For dogs and cats, fat is more than a key source of energy. It provides essential fatty acids (EFAs) needed for the growth and development of the brain, optic nerve, coat and muscles. Besides, it provides EFAs needed for physiological activities, e.g. lipid metabolism, cardiovascular health, immunoregulation, reproduction and pregnancy. Such EFAs include linoleic acid (LA, C18:2, ω-6), arachidonic acid (ARA, C20:4, ω-6), α-linolenic acid (ALA, C18:3, ω-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5, ω-6), docosahexenoic acid (DHA, C22:6, ω-6), and various short/medium-chain fatty acids.

Though everyday pet rations can provide enough energy in the form of fat, multiple factors, e.g. material selection and processing technique, may incline to cause deficiency in functional fats (namely, long-chain fatty acids (ARA/EPA/DHA)) or ω-6/ω-3 unbalance.

CABIMA, with ω-3, ω-6 and medium/short-chain fatty acids as core function nutrition, is scientifically formulated to address different pet needs. Preparation is also optimized in consideration of shelf life, palatability and bioavailability.

Dairy products, like milk powder, fermented milk and fresh milk, can provide cats and dogs with quality protein and address daily essential nutrients. However, as lactase in their bodies dwindles from the age of weaning, they’ll fail to well digest lactose in the dairy product, and, to make matters worse, there’ll be digestive tract problems, for example anorexia, diarrhea and vomiting.

Making lactose-free pet milk powder is manufactured with a unique process to remove lactose from cow’s or ewe’s milk. At the same time, it replenishes special functional ingredients and essential nutrients in a one-stop shop way while catering to a diversity of customer needs.
