A NEW STANDARD OF DOG FOOD HAS LANDED

We at Rocketo strive to create the most natural but still convenient, organic and minimally processed pet food. We dry the muscle tissue and organs at around 40° celsius to keep the nutrients intact. We do not use byproducts, meals, or any other “leftovers” in our products. The low moisture content keeps the bacterial activity under control without acidity regulators and preservatives. We also do not add any salt thereby protecting the kidneys.

Rocketo combines the advantages of raw food in a dried food format. The closest we can produce to what nature offers dogs and wolves in nature. We pride ourselves that no legumes, fillers, preservatives, colorants or flavour enhancers are used in our recipes. This also means that the starch levels in our food is also incredibly low when compared to conventional pet foods.

We are also an environmentally friendly company using recyclable packaging and sustainable animal protein sources. As our food is dehydrated, this also means lower shipping volumes.

Dogs generally are ok with digesting small amount of starch. Since they lack the enzyme amylase in their saliva, all starch ends up in the stomach, which slows down the digestion of protein and forces more stomach acid production.

Starches also add more work load to the pancreas, which is responsible for all digestive enzymes.

Another benefit is to avoid the parasite Giardia spp. which cannot survive without starch.

This depends on the allergy of course and your vet can help define which animal protein source should be avoided.

We however do not use legumes, nuts, dairy, soy or eggs which are also known to be allergy causing in some cases. 

Our food also does not contain anything artificial such as added preservatives, vitamins, minerals, colourings or flavourings.

Yes, our raw ingredients are air dried under 40°C and are certainly not cooked, boiled, steamed, extruded, cold pressed or canned! Every ingredient in Rocketo is as close it can be to its natural state. 

Raw

Any food that is not heated above 65 degrees celcius is classisified as raw.

A lot of enzymes, vitamins and minerals, especially vitamins, are really sensitive to heat. Since we keep the heat in all stages of the process below 40 degrees, we avoid vitamins and amino acids changing their form. By keeping the food in its original form, the intestinal tract and microbiome of the dog can recognise, absorb and utilise all the nutrients. This means that all the goodness is available to the dog, and the dogs digestive system, liver and kidneys do not have to overwork to access these nutrients.

Dehydrated

We simply slowly remove the moisture from the food. This helps to naturally preserve the food, and to kill harmful parasites and bacteria, without destroying the integrity of the nutrients. This is one of the oldest and safest forms of food preservation, but the way we do it, at low temperatures is VERY different from others. Most companies dehydrate at much higher temperatures, which then destroys many enzymes, vitamins and minerals and has a detrimental impact on the nutritional value of the food. Adding the water back into the food before feeding ensures that the perfect moisture levels are attained for optimal health.
