Additional beef components include beef kidney, beef heart, and beef blood for comprehensive organ meat nutrition. Eggs provide complete protein and essential amino acids. The formula includes New Zealand green mussel for joint support, along with nutrient-dense vegetables including pumpkin, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. Brown kelp and dried kelp provide natural minerals and trace elements. Sunflower oil and flaxseed flakes deliver essential fatty acids. The freeze-drying process preserves all nutrients and natural taste. Free from wheat, gluten, GMO ingredients, corn, soy, cereals, dairy, rice, potato, and all other fillers, ensuring a clean, grain-free formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNutritional Breakdown\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guaranteed analysis shows minimum crude protein at 46.0%, minimum crude fat at 35.0%, maximum crude fiber at 2.5%, and maximum moisture at 8.0%. This exceptionally nutrient-dense format concentrates proteins and fats through freeze-drying, creating a high-meat, low-carbohydrate diet. The extraordinarily high protein content (46%) provides rich amino acids for muscle development and overall health. The inclusion of Hoki delivers naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are essential for brain and eye development in puppies and support cognitive function in adult dogs. Organ meats provide naturally occurring vitamins and minerals including vitamin A (crucial for eye health), B vitamins, iron, and zinc. The recipe includes essential vitamins and chelated minerals (zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate) for enhanced bioavailability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLife Stage \u0026amp; Breed Suitability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplete and balanced diet suitable for all life stages.

This high-meat, low-carbohydrate diet delivers the nutritional benefits of whole prey feeding through sustainably caught New Zealand Hoki, grass-fed beef, and nutrient-rich organ meats. The combination of fish and beef proteins provides diverse amino acid profiles and exceptional omega-3 fatty acid content from Hoki. These omega-3s are particularly important for puppies, supporting healthy brain and eye development during critical growth periods. The inclusion of multiple beef components (muscle meat, organs, blood, tripe) provides diverse nutrients similar to ancestral canine diets.
