Description Versele Laga Cavia Complete Food for Guinea Pigs
Versele-Laga Complete Cavia is nutrition without worries. The exceptionally tasty all-in-one granules prevent selective feeding behaviour. That way, your guinea pig gets all the essential nutrients and stays perfectly healthy. The food with long fibres and stabilised vitamin C is specifically adapted to the nutritional needs of a guinea pig. Versele-Laga Complete Cavia is developed by veterinarians, based on advanced scientific knowledge.
Benefits:
Dental Care: Dental problems frequently occur in small mammals. In most cases, these are a direct consequence of an inadequate diet that does not sufficiently support the necessary natural wear and tear of the teeth and their continuous growth. The addition of specific whole long fibres with a high silicate content to Cavia Complete pellets guarantees maximum chewing activity, the necessary tooth wear and good oral health.
Fresh Vegetables: The extrusion process allows fresh vegetables to be added to the pellets. The addition of at least 10% fresh vegetables ensures a more appetising taste. Furthermore, together with the fibres and texture of the pellets, Cavia Complete is an ideal feed for guinea pigs, with a high level of intake.
Long Fibres: Piglets are naturally herbivores that require a diet with a sufficiently high fibre content and a low starch content. Cavia Complete contains 20% crude fibre. However, what is most unique is the manufacturing process, which allows these Complete foods to contain long, silicate-rich fibres, which are not shredded, like those present in natural foods. These long fibres help to improve the functioning of the intestine and mouth more effectively than the finely ground fibres of classic rodent feeds.
Low Calorie: The combination of low energy content, low starch content and high content of long dietary fibres incorporated into the extruded pellets themselves provides an easily digestible and balanced diet. In this way, your pet will be able to maintain its ideal weight.
Florastimul: The unique addition of prebiotics, Fructo-OligoSaccharides (FOS) and Mannan-OligoSaccharides (MOS), stimulates the intestinal flora in general. This results in optimal balance and good intestinal function.
Vitamin Plus: The addition of essential vitamins to Complete feeds promotes better general health. Vitamin A is important for skin cell renewal, eyesight, reproduction and metabolism. Vitamin D3 stimulates calcium/phosphorus intake, thus strengthening bones. Vitamins E and C are important antioxidants that protect the body's cells from free radicals. These two vitamins also increase the body's natural resistance. Guinea pigs do not have the ability to produce vitamin C in their own bodies. That is why vitamin C intake through food is vital for these animals. All other Complete feedstuffs are also enriched with stabilised vitamin C. Unlike its crystalline form, stabilised vitamin C is much less sensitive to oxidation and biodegradation and remains active for much longer.
Pro Immunity: The addition of the natural plant pigments lutein and ?-carotene has a positive effect on overall stamina and physical condition. On the one hand, these carotenoids have the property of being powerful biological antioxidants. On the other hand, they increase the body's natural resistance, stimulating the formation of antibodies against disease.
Optimal Coat: The addition of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids provides healthy skin and silky hair. Omega 6 fatty acids are incorporated in specific vegetable oils. On the other hand, the addition of flaxseed to Complete feed provides the necessary omega 3 fatty acids.
Anti Hairball:Thanks to the use of specific natural fibres, the risk of hairballs forming in the stomach and intestinal tract is reduced.
Odour Control: All Complete feeds contain extracts of yucca. These extracts will bind ammonia and other odour-causing components of faeces and urine. In this way, these unpleasant odours are considerably reduced.
