%
Calories - 397 per cup

This food works for large/giant breed growth 8 weeks through adult

Puppy Formula - 32% protein /18%fat - Calcium - 1.6%
Calories 398 - per cup

Although this is a puppy formula it is best suited for small- medium dog growth and too much for large/giant breeds. It is also ideal for adults of any breed that are performance dogs; showing, hunting, obedience, agility, rally etc because of it's higher protein/fat content.

Lamb & Sweet Potato - 22% protein/12% fat - Calcium 1.9%
Calories 403 per cup

I really like the protein/fat content on this food but the calcium levels are too high for giant breed growth - under a year of age. It is a nice alternative, a low glycemic index diet and multiple meat/proteins based. I think this food would be terrific for adults and older puppies 12 months and up, Seniors too

Precise Plus has a line of holistic canned meats to compliment these 4 formulas.


HOW I USE THE SUPER PREMIUM PRECISE LINE OF PRODUCTS

Small & Medium Breed Puppy Formula - 29% protein 19%fat - Calcium 1.5% -
Calories 447 per cup.

for puppies from weaning to 12 months- A higher protein formulation to help puppies build proper muscle during this critical life stage. Not for large/giant breed growth under 12 months of age.

Large & Giant Breed Puppy Formula - 27% protein 16% fat - Calcium 1.4%
Calories 427 per cup.

I do not recommend it for large/giant breed growth when following the Blackwatch Feed Program - it's a very high level of nutrition and pet owners can over feed due to calorie density. This would be fine to use after 12 months of age on giant breeds.

Chicken Meal & Rice Foundation Formula -24% protein - 14% fat - Calcium 1.28 -
Calories 420 per cup.

for moderately active adult dogs- Complete and all natural nutrition for your dog during his active adult life. Works for Large/Giant Puppy Growth

Chicken Meal & Rice Formula for adult dogs - 25% protein 15% fat - Calcium 1.2% -
Calories 420 per cup.

The original "no corn, no wheat" formula for pet owners who prefer a dog food without these and other potential allergens. Works for Large/Giant Puppy Growth

Endurance Formula for highly active adult dogs - 24% protein 14% fat - Calcium 1.6% - Calories 444 per cup

Our super stamina formula for working and sporting dogs or for those that have difficulty maintaining weight. Also supports pregnancy and lactation

Competition Formula for adult dogs - 26% protein - 16% fat - Calcium 1.4% -
Calories 429

An extra protein, extra fat formulation for dogs that are being exercised or shown. An excellent formula for all breeds but especially the Adult Large/Giant breeds who are being shown and supports pregnancy, lactation and weaning formula

Lamb Meal & Rice Sensicare Formula -22% Protein - 12%fat - Calcium 1.9% -
Calories 403 per cup

for moderately active adult dogs - Developed for dogs with food allergies, this formula doesn't contain wheat, corn, soy, beef, or poultry protein. This is not for large/giant breed growth under 12 months of age, due to high calcium levels, would work for a giant breed senior formula.

Senior Formula -18% protein 10% fat - Calcium 1.3% - Calories 399

for dogs 7 years and older - specifically formulated for aging dogs to help them maintain their ideal weight and avoid obesity. NOT for large/giant breeds due to low protein levels which cause loss of muscle mass and early deterioration of rear muscles.


Light Formula-18% protein 8% fat - Calcium 1.07% - Calories 351 per cup

for less active or overweight dogs - A reduced protein, reduced fat formula for dogs who are less active or overweight. This can not be used for large/giant breeds due to the low protein levels which do not support muscle mass, which can cause a breakdown in rear end muscles. NOT for Puppies. A short term diet. However, this would be a food for dogs prone to pancreas problems.


There are 4 canned meat formulas to enhance this line of kibble.
