At a Glance

Higher protein than 73% of similar foods

Protein is the building block of strong muscles, healthy organs, and a shiny coat. This food packs more of it than most in its category.

3 named protein sources in the top ingredients

Named proteins like "chicken" or "salmon" tell you exactly what your pet is eating. Vague labels like "meat meal" leave you guessing.

Real whole meat as the first protein ingredient

When whole meat tops the ingredient list, it means protein is the star of the recipe, not an afterthought.
