Nutrients vs Ingredients
Where Other Diets Fall Short
Other industry diets meet the nutrient profiles needed to address a disease state but do so using poor-quality ingredients like meat meals, corn, and a lengthy list of synthetic nutrients.
We know that when an animal is sick, nutrition matters most and that you can support a cancer dog through a therapeutic, whole food diet.
