Is Your Dog Getting Real Nutrition? Understanding Protein Sources, Vitamins & Grain-Free Diets

Every pet parent wants the best for their dog-better health, improved digestion, boundless energy, and a longer, happier life. But choosing the right food can be overwhelming when every brand claims to have “premium protein” or “balanced nutrition.”

The truth is, not all dog foods are created equal.

As an official distributor of the Hagen Group, MaplePets is proud to bring you Nutrience Grain Free SubZero. This isn’t just another bag of kibble; it is a scientifically developed nutritional breakthrough made with fresh Canadian meat and enriched with freeze-dried raw NUTRIBOOST technology.

It’s not just a claim-it’s a global standard. Nutrience is the No.1 Dog Food in America, exported to 99+ countries, making it the globally trusted choice for pet parents who refuse to compromise on quality.

Here is why Nutrience Grain Free SubZero outperforms ordinary dog foods.

1. Ingredient Quality: Fresh Canadian Meat vs Frozen & By-Products

One of the biggest differences in dog food quality starts with the protein source.

Many ordinary dog foods rely on:

• • Frozen meat that loses nutrients
  • Meat by-products like feathers, nails, beaks, or leftover scraps

• Low-grade fillers that offer poor digestibility

These ingredients often lead to stomach sensitivity, allergies, dull coat, and lower energy.

Nutrience Advantage
Nutrience SubZero is a premium dog food line designed for optimal health.

• • Fresh, never-frozen Canadian meat
  • Slow cooked Food with High Nutrients
  • No animal by-products

• High-quality protein with a superior amino acid

It is available in three delicious Tastes: Fraser Valley, Northern Lakes, and Canadian Pacific – giving you the choice to select the formula your dog loves most.

Locally sourced fresh meat without stored or refrigerated provides better digestibility, stronger muscles, and more natural nutrients. With Nutrience SubZero, your dog gets truly superior nutrition for a healthier, happier life.

AAFCO Certified Nutrition
Nutrience SubZero meets the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) nutritional standards for all life stages, ensuring your dog receives complete and balanced nutrition based on globally recognized guidelines.

2. Nutriboost: Real Raw Nutrition in Every Bowl

What sets Nutrience apart from ordinary grain-free dog foods is its exclusive NUTRIBOOST technology-a blend of raw freeze-dried meat combined with powerful superfoods.

Each piece of NUTRIBOOST contains:

• • Pacific cod liver
  • Acadian kelp
  • Green mussels

• Fresh wild-caught fish

These ingredients support:

• • Joint health
  • Gut health
  • Skin & coat nourishment

• Immune strength

Ordinary foods may claim to contain superfoods, but realistically, such premium raw ingredients cannot be included in low-cost formulas. This is why Nutrience belongs to a higher, premium category.

3. Omega-3 & Omega-6: Essential for Skin, Coat, and Brain Health

Dogs require balanced Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids for overall wellness.
A lack of these results in:

• • Dry skin
  • Excess shedding
  • Dull coat

• Low immunity

Nutrience SubZero delivers naturally rich Omega sources from fresh fish and cod liver oil.

The result?
A visibly shinier coat, healthier skin, improved brain function, and stronger immunity.

4. Grain-Free and Gentle on the Stomach

Digestive issues are one of the most common complaints among dog owners.
Ordinary foods often contain:

• • Corn
  • Wheat
  • Soy

• Animal-by-product meals

These ingredients are harsh on sensitive stomachs.

Why Nutrience Is Easier to Digest

• 100% grain-free
• Made from fresh meat
• Zero by-products
• Rich in natural digestive nutrients

Dogs switching to Nutrience often experience immediate improvement in digestion, stool quality, and appetite.

5. Nutritional Density: Why You Feed Less but Get More

If your dog eats 100g of ordinary food, they will typically need just 50g of Nutrience SubZero to receive the same-or higher-nutritional value.

Suppose if we take an example for a small breed like the Shih Tzu, which typically weighs around 4–5 kg as an adult, the recommended feeding capacity is only about 0.6 cup of dry dog food per day. Since one cup equals 121g, the ideal daily intake becomes approximately 100–108g, usually divided into two meals in India. This means each serving is just 50–54g—much lower than traditional dog food, where pet parents often feed 200–300g for the same breed. This clearly highlights that our premium all- ages dog food offers low consumption, complete nutrition, small breed formula benefits, balanced diet support, healthy digestion, and high-quality ingredients, making it a smarter feeding choice for Shih Tzus.

Why?

Because Nutrience is:

• • Dense in protein
  • Ripe with raw nutrients
  • Higher in vitamins and minerals

• More digestible

Less food, more nutrition – a true sign of premium quality.

6. Dogs Need 27 Essential Vitamins & Minerals

A complete diet should deliver all essential micronutrients.
Nutrience SubZero naturally fulfills these nutritional needs with its thoughtfully crafted formula, ensuring stronger bones, better immunity, and overall healthier development.

7. Safe and Nutritious for Puppies

Puppies can start eating Nutrience SubZero from 45 days of age.
For puppies, always serve it with sprinkle water.

This helps young puppies transition smoothly to solid food while supporting early growth.
