Französisch Begriff oder Satz: aliment de maintenance
I'm trying to find the best translation of this in English I think "health food" is along the right lines but it doesn't sound right! any help would be appreciated it's for a marketing article about high quality dog food.

xxxCMJ_Trans: 9:34am Feb 22, 2007: context a little slim... sounds as though it is part of a several stage process and so a little more information would not go amiss
Jenny Duthie: 9:50am Feb 22, 2007: RE: aliment de maintenance - I'm translating an article promoting high quality pet food (dogs) and trying to find the best English equivalent for this expression, thanks it's 'un aliment de maintenance" and it's from a comparison study the manufacturers have carried out with other brands
Odette Grille: 9:53am Feb 22, 2007: As context, what other kind of aliments are there ?
Jenny Duthie: 10:06am Feb 22, 2007: re context - Thanks very much Odette I know "aliment" means food especially animal food I was just looking for the best way to translate the "de maintenance" part so it reads well in English!!
Claire Cox: 10:12am Feb 22, 2007: Jenny - not wishing to be funny, but can I just ask why you gave the points to Mark when I answered first? It is customary to award points to the first answer if there are two or more the same....
Mark Nathan: 10:21am Feb 22, 2007: Hi Jenny - Yes it does like like Claire beat me to it. BTW Kudoz recommends that you wait at least twenty-four hours before awarding points so that everyone has a chance to anwser. A question often "develops" when more people contribute.

maintenance (dog) food

Erklärung:
This seems to be the accepted term in English too. I thought I'd seen it on the supermarket shelves (though I'm afraid my non-pedigree dogs don't get anything quite so exalted - good old Winalot for them!)
