At a Glance

Taurine levels above 95% of peers

Taurine supports heart and eye health. Dogs can synthesize it, but dietary taurine may be beneficial, especially on grain-free diets where a link to heart disease has been studied.

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.
