Made in Canada with fresh never frozen animal ingredients, Nutrience Grain Free closely mimics a carnivore’s ancestral diet.
Multiple sources of meat are combined with healthy fats, fruits, vegetables and botanicals while grains are replaced with low-glycemic sweet potatoes and lentils*. It’s an excellent choice for pets with a particularly active lifestyle or for pet parents who simply prefer to feed their pets a grain free diet. This grain- and gluten-free formulation offers:
Rich in Animal Protein:
MULTIPLE sources of animal ingredients, including deboned pork, lamb & duck, provide protein and essential amino acids for overall health, maintenance and growth, without the use of chicken, turkey, egg or fish proteins.
Low-Glycemic Carbohydrates:
Grains have been replaced by lentils and sweet potatoes, selected for their nutritional value and low-glycemic properties. Low-glycemic carbohydrates, which slow or lower glucose release into the bloodstream, may lower the risk of diabetes and help prevent obesity.
*Low-glycemic sweet potatoes & lentils = 55 or less on the Glycemic Index
Coconut Oil & Marine Source Omega 3:
COCONUT OIL (a medium-chain triglyceride) is a rich source of energy and prized for its wealth of nutritional benefits, while salmon oil, our primary source of omega-3 fatty acids, helps maintain a healthy skin and coat.
Wholesome Fruits, Vegetables & Botanicals:
WHOLE fruits, vegetables & botanicals contain rich antioxidant and phytonutrient properties. These include pumpkin, butternut squash, carrots, spinach, broccoli, apples, blueberries, cranberries, pomegranate, juniper berry extract, ginger, fennel, chamomile, peppermint leaf, licorice root and turmeric.
Recognized by the Glycemic Research Institute (GRI):
Certified low glycemic and diabetic pet friendly by the GRI, a professional clinical research organization specializing in glycemic index testing.
Marine Source Omega-3:
Salmon oil and coldwater Atlantic herring are used as the primary sources of DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids, to contribute to a healthy skin and coat.
Nutritional Supplements:
Powerful prebiotics and probiotics provide a greater absorption of nutrients and help maintain a healthy digestive tract, while glucosamine and chondroitin support hip & joint health.
Ingredient Sources:
65% premium animal ingredients • 35% fruits & vegetables • 0% grain
