Alleva Online Pet Store: High-quality pet food for all your pet's needs

When looking for an online pet store, the ability to shop from the comfort of your own home is just one of the factors to consider. To choose the most suitable food for a dog or cat, it’s important to have access to a clearly organized selection, reliable information, and formulas designed for different nutritional needs.

In fact, a pet’s diet accompanies it through the various stages of life and may require specific characteristics depending on age, size, or particular needs. A specialty store should therefore help pet parents navigate the various options, rather than leaving the choice solely to the sheer number of products available.

This is the principle behind Alleva Store, where formulas are developed to meet the diverse needs of dogs and cats, and the product lineup is organized into nutritional lines with different characteristics.

Alleva: a nutritional philosophy based on the animal's needs

For Alleva, developing dog and cat food means starting with nutrition and an understanding of the animal’s needs. Our philosophy is based on combining high-quality ingredients and phytonutrients, with a product development approach grounded in scientific research.

Scientific research underpinning the formulations

Research is one of the central elements of our approach Alleva. We rely on scientific data to develop our nutritional concepts and conduct studies in collaboration with our in-house laboratory, external laboratories, professors, and institutions, through 100% cruelty-free practices.

This approach allows us to consider the formulation as a whole, from the selection of ingredients to the characteristics of the finished product. The in-house laboratory is equipped to analyze both raw materials and finished food products, while the production facility is ISO 9001-certified.

The Selection of Raw Materials

The quality of a food product starts with the raw ingredients. We evaluate not only the origin of the ingredients, but also how they are processed and the characteristics of their molecular structure. We also select suppliers based on their production processes and the level of integration of their processing activities.

We pay special attention to protein sources: we subject them to microbiological testing to verify their freshness and safety and to analyses designed to determine their digestibility and amino acid composition. Fat sources, such as fish oil and chicken fat, are also analyzed and preserved with natural antioxidants, with careful attention paid to the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3.

Active Ingredients and Phytonutrients

We also use phytonutrients and ingredients of natural origin, selected based on the role they can play within the various recipes. Depending on the formulation and product line, these include ingredients such as aloe vera, ginseng, pumpkin, fruits and vegetables, and specific blends of aromatic herbs.

Their inclusion is determined based on the characteristics of each individual formulation: we develop our recipes by considering the combination of all their components and the nutritional role each one can play, without isolating a single ingredient from the rest of the food.

A production process designed to preserve nutritional value

The production process is also part of our philosophy. We subject our foods to a gentle heat treatment using steam cooking, which we incorporate into the production process to enhance digestibility and preserve the nutritional qualities of the selected ingredients.

Made in Italy

We produce our foods in Italy, in the Po Valley region, which is the source of a significant portion of the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats we use in our recipes. The selection of suppliers and the attention we devote to production processes are integral to our approach to product development and allow us to keep raw ingredients at the heart of our food development.

Alleva: Four Nutritional Approaches for Different Needs

We developed our product lines based on a specific principle: every dog and every cat has nutritional needs that can vary depending on age, physical activity, individual characteristics, and specific requirements. That’s why we’ve organized our product range into four lines, all produced entirely in Italy, each with a specific nutritional approach: Holistic, Natural, Equilibrium and Care.

Understanding the differences between these options allows you to make a more informed choice when selecting food and to identify the formula that best suits your pet's needs.

Alleva Holistic: Italian excellence powered by phytonutrients

With Alleva Holistic we have developed an ultra-premium line, designed to provide a complete, grain-free diet for dogs and cats. The formulas feature a high protein content, ideal for animals with a carnivorous metabolism. Furthermore, they are developed with the support of animal nutrition specialists.

We carefully select our ingredients—some of which come from local farms—and process them using gentle steam cooking, which we use to preserve their nutritional value. Our recipes feature fresh and dehydrated meat, as well as a variety of protein sources, including chicken, duck, lamb, venison, and ocean fish.

Our " Holistic " philosophy also includes the use of phytonutrients and natural natural ingredients,, along with the exclusion of grains, gluten, and GMOs. The variety of recipes allows you to choose from different protein sources and formulations, while maintaining the line’s comprehensive approach.

The Animal-based sources undergo microbiological analysis and amino acid content assessments, while the ingredients are processed using steam-cooking technology.

The " Natural " line is designed to meet the varying needs of dogs, taking into account factors such as age, breed, health status, and activity level. We also use brown rice, pumpkin, and phytonutrients in our formulations; pumpkin is one of the defining features of the line, along with the use of a single protein source in each specific recipe.
