The Ingredients We Use in Our Raw Pet Food

The ingredients in Back to Basics Raw Pet Food have been carefully chosen to provide a good balance of nutrients for optimal health. We believe in a diet of whole, natural, raw foods with a few choice added supplements. Supplements are based on the modern concept of healthy life extension, together with a species appropriate diet supplements can help to avoid or alleviate the problems that modern day breeding and incorrect nutrition have caused.

Our ingredients include: Organic Chicken, Beef, Bison, Lamb, Ostrich, Eggs, Bone Meal, Organs, Green Tripe, Romaine Lettuce, Carrots, Broccoli, Celery, Apples, Pears, Cranberries, Kelp, Alfalfa, Vitamin C, Wild Alaska Salmon Oil & Apple Cider Vinegar.

Organic Chicken – An excellent source of highly digestible protein, high in amino acids and essential fatty acids. Also contains high levels of selenium, niacin and vitamin B6. A staple for many raw diets because it is affordable and easily digested in whole form due to the bones being made of mostly cartilage, which provides essential calcium and chewing exercise. Chicken backs provide a great meat to bone ratio and are also high in essential fatty acids.

Beef – Beef is high in iron and zinc, vitamin B2, B6, B12 and vitamin D. Beef necks provide great chewing exercise and calcium. Beef necks are a great soft bone, they provide a meaty meal and hours of entertainment. Don’t be alarmed if your dog eats some of the bone, this provides much needed calcium. Beef tails are also a great raw meaty bone, and are easily ingested by bigger dogs. Both beef necks and tails provide healthy, low impact exercise for the jaw, neck and shoulders, this is especially beneficial for growing dogs. These bones have a lot of meat on them and provide hours of entertainment.

Bison – Bison is leaner than beef and is high in beta carotene. Also high in iron, zinc and selenium. Bison are naturally raised with no hormones or antibiotics. Bison is considered one of natures most perfect proteins.

Lamb – Is a great protein source high in B vitamins and it is nature’s best source the amino acid carnitine, which is needed to generate energy from fatty acids. Lamb necks are a great raw meaty bone, providing lots of protein and calcium. These bones are fairly soft and can be eaten whole. A lamb neck is fairly large and is not recommended for dogs under 40 lbs.
