Pet enthusiasts are rejoicing as Italcol, a leading Colombian pet food manufacturer, joins forces with dairy giant Alpina to introduce Dog Yurt, a groundbreaking line of topping-snacks tailored specifically for dogs. This innovative product aims to fuse wholesome ingredients with delightful flavors, addressing the dietary requirements and preferences of our furry friends.
Dog Yurt debuts in two distinct varieties: Nutri-Bar and DelidogMix. Nutri-Bar presents a fusion of salmon, blueberries, and a probiotic-enriched, non-dairy liquid food. This water-based blend caters to dogs of all breeds, serving as a complement to the brand’s existing snack bars, thereby elevating pet food with a delectable topper.
Meanwhile, DelidogMix, the second iteration in the Dog Yurt range, features chicken and wheat combined with a similar probiotic-rich, non-dairy liquid food. Both variants boast a foundation of non-dairy liquid, infused with essential amino acids sourced from meat, easily digestible starches, and a fortified blend of vitamins and minerals, ensuring a balanced nutritional composition and heightened palatability. This launch marks a significant stride in the local pet treat market.
Fusing Dairy Expertise with Pet Nutrition
According to Triplethree International, Italcol de Occidente stands as the fifth-largest local pet food producer. Colombia, a notable contender in the Latin American pet food sector, witnessed the consumption of nearly half a million tons of pet food in 2023. With an estimated 10 million dogs and cats as residents, the country aligns its pet food calorie penetration closely with the regional average, albeit slightly trailing in cat food.
Beyond introducing an innovative product, Dog Yurt reinforces the collaboration between two industry stalwarts, leveraging Italcol’s prowess in pet nutrition alongside Alpina’s dairy production expertise to craft a distinctive offering tailored for canine consumption. This partnership underscores a burgeoning trend in the pet care domain, wherein cross-sector partnerships and renowned brands converge to harness their collective brand influence, fostering innovative solutions to meet the evolving demands of pet owners and their cherished companions.
With Dog Yurt, Italcol and Alpina aim to captivate pet owners seeking nutritious, palatable, and convenient additions to enhance their dogs’ dietary regimen.
