Ingredients

Antibiotic-Free Meat (72.17%): Lamb, Lamb Heart, Lamb Liver.

Organic Vegetables (24.43%): Organic Sweet Potato, Organic Lettuce, Organic Squash (seasonal), Organic Cabbage, Organic Parsley.

Special Nutrient Mix (3.4%): Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Proprietary Vitamin and Mineral Mix.

Key Benefits

Lamb is rich in Zinc, a mineral that affects many fundamental processes, including that of immune functioning. While seldom mentioned, at approximately 50% the amount provided by codfish or tuna (ounce-for-ounce basis) grass-fed Lamb can be a significant source of omega-3 fats. Grass-fed lamb also contains valuable amounts of CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), a health supportive fatty acid.

Organ Meats

(42%): Lamb Hearts and Lamb Livers. They are a nutrient-rich striated muscle meat, and are a good source of Zinc, the mineral that is most known for maintaining immune function, and which also helps stabilize your body’s metabolic rate and blood sugar levels.

Hormone-free and Antibiotic-free

Our Natural Selections Lamb is raised grass-fed 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

We include the important minerals Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc and Iron Proteinates, Sea Salt
and Vitamin E from natural sources in easily absorbable forms.

Oils

Our lamb meals for dogs have a small amount of Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, which provides an
important balance of Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids in the meal. We also add wild caught Alaskan Cod
Liver Oil, as 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.
