Meat makes up over 40% of the ingredients. 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 Dry Kibble Diets are formulated to meet the needs of all life stages. All Nature's Variety products are naturally preserved with vitamins and herbal extracts, and sealed in oxygen limiting packaging. Nature's Variety Dry Kibble provides a source of over 50 trace minerals. A colloidal silicate called montmorillonite supplies these important trace minerals.

Feeding Guide and Instructions:Sudden changes in diet can sometimes result in digestive disturbances so always introduce any new diet over a period of days, mixing with the present diet.
