FOCUS ON PETS FOOD SOLUTIONS

What is the positioning of Lemeng Pets?


"Reverence for life" is our brand positioning, said Queena Li, one of the founders of Lemeng pet.Rather than the current "rise of making people long" for a brand, it is more important to "build the quality" of the brand, the universe is a tide, nature is fearful, life is respectable. By planting a tree that respects every life, the brand of Meng Pet will continue to thrive.

Why use "Reverence for life" to summarize the brand positioning of Meng Pet?


Meng Pet has our own factory, and as a pet food industry, it is important to be socially responsible. Our team adheres to the concept of "equality between humans and pets, companionship for life", and sticks to the original idea that every dog and cat treat is made with care. For brand satisfaction, half of the answers come from us, the other half, to the user.

What is the production process of canned food?


Research and development → sampling → testing palatability → confirming the formula → supplier evaluation → purchasing raw materials → scheduling production. Production process includes: raw material pre-treatment → empty can cleaning → canning → vacuum sealing → cleaning → autoclaving → finished product cleaning → after 14 days of resting → arrange for shipment

Is the product traceable? How to trace it?


For factories with strict production and quality system, products must be traceable. The traceability is based on the various systems of the factory's internal control, i. e. production management, quality control system, supplier management, raw material management, etc., all of these are traceable.

Is complete and balance food superior to dry food?


We would give the rating that the complete food can is definitely superior to the dry food. For example, canned food is closer to the diet of pets, like cats, where natural raw meat is the main source of food, and the moisture content of natural untreated raw meat is over 70%. The contents of the cans are pure meat with a water component, which not only meets the daily hydration needs of the pet, but also provides a full meal, with a calorie density that is up to standard, so the pet will not easily gain weight and will be in a more athletic form. With dry food, it is more difficult to keep pets hydrated, which may cause urinary problems on the one hand, and may result in high nutrient density one the other hand, resulting in higher risk of obesity and health problems. Canned food with the same weight is easier to get full than dry food, which can help obese pets lose weight. Also, based on the eternal law of the market: you get what you pay for. It is easy for careful consumers to see that buying the same weight of pet food costs a lot more in canned food than in pellets. The price of canned and dry pet food can vary depending on the brand, weight, and ingredients. However, in general, canned food tends to be more expensive than dry food. This is because canned food contains more moisture, which makes it heavier and more expensive to transport and store. Additionally, canned food often uses higher-quality ingredients than dry food, which also drives up the cost. The serving size of canned and dry pet food can also vary. Canned food typically has a higher moisture content than dry food, which means that it weighs less per serving. For example, a 12-ounce can of canned food may contain only 3 ounces of dry matter, while a 12-ounce bag of dry food may contain 8 ounces of dry matter. This means that you may need to feed your pet more canned food per meal than dry food.

After the nutrients are added in the emulsification process, will there be any loss in sterilization after high temperature and high pressure? How to avoid this?


Experiments have found that nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin E are lost at a rate of approximately 50% after treatment in a high temperature and pressure environment. But, for example, like the magnesium content, the content increases instead after heating up. This is why professional technicians are result-oriented, calculate losses precisely in advance, optimise the recipe, with more vitamin, less magnesium, etc., and achieve the final ideal state after high temperatures and pressures.

Why are complete cans high in water content too? Why does Meng Pet advertise a 0 meat powder?


All kinds of meat powders serve as an additive and flavouring agent in the process of production and processing. It is difficult to control the additives and even more impossible to determine the source of the meat. This is why Meng Pet has forgone the use of meat meal and gone straight to higher quality and safer raw meat at all costs. Less expensive cans will have meat meal added to reduce costs, but there is a risk to the pets that eat them directly. As for water, the vast majority of raw materials for complete food cans are meat, such as chicken, beef and fish meat, which contains over 70% water in its natural raw, untreated stage. For high quality cans, they will be controlled to less than 10% or not even a drop of water in the post chopping and emulsifying process with stock, and cans made directly from meat will still have a moisture content of over 70%.

At which link are the nutrients added to the complete and balance food can?


During the links of soup preparation, chopping and emulsification.

Why is the complete food can in a mousse paste and not a large piece of meat?


The main purpose of adding meat in mashed form is to adjust palatability through the process of chopping and emulsifying. Also, if it is in chunky meat, then it will definitely cause unevenness in the addition of nutrients, as some pets do when they just eat the meat and don't want to drink the soup, which can easily cause malnutrition. So the can contents are in the form of a mousse paste, which is a good solution to the problem of mixing the nutrients. And it is very friendly to older pets who are fussy eaters, too lazy to chew or have oral problems.

Why do some cans have gums in them and what are they? How does the Meng Pet cans contain zero gum?


The main purpose of adding gum to cans is to reduce the cost. If there is more gum, the actual contents can be reduced. A small amount of human-grade gum is fine. It stabilizes the shape of the can, so that the meat inside the treat can does not fall apart easily after transport and the customer opens the can with its contents intact. However, some particularly poor tins have excessive amounts of gum that are not food grade, and when pets eat these tins, their digestive system can be seriously affected over time. Therefore, all that can be said is to try to reduce the risk of harm by minimising the consumption of gummy products. That's why Meng Pet complete and treat cans have been upgraded to ensure that they are in good condition when they reach the customer, with zero gum added to the canning process.
