REAL ANIMAL PROTEINS

WHOLE GRAINS AND FIBER

THE BENEFITS OF NATURAL INGREDIENTS

OUR TEAM OF NUTRITION EXPERTS

Real Animal Proteins are the #1 Ingredient*

Our chicken, whole brown rice & oatmeal formula dog foods feature great-tasting, U.S.-farm-raised chicken as the #1 ingredient. This animal protein delivers the amino acids necessary to build muscle and maintain a healthy metabolism.

Real chicken also is the first ingredient in NATURAL CHOICE^® Chicken & Whole Brown Rice Cat Food Formulas to help build strong muscles in cats.
Our lamb meal & rice formula dog foods use real Australian and New Zealand lamb meal and whole brown rice to provide optimal nutrition without added ingredients that could cause digestive issues.
Our dog foods with fish meal feature seasonally caught fish that are a novel animal protein and are rich in omega-3 fatty acids for optimal nutrition.

We also offer a variety of real fish protein as the first ingredient in our cat foods. Salmon is rich in essential fatty acids and amino acids for strong muscles. White fish, tuna and our other fish proteins help build muscles and provide a great taste that cats will enjoy.

* Real poultry or fish is the first ingredient in NATURAL CHOICE^® Dry Cat Food and Loaf Cat Formulas. Real poultry, fish, lamb or venison is the first ingredient in NATURAL CHOICE^® Dry Dog Food.

Whole Grains and Fiber

Whole grains, such as whole rolled oats and oatmeal, are nutrient-dense foods that nourish a healthy digestive system for proper nutrient absorption.
Wholesome oatmeal is high in soluble fiber, which helps ease digestion. This makes it an ideal ingredient for pets with sensitive stomachs.
Blending whole grains, such as whole brown rice and oatmeal, provides sustained energy for physically active pets.
We blend fiber sources with the right protein level to help pets feel full, which can reduce their overall food intake to aid in weight management and weight loss.

The Benefits of Natural Ingredients

Our high-quality, natural formulas are fortified with vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients. See what we include in our food to help provide complete nutrition and health benefits for your pet.

Omega-6 Fatty Acid and B Vitamins
Omega-6 fatty acid (from sources such as sunflower oil, soybean oil and chicken) and B vitamins (like niacin, biotin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine and riboflavin) combine to promote healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat.

DHA
DHA from fish oil supports brain and vision development in puppies and kittens.

Vitamin D, Calcium and Phosphorus
Vitamin D is combined with calcium and phosphorus from chicken, lamb, venison, fish and turkey meats and meat meals to promote the development of strong, healthy bones.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA and EPA from fish oil, and alpha-linolenic acid from soybean oil, help support central nervous system development, vision and a healthy heart.

Highly Digestible Carbohydrates
Highly digestible carbohydrates, from ingredients such as whole brown rice, whole grain oatmeal or nutrient-rich potatoes, make our cat and dog food easy to digest, even for sensitive stomachs.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin
Glucosamine and chondroitin, from natural sources such as chicken, lamb, venison, fish and turkey meats and meat meals, help support cartilage and joint health.

An Optimal Blend of Fibers
We combine the right ratio of both soluble and insoluble fibers, from sources such as whole brown rice, whole grain oatmeal and rice bran, for better nutrient absorption and to produce small, firm stool.

Advanced Antioxidants
Advanced antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E or beta carotene, help maintain a healthy immune system to ensure premium nutrition for your pet.
