Real Animal Proteins are the #1 Ingredient*
Meet One of Our Farmers:
Elton Kennedy
Rice farmer
Our chicken, whole brown rice & oatmeal formula dog foods feature great-tasting, U.S.-farm-raised chicken as the #1 ingredient. This animal protein delivers the amino acids necessary to build muscle and maintain a healthy metabolism.
Real chicken also is the first ingredient in NUTRO™ Chicken & Whole Brown Rice Cat Food Formulas to help build strong muscles in cats.
Our lamb & whole brown rice formula dog foods feature real Australian and New Zealand lamb as the first ingredient and provide optimal nutrition without added ingredients that could cause digestive issues.
Our dog foods with fish meal feature seasonally caught fish that are a novel animal protein and are rich in omega-3 fatty acids for optimal nutrition.
We also offer a variety of real fish protein as the first ingredient in our cat foods. Salmon is rich in essential fatty acids and amino acids for strong muscles. White fish, tuna and our other fish proteins help build muscles and provide a great taste that cats will enjoy.
* Real poultry or fish is the first ingredient in NUTRO™ Dry Cat Food and Loaf Cat Formulas. Real poultry, fish, lamb or venison meal is the first ingredient in NUTRO™ Dry Dog Food.
Whole Grains and Fibre
- Whole grains, such as whole rolled oats and oatmeal, are nutrient-dense foods that nourish a healthy digestive system for proper nutrient absorption.
- Wholesome oatmeal is high in soluble fibre, which helps ease digestion. This makes it an ideal ingredient for pets with sensitive stomachs.
- Blending whole grains, such as whole brown rice and oatmeal, provides sustained energy for physically active pets.
- We blend fibre sources with the right protein level to help pets feel full, which can reduce their overall food intake to aid in weight management and weight loss.

Highly Digestible Carbohydrates Highly digestible carbohydrates, from ingredients such as whole brown rice, whole grain oatmeal or nutrient-rich potatoes, make our cat and dog food easy to digest, even for sensitive stomachs. |

Glucosamine and Chondroitin Glucosamine and chondroitin, from natural sources such as chicken, lamb, venison, fish and turkey meats and meat meals, help support cartilage and joint health. |
