Ingredients are vehicles for nutrients. All animals big or small have daily nutrient requirements; they do not have specific food item requirements. They need protein, fat, carbohydrates/fibre, vitamins and minerals, and water, in specific amounts. By combining different ingredients, it is possible to meet the daily nutritional requirements of your dog or cat.

The best products will be formulated with highly digestible ingredients that provide the highest quality of these nutrients in an extremely palatable format. In other words, the quality of a food does not start OR end at the face value of the ingredient deck. It takes science, research, innovation, expertise, and clinical trials to provide optimal nutrition.

It’s all about nutrients! Canada’s Food Guide recommends eating a variety of foods from each food group to ensure each person meets their daily nutrient requirements. Pet food formulators use a combination of ingredients, each providing a specific set of nutrients to complete the total nutritional profile of the food. By consuming a formula that is complete and balanced, dogs and cats can meet their nutrient requirements without the need of supplements, top-dressing, or rotating diets.
