Beef
Beef is the striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac) from cattle (Bos taurus) and is an excellent source of protein, with many essential nutrients (including high levels of zinc and iron) to help maintain stamina and heart health. Beef is a complete protein meaning it contains all essential amino acids required by dogs and cats.
Beef hearts are a nutrient-rich striated muscle meat, and are a good source of thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, Vitamin B6, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and most importantly taurine.
Beef kidneys are a mineral rich organ, with high protein and little fat.
Beef liver is a nutrient-rich organ meat, and is a good source of lean protein, Vitamin A, and other vitamins and minerals. The liver is a multi-faceted organ and while it does participate in detoxification of the body, these toxins do not build up in the liver tissue– they are voided. As a result, liver is safe to consume in appropriate quantities.
Blood
The nutritional content of raw blood: Each nutrient required for the nutrition of every cell in the body is found in blood...so carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, salts, fats, iron, glucose, calcium and phosphorus to name a few are found in whole raw blood. There is about 150g of haemoglobin per liter, which translates to about 600 Calories per liter of blood from protein content, and about 160 mg/L of iron. Blood is the bodies transport system for these nutrients hence we add it back it is the most nutrient rich part of the K9 Natural Diet.
Broccoli
Is a plant of the cabbage family, Brassicaceae. It is high in vitamin C, calcium, and soluble fiber, and also contains multiple nutrients, making broccoli a "super food" to support health and wellness.
Carrots
Are technically tubers or the nutrient-engorged roots of the carrot plant, a member of the parsley family. Carrots are a source of important vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids to help support the immune system and digestive system. They may also help support proper skin and eye health.
Spinach
(Spinacia oleracea) is an annual flowering plant in the family of Amaranthaceae. Spinach is a rich source of a plethora of nutrients including calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, magnesium, folic acid, and several vital antioxidants.
Cabbage
Brassica oleracea, is descended from a leafy wild mustard plant native to the Mediterranean region. Cabbage is an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and beta-carotene. Cabbage is a rich source of anti-cancer phytonutrients and may help with detoxification.
Pumpkin
Is a fruit of the species Cucurbita pepo or Cucurbita mixta. Although the pumpkin is botanically classified as a fruit (the ripened ovary of a flowering plant), it is widely regarded as a fiber and carotenoid dense vegetable. Pumpkin flesh is a good source of beneficial fiber, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C.
Chicken Eggs
Often known as one of the best complete foods, eggs provide a complete amino acid profile including other essential nutrients necessary to ensure optimal health. K9 Natural includes eggs with shells in our diets for more natural calcium and to ensure a better and more complete nutrient profile.
Venison
Is an iron rich alternative meat protein from the striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac) of farmed venison. Venison is a complete protein meaning it contains all essential amino acids and can be a healthy solution for pets with allergies to other protein sources.
Freeze dried lamb
Is simply our high quality striated lamb muscle that has undergone the natural freeze drying process. Freeze drying is a food preservation process that requires no chemicals or additives and effectively retains the nutritional value, color, flavor and cellular structure of the food. It is a process whereby frozen food is placed under a vacuum and water in the form of a gas is sublimated off.
Freeze dried lamb hearts
Are a striated, nutrient-rich muscle meat and is a good source of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, Vitamin B6, phosphorus, iron and zinc. Freeze dried lamb hearts have undergone the natural freeze drying process. Freeze drying is a food preservation process that requires no chemicals or additives and effectively retains the nutritional value, color, flavor and cellular structure of the food. It is a process whereby frozen food is placed under a vacuum and water in the form of a gas is sublimated off.
Freeze dried lamb liver
Is a nutrient-rich organ meat, and is a good source of protein, Vitamin A and other vitamins/minerals. Freeze dried lamb liver has undergone the natural freeze drying process. Freeze drying is a food preservation process that requires no chemicals or additives and effectively retains the nutritional value, color, flavor and cellular structure of the food. It is a process whereby frozen food is placed under a vacuum and water in the form of a gas is sublimated off.
Freeze dried bone chips
Is an excellent source of minerals, essential fatty acids, proteins, and enzymes, and has always been important part of a dog and cat's natural diet. Bone contains calcium and some phosphorus in the correct ratio and is the most bio-available source. It is also a significant source of Glucosamine and Chondroitin, naturally occurring compounds associated with joint health. The bone has undergone the natural freeze drying process. Freeze drying is a food preservation process that requires no chemicals or additives and effectively retains the nutritional value, color, flavor and cellular structure of the food. It is a process whereby frozen food is placed under a vacuum and water in the form of a gas is sublimated off.
Garlic
Is a flavoring/herb from the garlic plant (Allium sativum), a member of the lily family. Garlic is often used in culinary applications and in herbal medicine. Garlic contains powerful sulphur compounds such as allicin and diallyl, which may support the cardiovascular and immune systems. Garlic also possesses antioxidant properties and is extremely palatable. K9 Natural adds a tiny amount of garlic to provide micro nutrients one of which is selenium.
Apple
Is the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree. They are rich in Vitamin C as well as a host of other unique antioxidant and botanical compounds such as flavonoids. Apples provide both soluble and insoluble fiber, some vitamin C, beta carotene, potassium and boron.
