EXTRAORDINARY NUTRITION,
BACKED BY SCIENCE

TAILORED NUTRITION FOR LIFELONG WELLBEING

From playful puppies and kittens to active adults and relaxed seniors, your pet's nutritional needs change throughout life. EUKANUBA provides wholesome, flavourful food designed to support your dog or cat at every stage, adapting to their evolving requirements. But nutrition isn’t just about age—especially for dogs, size also plays a key role. That’s why our dog food is further divided within life stages—puppy, junior, adult, mature, and senior—based on breed size. With EUKANUBA, you can ensure your pet receives precisely tailored nutrition to support their wellbeing at every stage of life.

FUNCTIONAL FOODS FOR SPECIAL NUTRITION

Every pet is unique, with its own temperament, personality, and sometimes specific dietary requirements. These needs may arise from lifestyle factors or health conditions. To support pets with special nutritional demands, EUKANUBA offers a range of functional foods with tailored recipes designed to promote their wellbeing.

DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN HIGH-QUALITY NUTRITION

With years of expertise, EUKANUBA carefully crafts each recipe using only the finest ingredients. Our formulas are 100% complete and balanced, providing all the essential nutrients to support your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. High-quality protein helps build and maintain strong muscles, while prebiotics and a carefully selected blend of essential vitamins and minerals make our recipes stand out. Additionally, the unique kibble shape of EUKANUBA dry food, combined with our DentaDefense technology, helps keep your pet’s teeth clean and healthy.

SCIENTIFICALLY FORMULATED
FOR EVERY LIFE STAGE

As your pet ages, their nutrition should be adapted. Our comprehensive understanding of canine physiology allows us to create precisely calibrated nutrition for each developmental stage and breed size, ensuring optimal support throughout their entire life journey.

  • LIFE STAGES

  • Puppy

    The foundation period where nutrition directly impacts future health. Our puppy formulas feature enhanced DHA levels from fish oil to support neural development and cognitive function—critical for optimal trainability and early learning. Balanced calcium and phosphorus ratios support proper skeletal development, while proteins with essetnial amino acids provide building blocks for growth.

  • JUNIOR

    A crucial transition phase as growth patterns shift. Our junior formula maintains tailored protein and mineral levels to support continuing development while adjusting energy density to match changing metabolism.This precise nutritional balance helps support the final stages of physical maturation while preparing for adult maintenance needs.

  • ADULT

    The prime years require nutrition that sustains peak condition. Our adult formulas deliver optimal protein-to-fat ratios to maintain lean muscle mass and energy levels. Enhanced antioxidant complexes support the immune system, while our distinctive fibre blend promotes digestive health and nutrient absorption.

  • MATURE

    As metabolic processes begin to change, the nutrition should follow. Our Mature formulas provide targeted support, while addressing early signs of aging. L-Carnitine helps to maintain a healthy weight, while a high level of animal protein supports lean muscles. The DentaDefense systems helps to keep teeth clean and an optimal ration of omega-6 & -3 supports healthy skin and coat.

  • SENIOR

    Advanced years require advanced nutrition. Our senior formulas feature glucosamine and chondroitin to support joint health and mobility. Prebiotic FOS and MOS nourish the gut flora and together with a tailored fibre blend support a healthy digesiton. Adjusted protein and fat levels along with L-Carnitin help maintain a healthy body condition.

ASKED QUESTIONS

When feeding for the first time, gradually introduce EUKANUBA into your dog’s diet over a period of 4 days. Your dog may eat more or less of the recommended amount depending on age, temperament, and activity level. 

To maintain quality, store EUKANUBA pet food in a cool (no more than 25 °C), dry place—ideally in an airtight container, protected from sunlight and out of reach of children, pets, and other animals. 
Please keep a minimum distance of 5 meters from any pesticides or fertilizers. 
For 800 g and 3 kg bags, ensure the zip lock is fully sealed. For larger bags (7.5 kg, 12 kg, and 15 kg), always make sure the top slider is securely closed. 

Proteins are a major component of most organ systems, such as muscles, skin, and hair. They also include vital substances like enzymes, antibodies, and the oxygen-carrying pigment hemoglobin. Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are not only essential for building the body’s own proteins but also play important roles—individually or in smaller combinations—in various metabolic processes.

Some amino acids can be produced by the body in sufficient amounts, while others must be obtained through the diet. These are known as essential amino acids, and the specific requirements can vary between animal species.

For dogs, it is crucial that the protein in their food—along with its amino acid profile—matches their nutritional needs. High-quality animal-based protein sources are particularly well suited for this. That’s why EUKANUBA recipes are not only tailored to meet the individual protein requirements of dogs, but also contain high-quality animal protein sources such as chicken, turkey, lamb, or salmon. EUKANUBA does not use concentrated plant protein sources. 

All EUKANUBA foods are produced in the Netherlands. Our dry food is exclusively made in a dedicated facility in Coevorden, near the German border.

A team of passionate experts in pet nutrition, microbiology, biology, and food safety ensures that every meal meets the highest standards of quality and taste. Our new EUKANUBA dog cans are manufactured in a modern high-quality facility, also located in the Netherlands.
