Nature’s Variety is passionate about improving the health of your pet through better nutrition. After careful ingredient selection and formulation, Nature’s Variety proudly introduces a new and innovative product:
Raw Instinct Grain-Free Nutrition for Dogs and Cats!
Why grain free?
Since dogs and cats instinctively crave raw meat, they will choose if over grain when given a chance. Raw Instinct is consistent with their instinctive metabolism, with MORE animal protein. A diet consisting of more meat and LESS grain fosters biologically appropriate weight control, and lean feeding leads to longer life. The natural results of higher quality nutrition include better skin and coat, healthier teeth and gums, increased energy and less backyard cleanup.
What’s in the bag?
The protein in Nature’s Variety Raw Instinct is derived from meat – primarily high quality chicken meal and menhaden fish meal. Highly digestible tapioca binds the other high quality ingredients together into a kibble. Tapioca is used because its grain free and gluten free. Potatoes have traditionally been used in "hypoallergenic" foods. Reports of grain allergic dogs, that are also now developing allergies to potatoes, have been on the rise, as well as reports of natural toxins that manifest themselves during high temperature processing. There are no known allergies to tapioca, and many veterinary teaching hospitals incorporate tapioca in homemade recipes for food allergies. The protein in Nature's Variety Raw Instinct is primarily derived from meat. Fruit and vegetables are also added as natural sources of important vitamins. These high quality, wholesome ingredients are blended together with care to meet your pet’s new instinct for a grain-free, nutrient-dense diet.
What’s NOT in the bag?
Grains, glutens, or other grain fractions, potato or other inexpensive fillers or chemical preservatives are NEVER used in Raw Instinct.
