Description
Fresh meat is the first ingredient in each formula of Nature's Variety Prairie Dry Kibble. In fact, meat and organs make up nearly 40% of the ingredients. Most dry, kibble diets are 25 to 30% meat or meat and bone products with some formulations even containing less than 10% or even no meat products. Formulated to meet the needs of all life stages.
All dry enrobed with heat sensitive ingredients such as probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes that are present in raw foods but destroyed through heat processing. Enzymes aid in better digestion, probiotics play a big part to ensure a healthy immune system, and prebiotics help in growth and population of probiotics in the digestive tract.
Nature's Variety kibble provides an organic source of over 50 trace minerals. A colloidal silicate called montmorillonite supplies important trace minerals. Many pet owners insist that the supplementation of these colloidal silicate minerals have helped produce better coats, weight gain, increase in milk production, better conception, and overall better health.
Nature's Variety Prairie Brand Dry Kibble Diets are designed to be rotated freely for variety and optimal nutrition. Emphasis is put on fresh meat as the first and prominent ingredient of each diet. The grains present in these diets are only whole grains; never inferior grain fractions. All Nature's Variety products are naturally preserved with vitamins and herbal extracts, and sealed in oxygen limiting packaging.
Prairie Brand Dry Kibble is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profile for All Life Stages. See below for sample ingredients and feeding guidelines.
