Countryrun Nutrition - ABADY GROWTH FEEDS

The Difference Between Abady Growth Feeds and All Other Brands In The Marketplace

Ahead of its time, and ahead of everyone else, The Robert Abady Dog Food Company, Ltd. is the company that 18 years ago introduced the concept of specifically targeted growth formulas to the marketplace. Targeted at meeting the specific growth needs of puppies that matured at different growth levels - one for toy, one for small and medium sized dogs, one for puppies of the larger breeds and another for puppies of the giant breeds, each formula maximized the growth potential of the puppies within the designated weight category. Abady was the first to recognize the importance of this type of differentiated growth nutrition and has been perfecting it for almost two decades. No other company can legitimately make the same claim.
HOW COMPANIES FORMULATE THEIR PRODUCTS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF FAST GROWING DOGS DETERMINES THE TYPE OF RESULTS OBTAINED
The Abady Company has found that based on an erroneous premise, the prevalent view of the nutrition provided for fast growing dogs is to diminish the amount of nutrition these puppies receive. It is around this incorrect premise that most manufacturers formulate their growth products - Abady does not. Years of research conducted by the Abady Company and fully supported by independent scientific research have fully confirmed that only by providing the nutrients needed during growth at the rate they are called for by the body, in a fully available form can the hope of growing sounder puppies be achieved. In fact, only when diets are designed around this premise, developed by the Abady Company, can puppies consistently be grown without experiencing the common growth problems endured by dogs today. In order to achieve these wonderful results The Abady Company developed a four point structure which we call the Nature/Science Format™ which a product must meet in order to sustain growth most effectively.
1) The ingredients must be biologically suitable to building tissue in the dog's body as rapidly as needed. This means that the ingredients must be usable, which is a step beyond digestible. Species appropriate ingredients are the most useable and therefore, the Abady Company includes more of them in its products that anyone else. Impressively, in addition to the generous amounts of species-appropriate ingredients in Abady products, 92% to 95.82% of the protein in Abady growth feeds(depending on the formula) is derived from its animal-based constituents.
2) The second point relates to how the ration is manufactured. Most feeds today are offered in a kibbled form. A batter is prepared into which all the ingredients are mixed, they then travel through a tube into which steam is injected and then forced through an extruder at high pressure. This method is designed to insure that the plant-based ingredients are thoroughly processed, however, because the fats, oils, animal-based ingredients and vitamins don't require the high levels of processing needed by the grain and the other plant material they are often reduced in nutritional effectiveness simply due to the limitations of the process. Furthermore, in order to insure that the kibble will be crunchy, the amount of animal-based components needs to be restricted. The Abady Company, on the other hand, has developed its own. process (patent pending) wherein each of the individual components is processed separately and to the level necessary. After each component is processed it is then mixed with the others enhancing the totality of the whole.
3)Elimination of factors that interfere with nutrition and
4) Safety. Fibrous material is used liberally in dry feeds today. The primary reason being that it is industry's chosen method of firming the stool (artificially). The Abady Company's approach is entirely different, firm stools are produced through the use of species-appropriate ingredients in a natural way avoiding the anti-nutritional side effects created by vast quantities of roughage. Significant amounts of roughage(the levels required to firm the stool artificially) speed up the transit time of the food through the stomach and the small intestine and slow it up through the colon (the opposite of the way in which species-appropriate ingredients are processed by the body). The increased transit time through the stomach and small intestine reduce the amount of time the body requires to break down the ingredients and absorb the nutrients. In the small intestine the roughage physically interposes itself between the nutrients and the absorptive surfaces of the small intestine, blocking nutrient absorption at those sites. This is particularly meaningful because nutrients must be available in the right amounts and correct patterns the instant the body calls for them to build a bodily structure and any failure to deliver all of the needed nutrients or interfere with their availability can result in permanent structural deficiencies. The slowing of the food and fiber through the colon (large intestine) creates a firm stool, but it also holds toxins in the ileum (lower part of small intestine and the colon) setting up the animal for torsion or bloat, if the toxins are of the paralytic variety, and many plant-based toxins are. Ingredients such as beet pulp, soybeans, sorghum (milo), alfalfa, oats, potatoes, garlic and yucca, often included in dog food, contain these paralytic toxins, they are called saponins. Saponins are at the very least digestive tract irritants, that can inflame and corrode the digestive tract, interfere with nutrient absorption and damage the digestive organs themselves. Without the smooth function of the digestive organs efficient processing of food cannot take place. Saponins interfere with growth by speeding up the rate of growth while interfering with the enzymes needed to break down and utilize protein, they also dissolve red blood cells causing anemia and last but not least, have caused bloat in every animal in which they have been tested - including dogs. Naturally inordinately large amounts of fibrous material in other products and saponin-containing ingredients are excluded from Abadv products. While industry is busy ignoring or denying the saponin /fiber/bloat connection advanced by the Abady Company, Purdue University has recognized an increase of 1500% in bloat and torsion since 1964 and suspects that a new ingredient in feed or a method of production may be at the root of it.
IN SUMMATION
The Abady Company was the first company to recognize the necessity of differentiating the nutrition of dogs maturing at different weight classes. The Abady Company has also recognized that growth is the period in animal's life when the demands for creating tissue are at their greatest, requiring more nutrients not fewer nutrients and has, therefore, developed rations that help meet those needs. The Abady Company has also recognized that the practice of curtailing feed intake during in growth reflects a desperate attempt to continue using feeds that are intrinsically inadequate. Abady growth products provide the required nutrition for your growing Chihuahua, your sprouting Great Dane and every breed in-between. Abady Growth Products - thoughtfully, designed for uncompromising nutrition and safety should d be the choice of every intelligent dog owner. With Abady great results without risks are assured.

Countryrun has considered and studied canine nutrition for 25 years, realizing the importance in raising Great Danes. In finding Abady products, we are amazed at the condition and health of our dogs, including the absence of stomach torsion.

All of our puppies are raised on Giant Breed Growth Formula to insure proper growth for this rapid growing breed. It is a pleasure to watch this breed grow sound without the typical bone diseases that haunt the Great Dane and other large breeds. These results have prompted us to sell Abady products and to make it as convenient as possible for the Giant Breed owner to obtain these feeds. Each owner can call Linda Scaturro for personal advice on which food would suit their pet's needs. Abady has over 50 different full feeding formulas to choose from.
