At a Glance

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.

Marine omega-3 source (EPA/DHA direct)

This food includes a marine omega-3 source like fish oil or salmon oil, which delivers EPA and DHA directly. Plant sources like flaxseed only provide ALA, which pets convert very poorly.
