" Here at AVA we believe that the love you feel for your dog can only be matched by the care we take in producing their food.
Our aim is perfectly simple - to use our passion and expertise to deliver exceptional nutrition through our foods.
AVA - the next step in Advanced Nutrition food.
At AVA we understand what makes your dog different.
That's why this tailored AVA BREED HEALTH formulation is specially made for Pugs and includes +Imuvita to support their immunity.
Pugs are typically loyal, loving and full of character.
Their size, solid build and big personality has maintained their position as one of the most popular small breeds for many years.
Sometimes, Pugs can be fussy eaters yet easily gain weight without adequate exercise or with overfeeding.
As a brachycephalic breed they are also susceptible to overheating and some dogs may experience breathing and eye issues.
Excellent skin and coat condition and a good digestive function are especially important for small breed dogs and are a sign of general good health.
Our AVA BREED HEALTH formulation is especially tempting, containing a source of quality fish protein for sensitive stomachs, with a curved kibble for easy feeding, prebiotics for digestive health and added Glucosamine and Chondroitin.
AVA is Veterinary Approved and a perfect choice for those wanting to feed a quality food.
Pug says no. Pug, who eats like a hoover, spat this out repeatedly. I returned the virtually full packet to pets at home who immediately refunded the full amount no quibble. The kibble smells very fishy.

Private label (or white label) pet foods are pre-formulated recipes that companies can order from certain factories, add their own label or packaging and retail to the public as their own brand. They are therefore available from numerous suppliers. Click here for more info.
In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
This is the ingredients list as printed on the packaging or manufacturer's website.
Think of the 'mixing bowl' composition like a recipe - all the ingredients you would need to put in a 'mixing bowl' in order to make the food.
Ingredients have to be listed in descending order of their weight so the higher it appears, the more there is.
Highlighted ingredients
Ingredients that we believe to be controversial or inferior are highlighted in yellow with particularly low grade, highly contentious or excessively vague ingredients in red.
Information in italics is not usually avaialble on the ingredients list but has been provided to us by the manufacturer to help with our ratings.
As fed composition
While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.
For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.
Please note that these figures are very approximate. They are estimates based on the information provided by the manufacturer in the ingredients list so the clearer the terminology and the more percentages they provide, the more accurate our estimates will be. Wherever information is lacking, we always assume the worst.
Ingredient categories
◉ Meat ingredients: includes all meat and fish ingredients except isolated fats/oils.
◉Added oils and fats: includes all isolated oil and fat ingredients.
◉ Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements.
◉ Fruit and veg: includes all whole vegetables and fruits.
◉ Other: all other ingredients. Mostly made up by nutritional supplements and additives.
The dry matter level of a nutrient is the percentage there would be in the food if all of the water was removed.
With water taken out of the equation, these figures allow the nutrient levels of foods of different types (like wet and dry) to be compared on an even playing field.
In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information

75 out of 100 - Good
Our unique nutritional ratings are calculated based on a number of characteristics including the quality and quantity of the stated ingredients, certain nutritional and technological additives and the processing methods used to create the food. They are designed to indicate how healthy a food is likely to be for the majority of dogs when fed on a daily basis for an extended period. Click here for more information

Some wet pet foods need thickeners and gelling agents to bind the ingredients and stabilise the consistency. Many of these additives do not need to be declared by the manufacturer despite some being fairly controversial.
