  18. Why Organic Dog food? People who switch to organic foods report a boost in their energy levels. Their complexions improve and rashes clear up. They catch fewer colds, suffer fewer allergies. They recover quicker from illnesses. If the health benefits of eating organic works for us, why not our pets? Reduction of skin ailments and allergies. Wenaewe is free of artificial colors and flavor enhancers, chemical additives and toxic pesticides that could be the source of your dog’s allergies. Wenaewe also contains top quality protein and grain sources with exceptional nutritional value. This supports your dog’s immune system to help build resistance to skin infections. • More energy and a healthy weight. • Since organic foods are naturally more nutritious, many owners report their dogs eat less organic dog food than other commercial varieties. Wenaewe doesn’t contain bulk-fillers, so your dog consumes only what it needs to maintain healthy energy levels and life functions. It tastes better to your dog, too! Dogs feel more satiated eating smaller amounts of tasty, nutrient-dense foods. An organic diet can help your dog lose weight and exercise more. While typically slightly more expensive, the value of the food greatly diminishes the need for veterinarian bills • Better overall health and stronger immunity. • Organic dog food provides better quality sources of nutritional substances than even the non-organic, premium brands. It is more digestible for dogs. Dogs are likely to absorb rather than eliminate more of the nutrients they require to maintain a healthy immune system. Boosting your dog’s immunity may help prevent costly infections and illnesses that require veterinarian care. • Quality of Life and Longevity. • By feeding organic food you can help ensure your dog lives a long, happy and healthy life. A full, healthy diet is one ingredient in an overall healthy lifestyle you can help your dog enjoy. A luxurious, shiny coat, energy to run and play, a healthy weight and a strong immune system can maximize your dog’s life expectancy and quality of life into old age. [ back ]

  19. 12 Benefits of Wenaewe Comprehensive testing in Uruguay, Japan and the United States have all pointed to unique levels of health benefits. Feeding studies for palatability also prove that there is no contest to the fresh, healthy and natural taste. [ back ]

  20. The Erro Story From the beginning, Erro has been closely linked to the everyday people that work the land. Now, 63 years later we are still selling grain, seeds, animal feed and fresh cold pressed oils. Since 1947, on soils of Dolores, nestled in an area blessed by nature, Erro Company was born. Established initially as a service for producers, after years of fruitful work with people every day working the fields, Erro developed into the vast agricultural company that it is today. [ back ]

  21. Our Control • 100% Control • Erro company is the owner of the Wenaewe brand and controls production from start to finish. From the harvesting of seeds, to development of crops through the harvest, storage, transport, processing and bagging. Wenaewe is even shipped in Erro trucks where it is placed onto a vessel for exportation. [ back ]

  22. Certificates Within the Organic Community we are in the most privileged position. In addition to our world class organic raw materials, strict control allows us to place ourselves in the organic food category with utmost esteem. OIA, IFOAM, USDA, and OTA guarantee our product. Our quality control department includes a State-of-the-Art laboratory with the most advanced, computerized product testing capabilities. Testing data is supported by independent outside verification tests, inspections by SGS, OIA (extension of USDA-NOP), Uruguayan Ministries of Agriculture and Sanitation as well as EU auditors.

  26. The effects of processing on pet food nutrition: the formulators dilemma . . . • All dry pet foods are produced through the extrusion process. Extrusion is a predominate application in food processing. Products such as pastas, breakfast cereals, cookie dough, baby food, dry pet food and ready-to-eat snacks are mostly manufactured by extrusion. • In the extrusion process, raw materials are first ground to the correct particle size (usually the consistency of coarse flour). The dry mix is passed through a pre-conditioner, where steam is injected to start the cooking process. • The preconditioned mix is then passed through an extruder, and then forced through a die where it is cut to the desired length. The cooking process takes place within the extruder where the product produces its own friction and heat due to the pressure generated (10–20 bar). The cooking process utilizes a process known as starch gelatinization. • Use of the extrusion cooking process gives the following food benefits: • Starch gelatinization – better digestibility. • Destruction of naturally occurring toxins • Diminishing of microorganisms in the final product • Erro uses this process with the state of the art addition of fresh meat and vegetable inclusion. Inclusion is where the meat and vegetables are added as a fresh slurry into the pre-conditioner prior to final cooking. There are several benefits of this process: • Allows for human grade ingredients to be added at the best possible time in process to maintain best possible benefit of these organic ingredients. • Fresh ingredients are of higher nutritional value. • Fresh ingredients results in a higher palatable product. • Fresh ingredients increase the digestibility of the food. Inclusion Process [ back ]

  27. What IS in it What is NOT in it • As important as the excellent combination of ingredients included in Wenaewe® are the ingredients we have left out of our diet. All of them are known to cause a variety of conditions among the canine population. Wenaewe® Does Not Contain: Corn Dairy Products Soy Artificial Flavors Wheat Chemical Preservatives By-Products Genetically Modified Products Animal By Products Anti Allergen Effort [ back ]

  29. The Zuni people The Zuni (also spelled Zuñi by the Spanish and in early 20th century ethnological texts) or A:shiwi (as the Zuni refer to themselves in their own language) are a Native American tribe, one of the Pueblo peoples, most of whom live in the Pueblo of Zuni on the Zuni River, a tributary of the Little Colorado River, in western New Mexico, United States. Zuni is 55 km (35 miles) south of Gallup, New Mexico. According to the 2000 Census, there were approximately 7,790 people in the zip code of the Zuni reservation, with 7619 living in either the statistical areas of Zuni or Blackrock. Tribal estimates for the entire reservation run from 10,000 to 12,000. with over 80% being Native Americans, with 43.0% of the population below the poverty line as defined by the U.S. income standards. They are known for their unique culture and cuisine. [ back ]

  30. Reducing Air Emissions: Sea Transport is by far the most energy efficient and environmentally-friendly mode of transportation Our entry points to the USA are Long Beach, CA and Baltimore, MD.
