Meat protein is the first ingredient in Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Grain Free. Meat proteins make up over 40% of the ingredients in each production batch of Nature's Variety. Most dry kibble diets are 25 to 30% meat or meat and bone products with some formulations even containing less than 10% or even no meat products. Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Grain Free is formulated to meet the needs of all life stages. The grains present in these diets are only whole grains; never inferior grain fractions. Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Grain Free is naturally preserved with vitamins and herbal extracts, and sealed in oxygen limiting packaging. Nature's Variety Dry Kibble provides over 50 trace minerals with a colloidal silicate called montmorillonite. Pet owners report that feeding Nature's Variety diets containing wholesome ingredients have helped produce better skin and coats, optimum weight control, and overall better health.
Nature's Variety believes many commercially available diets targeted at life stages or special needs (e.g., puppy, senior, large breed, weight control) are in effect formulation corrections designed to overcome nutritional deficiencies inherent in largely grain based diets. These nutritional deficiencies arise from least-cost manufacturing practices that utilize large amounts of low cost grain by-products such as glutens. Glutens are generally included in kibble diets as a low cost option to increase the protein content of the food without adding more meat. For this reason Nature's Variety offers a nutritionally dense kibble formula that is appropriate for all life stages based on high meat protein content and whole grains.
