How do I choose dry food for my furry friend?
The choice of dry pet food depends on several factors. When buying food, consider your pet's age, size, breed, activity and special needs. HOME FOOD diets contain detailed information on the website and packaging to help you choose the right food for your pet. You can also ask our managers for recommendations by calling 0 800 339 124 or writing to us on social media.
Why is it important to choose dry food with natural ingredients?
When you buy dry food with natural ingredients, you are guaranteeing your pet:
• A balanced diet with an optimal content of all essential nutrients.
• Maintaining health and activity.
• Excellent health and well-being.
• Healthy development.
HOME FOOD contains 100% natural ingredients:
• Up to 70% meat ingredients.
• Selected vegetables, fruits, berries (fresh and dried).
• A healthy mix of cereals and medicinal herbs.
• Essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and chondroprotectors.
• A special ingredient is the AMROL phytoformula (a biologically active complex based on amaranth, milk thistle and flax). It has a powerful immunostimulating and anti-inflammatory effect; normalises the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract and endocrine glands; prevents skin diseases; and saturates cells with oxygen.
How to feed your pet dry food correctly?
The functioning of the digestive system, the condition of the skin, fur, muscles, joints and bones depend on the correct nutrition. An insufficiently balanced diet, dietary disorders, and feeding harmful foods prohibited for tailed animals from the human table can lead to serious health problems. You should pay attention to the composition of the food and feeding recommendations. To determine the correct portion for your furry friend, we recommend that you read the feeding standards on the back of the food packaging or on the website.
• Feeding standards for cats and recommendations for switching to a new food
• Feeding standards for dogs and recommendations for switching to a new food
When feeding dry food, do not forget about water balance! Provide your pet with constant access to fresh drinking water.
Why is it important not to change feed flavours?
It is not recommended to change the flavours of tailed food frequently for several reasons:
- Gastric distress. Sudden changes in the animal's diet can lead to gastrointestinal distress. Animals need time to adapt to a new type of food, and a constant change in flavours can cause diarrhoea or nausea.
- Refusal to eat. Some furry animals may refuse to eat if the taste palette is constantly changing. This can lead to starvation and weight loss.
- Unbalanced diet. If you are constantly changing the food, it is difficult to control whether your pet is getting all the necessary nutrients in the right amounts. Changes in diet can lead to an unbalanced diet.
- Cat's health. If your cat has special needs or health problems, its diet can be tailored to suit these circumstances. Constant changes in diet can be harmful to his health.
If you need to change your furry's diet, do it gradually, introducing new foods in addition to the old ones for a few days to give him time to adapt.
How do I choose food for a tail with a sensitive digestion or allergies?
If your pet has a sensitive digestion or allergic reactions, we recommend choosing a special food. Take a look at our hypoallergenic diets for cats and dogs, which are suitable for pets prone to rashes, eczema, dermatitis and other skin conditions. Such foods can also be given to pets with a sensitive gastrointestinal tract. We recommend that you consult your veterinarian to take into account the individual characteristics of your pet.
How to store dry food to keep it fresh and tasty?
To preserve the freshness of the feed, keep it in an airtight container in a cool and dry place, out of direct sunlight. Do not leave bags of feed open and always check the expiry date.

What are the granule sizes in your feed and why is this important for animals?
The size of the pellets depends on the taste and purpose of the food, as well as the size and breed of the animal. Maxi pellets are ideal for large and giant dogs, while smaller croquettes are suitable for small or medium-sized breeds. It is important that the pellets are easy to chew and suitable for the animal's characteristics.
Why can the colours of the pellets in my dry food vary?
The colour of the pellets in HOME FOOD dry food may vary from batch to batch. That's because we use only natural ingredients without colouring or artificial additives. It is important to note that the colour of the croquettes does not affect the quality or safety of the product, and all our foods undergo thorough quality control.
Why did you decide to use loose pellets in your dry food rather than dense ones?
A loose pellet is one of the main features of HOME FOOD dry food. This is a feature of the production process, when the extruder slows down, which gives time for the croquette to explode.
Loose kibble has several benefits for pets:
• It does not injure teeth and gums when gnawed, so our diets can be fed even to animals with dental problems.
• It dissolves easily during digestion, which ensures high digestibility of the feed, which guarantees the optimal amount of nutrients.
• It does not form purulent processes in the intestines, so animals do not have unpleasant odours from the mouth and faeces.
