Formulated as a complementary treat with a high-moisture, paste-style texture, it targets digestive comfort, sustained energy, and essential vitamin replenishment in dogs of varying ages and activity levels. The combination of real duck protein, wholesome vegetables, and a precisely selected vitamin complex makes this treat a rewarding yet functional addition to your dog's daily routine. Animeal is proud to offer the Wanpy Tasty Meat Paste Duck with Carrot and Pea as part of its curated selection of high-quality dog treats.

Duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus): Duck serves as the primary protein source in this formulation. As a lean, novel protein, it delivers a complete amino acid profile that supports lean muscle maintenance, tissue repair, and sustained energy metabolism. Duck is particularly valued in pet nutrition for its digestibility and its lower likelihood of triggering adverse food reactions in dogs accustomed to more common proteins such as chicken or beef.

Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus):Chicken is included as a secondary, complementary protein source that amplifies the overall amino acid density of the paste. It contributes to muscle fibre integrity and provides bioavailable phosphorus and B vitamins that participate in cellular energy production through the citric acid cycle.

Carrot (Daucus carota): Carrot is a rich natural source of beta-carotene, a provitamin A carotenoid that the canine liver converts into retinol. Beta-carotene functions as a potent antioxidant at the cellular level, neutralising free radicals that accumulate through normal metabolic activity. Carrot also contributes soluble dietary fibre that supports a balanced intestinal microbiome and promotes regular bowel transit.

Pea (Pisum sativum): Pea provides plant-derived protein and a meaningful quantity of dietary fibre, which acts as a prebiotic substrate for beneficial intestinal bacteria. The soluble fibre in peas supports the gut epithelial barrier, encourages consistent stool formation, and contributes to a feeling of satiety between main meals.

Starch: Starch functions as a natural binding and thickening agent that gives the paste its smooth, consistent texture. It also serves as a readily digestible carbohydrate source, delivering a rapid glucose supply for short-term energy.

Xanthan Gum: Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide-based stabiliser used to maintain the homogeneous, lickable consistency of the paste. It ensures that the product remains smooth and easy to dispense from the tube throughout its shelf life without compromising digestibility.

Salt (Sodium Chloride): Salt is included at a controlled level to support electrolyte balance. Sodium and chloride ions are essential for maintaining osmotic pressure across cell membranes, supporting nerve signal transmission, and regulating fluid distribution within the body.

Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid): Taurine is a conditionally essential sulphur-containing amino acid of particular importance in canine cardiac physiology. It supports the structural integrity of cardiomyocytes, facilitates bile acid conjugation for fat digestion, and acts as an antioxidant within cardiac and retinal tissues. Adequate taurine intake is associated with a reduced risk of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in susceptible dog breeds.

Vitamin A (Retinol): Vitamin A regulates gene expression in epithelial and immune cells, supports the integrity of the corneal surface, and plays a foundational role in visual phototransduction via its rhodopsin precursor function. It also reinforces the skin barrier and mucosal immune defences against environmental pathogens.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Riboflavin is a coenzyme precursor forming flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), both essential cofactors in mitochondrial electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation. It supports cellular energy production, healthy skin turnover, and ocular tissue function.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin / Nicotinamide): Niacin is a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme that drives over 400 enzymatic reactions including those involved in glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and DNA repair. It supports healthy skin integrity, gastrointestinal function, and neurological health.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid): Pantothenic acid is the biosynthetic precursor of coenzyme A (CoA), which is indispensable for fatty acid synthesis, amino acid catabolism, and the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA in the Krebs cycle. It supports sustained energy metabolism and healthy adrenal gland function.

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Vitamin D3 is converted in the liver and kidneys to its active form, calcitriol, which regulates intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption. Adequate calcitriol levels are essential for maintaining bone mineral density, supporting immune cell differentiation, and regulating muscle contractility.

Vitamin E (alpha-Tocopherol): Vitamin E is the body's primary fat-soluble antioxidant, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids within cell membranes from lipid peroxidation. It supports immune responsiveness, maintains coat quality, and works synergistically with other antioxidants to reduce oxidative cellular damage.
