WELCOME TO ACTIVE PET FEEDS

Kronch wild salmon oil, treats and food will help your dog or cat maintain healthy skin and a glossy coat.  Salmon oil is known to help the immune system, which in turn could increase fertility and reduce the risk of heart disease.  Salmon oil is a great supplement for all dogs and cats including working dogs, puppies and gundogs, with vitamin B and natural nutrients.

We eat well why shouldn't our pets?  We believe the better food we feed our pets the healthier they will be.  Our food is all natural and lovingly made from the finest ingredients. 

With hypo-allergenic wild Salmon and no intestines, no soya, no artificial additives, colourings or flavourings, you can rely on Kronch to keep your dog incredibly healthy - naturally.

All APF products are made using fresh Salmon and are hypo-allergenic.  Therefore they contain no 'offending' ingredients that are known to irritate animals with sensitive digestions.

Salmon oil - by continuing development in helping to feed dogs in the world's harshest environment Active Pet Feeds works to continuously improve the salmon oil, salmon treats and salmon food products, which in turn improves the quality of life in your pet.  Pet owners are becoming more aware of the benefits of Salmon oil and Salmon dog food documented by some of the world's top health researchers and we are aiming to make our products readily available to all pet owners.

The sledge patrol Sirius at work on the arctic continent of Greenland

The sledge patrol Sirius at work on the arctic continent of Greenland.  The dogs in the Sirius Patrol are faced with one of the most challenging terrains and climates imaginable and they love it! They love it because they are built to survive the harsh weather and the physical challenges involved. The dogs are fed with Kronch Pemmikan on the harder expeditions, which ensures that they are always fit for the trip, both physically and mentally.

Kronch Pemmikan was developed specifically for the Sirius Patrol.  Henne Pet Food, in co-operation with the Sirius patrol, have developed a high-energy feed, that fully supplies what the dogs need under the extreme circumstances.

Pemmikan is an old Indian invention, that originally served as efficient travelling rations for the Indians.  Kronch Pemmikan is a mixture of meat and fat which is very rich in protein.  As a result, it contains a lot of energy, can be kept for a very long time, and is easy to pack and store.  It is currently used as an energy source for dogs on arctic expeditions where dogs and dog sleds are used.

The EXPEDITION Sirius 2000

In the beginning of February 2000, six young men departed on a 3500 Kilometer long polar expedition through one of the world's biggest and least explored areas.  The expedition marked the Sirius Patrols 50 year anniversary and ran along the North and Northeastern coast of Greenland, from Qaanaaq in the west to Daneborg in the east. Denmark's heir to the throne Prince Frederik was part of the polar expedition as was a film photographer, whose job was to ensure an optimal coverage of this event.

The Sirius Patrol normally feeds the dogs three times every evening.  Every dog gets 400 grams of Kronch Pemmikan when the expedition camps, 350g-400g of dried fish, and finally a lump of pigs fat (pork) that weighs 125g-250g (the colder the weather, the more fat is needed). For about 15 minutes to an hour, the dogs rip apart, chew, and play with the dried fish.  By doing this, dogs gain important vitamins from the dried fish and plenty of fuel for the muscles from the Kronch Pemmikan, that mostly consists of fat and sugar.  The expedition is currently looking into replacing the dried fish with a new Pemmikan type, which is rich in fibre.

Kronch Pemmikan

Kronch Pemmikan consists of as much as 58.5% fat, salmon, fishmeal, barley, corn, brewers yeast and numerous vitamins and minerals. It is a very powerful calorie bar, that contains approximately 6000 k. call. per kilo or 2400 k. call. per bar.

Kronch Pemmikan is an ideal supplement to a hard working dog's diet. Kronch Pemmikan is ideal for hunting dogs, tracker dogs, police dogs, training dogs and stressed show dogs.

Kronch Pemmikan increases your dog's stamina, calms it down, and makes it easier to control.

Kronch Fibre

The new Pemmikan type, which the EXPEDITION hopes can eventually replace the dried fish, has a lower energy content.  However, it is very rich in fibre, which is important for the dog's digestive system, which is what the dried fish is currently used for.

The Pemmikan Fibre consists of barley, wheat, protein, fat, sugar beat and several minerals and vitamins.  One of the problems that have yet to be solved with Pemmikan Fibre, is that it has to be dehydrated to stop mould from developing.  This, however, makes it so dry that it crumbles like a cookie when the dog bites it.  Obviously, it has not been perfected yet, which is why we are working hard to ensure that it lives up to our high standards.
