Raw Pronto Puppy Recipe Dog Freeze-Dried Food, 16-oz bag

1. 1

   chicken

   Real meat. Primary protein source, with the amino acid profile dogs actually evolved to eat.

   protein animal
2. 2

   chicken liver

   Organ meat. Dense in protein, iron, vitamin A, and the B vitamins. Among the most nutrient-rich ingredients a dog can eat.

   protein animal
3. 3

   beef

   Real meat. Dense in protein and iron. Some dogs are sensitive to it, but for most it's an excellent base.

   protein animal
4. 4

   salmon

   Real fish meat. Natural source of omega-3s, which kibble usually has to add back from oil.

   protein animal
5. 5

   squash

   Real vegetable. Fiber, vitamin A, gentle on the stomach. Similar nutrition role to sweet potato.

6. 6

   kale

   Leafy green with antioxidants and fiber. Small dose in kibble, but it's not just for marketing.

   vegetable
7. 7

   carrot

   Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, antioxidants. Same as carrots, sometimes singular on labels.

8. 8

   apple

   Real fruit, some fiber and antioxidants. The amount in kibble is too small to matter much.

9. 9

   parsley

   Real herb. Trace amount of vitamins K and C. The dose in kibble is small, mostly there for label appeal.

   supplement
10. 10

    pumpkin seeds
11. 11

    sunflower seeds
12. 12

    sunflower oil

    Common plant oil. Useful in moderation for omega-6, though too much skews the omega ratio against the dog's favor.

    fat
13. 13

    blueberries

    Antioxidants, real. But the amount in any kibble is too small to do much. Mostly marketing.

    fruit
14. 14

    cranberries

    Often added with a urinary-tract-support marketing angle. Real cranberry compounds help in concentrate form, but kibble doses are small.

    fruit
15. 15

    broccoli

    Real vegetable. Adds fiber and some antioxidants. Fine in the small amounts used in kibble.

    vegetable
16. 16

    apple cider vinegar
17. 17

    dried yeast

    Natural source of B vitamins and trace minerals. Adds a savory flavor that dogs respond well to.

18. 18

    montmorillonite clay

    Natural clay used as a binder and anti-caking agent. Functional, not nutritional.

19. 19

    salt

    Sodium chloride. Required at small doses for normal physiology. Not a quality concern in standard amounts.

    mineral
20. 20

    cod liver oil
21. 21

    fish oil

    Concentrated omega-3s. The reason 'EPA' and 'DHA' get to show up on the bag.

    fat
22. 22

    coconut oil

    Saturated fat with medium-chain triglycerides. Mostly marketing in the doses kibble uses, but harmless.

    fat
23. 23

    rosemary extract

    Natural preservative. Replaces synthetic ones like BHA and BHT.

    preservative natural
24. 24

    ground alfalfa

    dried organic kelp
