Soy Protein Concentrate (SPC)/Isolate (SPI)
-Nutritious dietary protein source for pets, providing high protein content, a well-balanced amino acid profile with high amino acid digestibility. Therefore, they are high quality alternatives to animal proteins for vegetarian dog food.
-Soy protein contains isoflavones genistein and daidzein, which have antioxidant properties and can reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and other diseases.

Brown Rice
-Brown rice is a highly digestible carbohydrate source for pets.
-The process that produces brown rice removes only the outermost layer, the hull, of the rice kernel and is the least damaging to its nutritional value. The complete milling and polishing that converts brown rice into white rice destroys 67% of the vitamin B3, 80% of the vitamin B1, 90% of the vitamin B6, half of the manganese, half of the phosphorus, 60% of the iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids.
-In our formula, the rice will be used in a wholesome form, offering a lot more health benefits than the completely milled and polished rice.

Dried Whole Ground Apple/Saskatoon Berry/Carrot/Parsley
-Fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber and various nutraceuticals. They offer all kinds of health benefits including antioxidant protection, antibacterial protection, cardiovascular protection and cancer prevention and therefore reduce the risk of chronic diseases and age-related macular degeneration.

Saskatoon Berry
-Saskatoons contain high levels of resveratrol and lutein. These help as an antioxidant, an anti-mutagen and a strong anti-inflammatory. Helps reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, anti-aging, alzheimers, cancer, suppression, influenza and flu.

- Yeast extract is a strong palatant for use in dog treats.

Sunflower Oil /Flax Oil/Ground Whole Flaxseed
-Sunflower oil supplies Omega 6 fatty acids, which promote shiny coats.
-Flaxseed oil contains 56% omega 3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation in many conditions besides allergies, including arthritis and kidney disease. Omega 3 fatty acids are also needed to produce flexible cell membranes. The body uses these fatty acids to form substances that offer protection against heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
-Flaxseeds are not only abundant in omega 3 fatty acids but also a very good source of fiber that lowers cholesterol levels, reduces the exposure of colon cells to cancer-causing chemicals, relieves the constipation or diarrhea, and helps stabilize blood sugar levels in dogs.

Kelp Meal
-This sea vegetable contains almost every mineral and trace mineral necessary for the health of dogs.
-Kelp meal also contains amino acids and vitamins.
-Kelp boosts the immune system, regulates the glands, promotes regular heat cycles, promotes a healthy coat, and detoxifies the body.

Lecithin
-Lecithin provides functional and nutritional benefits to semi-moist pet food.
-It functions as an emulsifier and a binder and acts as an antioxidant to improve the stability of the pet food.
-It enhances the absorption of other nutrients such as vitamins, mineral and dietary fats. Reported benefits to dogs including healthy looking skin and coat, and reduced stiffness and painful movement of senior dogs.

Yucca Schidigera extract
-Yucca Schidigera extract reduces offensive urine and stool odors. The extract also provides other health benefits such as improved digestion and preventing arthritis.

Inulin
-Inulin (fructooligosaccharides) acts like a fiber and it passes through the upper digestive system undigested. However, they are fermented in the large intestine and exert beneficial effects on gut health.
-Besides improving overall gut health, inulin has been reported to reduce amino acid catabolites which are associated with fecal odor and carcinogenesis in the colon.

Taurine
-Taurine is an essential nutrient for dogs and has numerous physiologic functions including bile acid conjugation, osmotic regulation, cell membrane stabilization, modulation of cellular calcium flux, neuronal excitability modulation, metabolic antioxidant capacity and xenobiotic elimination.
-They are found in meat proteins. Vegetable proteins and grains have very low to non-detectable levels of taurine.  Therefore, it needs to be added as a synthetic amino acid to meet the requirement of dogs.

Glycerol/Glucose Syrup/Potassium Sorbate/Phosphoric Acid/Citric Acid
-These are the humectants (glycerin, glucose syrup) and mold and bacteria growth inhibitors, which are essential for semi-moist products. These ingredients have been checked to make sure they do not affect palatability.

Mixed Tocopherols/Rosemary Extract
-They are natural antioxidants to preserve oils from getting rancid and maintain freshness and flavor of the product.

Molasses
