Ingredient Benefits
The proteins in Nature's Variety Raw Instinct diets are derived from meat - primarily high quality chicken meal and menhaden fish meal.  Highly digestible tapioca binds the other high quality ingredients together into a kibble.  Nature's Variety uses tapioca because it is grain-free and gluten-free.  This assures you that the proteins found in Raw Instinct pet diets are primarily derived from meat.

Pumpkin seeds provide linoleic acid for skin and coat, Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, and are a natural source of fiber.  Vegetable seeds, such as pumpkinseeds, are one of the densest sources of nutrition available.  Alfalfa has unique nutritional benefits; its root system often penetrates the soil more than 20 feet deep, seeking out minierals in the subsoil not accessible to other plants.  Chelated Minerals are added to aid absorption in the digestive tract.  ("Chelated" means firmly attached, usually to an amino acid or other organic component.)  Montmorillonite clay is an additional source of trace minerals and has been shown to sequester toxins.  Fruits and vegetables are also added as natural sources of important vitamins.

These high quality, wholesome ingredients are blended together with care to meet your pet's raw instinct for a grain-free, nutrient dense diet.
