Recipe FAQs
What is Chicken Meal? Chicken meal is considered a meat concentrate and contains nearly 300% MORE protein than fresh chicken, which is why we use it in this recipe.
Why use chicken fat? It’s a pure fat to use as a quality ingredient because it is high in linoleic acid and is an omega-6 fatty acid that is essential to a pet’s life!
Why are we by-product free? By-Products & poultry by-products contain animal parts other than meat including organs, brain, blood, bone, intestines, feet, etc. Nature’s Select Recipes contain absolutely NO by-products in our pet food. This recipe is NOT recommended for puppies or young dogs, as it contains glucosamine which can impact their growth.
