Key Benefits

Chicken is rich in the trace mineral selenium, which supports thyroid health and the immune system. It also contains the cancer-protective B vitamin niacin that aids in controlling glucose levels in the body as well as converting protein, fat, and carbohydrates into usable energy. Vitamin B6 supports energy metabolism and cardiovascular health. Chicken is also a natural source of bio-available calcium, Glucosamine, and Chondroitin.

Organ Meats

(18.87%): Chicken Livers, Chicken Gizzards. Chicken liver and gizzards are a good source of lean protein, Vitamin A, and Iron.

Hormone-free and Antibiotic-free

Our Natural Selections Chicken is raised cage-free and has never been given any hormones, steroids or antibiotics, ever.

Organic Vegetables

Vegetables provide our dog foods with important fiber, minerals, and vitamins. We use only USDA Certified Organic vegetables in our Natural Selections™ meals for dogs, a mix of leafy greens, and root vegetables.

Trace Minerals & Vitamins

Trace minerals such as Zinc, Copper, Iron, and Manganese are added in Proteinate form for better bioavailability.

Oils

We use Organic Flax Seed Oil to help balance the fat profile for Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids in the meal. Wild Caught Cod Liver Oil for a natural source of Vitamin D.

What's Inside:

  • Vet-Approved Recipes

    All of our recipes have been developed and reviewed by veterinary nutritionists and are formulated to meet or exceed AAFCO guidelines.

  • Human-Grade Ingredients

    We only use fresh, whole USDA-quality ingredients when crafting your pet's meals. All of our ingredients are consciously sourced from farms we trust.

  • Minimal Processing

    When we say raw, we really mean it. We do as little as possible to process your pet's meals to maintain good bacteria and nutrient bioavailability.

FAQs

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes! We offer free shipping to most of the US on all orders over 20 lbs.

Who formulates your recipes?

Our recipes are formulated with top experts, veterinarians, and veterinary nutritionists. All of our recipes are reviewed and approved by our advisory panel of vets and vet nutritionists.

Are you ingredients ethically sourced?

Yes. All of our ingredients are sourced from farms we trust. We visit each farm regularly to ensure not only the quality of the ingredients but to ensure the farm meets are rigorous standards for humane treatment of both staff and animals.

What's the difference between BioLogics and Natural Selections?

We strive to make raw feeding as accessible as possible for as many pet parents as possible. We recognize feeding large dogs or a large pack of dogs can be expensive, and so we developed our BioLogics Line.

BioLogics uses the exact same recipes as our Natural Selections line. Both are complete and balanced for all life stages. Both are minimally processed, biologically-appropriate, and inspired by their ancestral diet. Both use human-grade ingredients only sourced from farms we trust.

The primary difference is that while Natural Selections uses only antibiotic-free meats and organic vegetables, BioLogics uses conventional ingredients. These farms still meet all of our ethical standards. But sourcing conventional ingredients for our BioLogics recipes allows us to price them about 15% lower than our Natural Selections line, making it a more accessible way to feed raw.
