Recent research revealed that 39% of Brits didn’t know enough about the ingredients in the food they feed their dogs, whilst 44% wish there were a solution to make figuring out dog food ingredients easier.
As part of your new and improved Superfood 65® range, two of your recipes will include Angus Beef, but what is this protein source? And how does it benefit dogs?
What is Angus Beef? 
Angus Beef comes from a breed of cattle called the ‘Aberdeen Angus’, also referred to as ‘Black Angus’.
This breed of cattle is native to the North East of Scotland. Angus cattle are bred to be robust and sturdy so they can thrive in the cold Scottish winters. This is why they are known for their significant muscle content and strength.
How do Angus Beef and regular Beef differ?
A common question amongst meat lovers is what is the difference between Angus Beef and regular beef. Firstly Angus Beef is sourced from a singular breed, while regular beef can be sourced from various breeds. There is also a difference in taste between the two different types of meats.
Angus Beef is classified as a higher quality product than regular beef due to increased marbling (the amount of intramuscular fat). Good marbling means fat is dispersed thinly and evenly throughout the meat, ensuring consistent texture, juiciness and flavour. Angus beef is also lower in saturated fat, rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals and shrinks less during the cooking process.
How does Angus Beef benefit dogs?
Angus beef has a range of benefits to dogs. It is an extremely palatable and highly digestible protein source. A great source of iron and zinc, which is essential for growth metabolism, whilst also containing B12 vitamins to help the nervous system, brain function and growth of blood cells. Due to Angus Cattle producing marbled meat, this type of meat contains Omega-3 fatty acids that contribute to the overall health and wellbeing of a dog.
