Superfoods

Superfoods are unique foods that are particularly high in nutritional value. These ingredients, including kale, chia seed, pumpkin and blueberries, are sources of key nutrients, such as antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and proteins. Superfoods help provide more complete nutrition for your pet.

Antioxidants

Powerful antioxidants and phytonutrients from superfoods such as blueberries, oranges, spinach and carrots help to support the immune system and a healthy lifestyle.

DHA

Salmon oil provides DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), an omega-3 fatty acid that is important for brain and vision development in puppies. During nursing, DHA is passed from the mother to the puppy through the mother’s milk.

Omega Fatty Acids

The superfoods chia seed and coconut, along with added flaxseed, provide the omega fatty acids that are essential for healthy skin, a shiny coat and overall well-being.

Digestive Support

A blend of soluble and insoluble fibers from chia seed, pumpkin, dried kelp and coconut, combined with prebiotic fiber from dried chicory root, helps support a healthy digestive system.

With Cage-free Chicken

Chicken, along with chia seed and quinoa, provides protein for bones and muscles and lots of energy, helping your puppy stay active and fit.

Vegetables and Fruits

Brightly colored vegetables and fruits like kale, blueberries, carrots and papaya provide an excellent spectrum of phytonutrients and an array of vitamins.
