According to the company’s statement, this new brand is presented with a renewed design and formulation, with thirteen different recipes — eight for dogs and five for cats — , of high protein content which can be purchased in smaller sacks to meet the current demand for this type of food in the market. “Our goal is to provide a complete and balanced diet for pets, which not only satisfies their nutritional needs, but also contributes to promoting a long and healthy life for those dogs and cats that we love so much and that are part of our family,” comments Sandra Cores, Commercial Director of Nugape Pet Food. In addition to the high animal protein content, Cebican Cosmo includes fruits and vegetables in a balanced way to help improve the health of pets through antioxidants and phytonutrients, providing added value to their recipes, the company points out. All this, without losing sight of other essential nutrients, such as taurine, essential for heart and eye care; prebiotics, which strengthen digestive health by promoting a balanced microbiota; or Omega 3 and 6, essential for maintaining healthy skin and a shiny coat, as well as having anti-inflammatory properties.

The ‘PEFCR Feed’ holds the methodology and rules for how to calculate the environmental footprint of compound feed. FEFAC explained that the update was primarily of technical nature, without significant changes to the methodology itself. The updated PEFCR Feed, which will also be made available on the European Commission’s Environmental Footprint Methods webpage, is valid until at least December 2026, by which time more clarity will be given as regards when a more substantial ‘full review’ is due. With help of input during the technical update procedure, FEFAC has already started with an inventory of possible improvements and welcomes further suggestions from experts in the coming years. FEFAC President Pedro Cordero said: “The technical update of the PEFCR Feed was a formal necessity, but the restored validity is nonetheless of great importance. It reinforces FEFAC’s commitment to facilitating companies to move ahead with communicating the environmental performance of compound feed production, with the recently endorsed Green Feed Labelling Code and the GFLI Database as two other key pillars”.
