New Zealand beef meal is the single animal protein source, derived from pasture-raised animals without added hormones or antibiotics. Two potato varieties serve as the primary carbohydrate sources, replacing grains and peas entirely. Dried yeast contributes additional protein and palatability. Chicken fat is included for coat health and flavor, and is processed free of protein to minimize allergen risk. Blueberries, cranberries, and raspberries are included for their natural antioxidant properties. No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives are used in this formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNutritional Positioning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula is complete and balanced, meeting the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance. The high animal-based protein content from beef meal and cultured protein supports muscle maintenance and overall vitality. Potato-based carbohydrates provide sustained energy without grain or legume allergens. Taurine is included to support heart and eye health. This is not a therapeutic or prescription diet - consult your veterinarian for dogs with diagnosed medical conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTexture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a standard dry kibble format.
