NUTRITION JUST AS NATURE INTENDED

Simply put, raw diets provide nutrition the way nature intended.
Nature’s Variety Raw Frozen Diets are formulated like the ancestral diet with 95% meat, organs, and raw ground bone, and with wholesome fruits and vegetables. Dogs and cats are meat eaters by nature. A diet consisting primarily of raw meat, organ meats, bone, and fat reflects what your pet would eat in its natural habitat. Since dogs and cats are carnivores by nature, they thrive on a diet rich in nutritious meat.
The INGREDIENTS speak for themselves:
Chicken, Raw Ground Chicken Bone, Turkey, Turkey Liver, Turkey Heart, Apples, Carrots, Butternut Squash, Ground Flaxseed, Chicken Eggs, Broccoli, Lettuce, Spinach, Dried Kelp, Apple Cider Vinegar, Parsley, Honey, Salmon Oil, Olive Oil, Blueberries, Alfalfa Sprouts, Persimmons, Duck Eggs, Pheasant Eggs, Quail Eggs, Inulin, Rosemary, Sage, Clove.Visit the Ingredient Glossary to learn about each ingredient.

The Gold Standard – Real, Fresh, and 100% Natural
Proper nutrition can help pets attain – and maintain – a healthy body and a happy life.  Many of the benefits of optimal nutrition include a lush & glossy coat, healthy skin, lean muscle tone, a robust immune system, strong bones and teeth, a healthy heart, proper digestion, and increased energy & vitality.

At Nature’s Variety, we believe natural is best – and a raw (uncooked) diet is as natural as you can get!  Since raw diets provide nutrition the way nature intended, they are truly “the gold standard” of nutrition for your special pets.  Cooking food causes proteins to denature, and many become distorted or damaged, essentially destroying their biochemical identity.  We believe raw diets are superior to cooked diets because the proteins, vitamins, and minerals are more intact and more bio-available, meaning they are available for your pet to utilize and benefit from.  Additionally, raw meat is about 60-70% moisture, and is an excellent source of dietary water. Adequate water intake is considered by many veterinarians to be the first line of defense against kidney and urinary disease.

When we say 100% natural, we mean just that!  We do not use synthetic vitamins or minerals in our Raw Frozen Diets. Every ingredient is real, fresh, and thoughtfully included to create a complete and balanced diet.

Nature’s Variety Instinct Raw Frozen Diets are available in a variety of unique proteins, including chicken, beef, lamb, bison, rabbit, venison, and organic chicken – nourishing pets with the delicious, natural tastes as nature intended for them.  Our Instinct Raw Frozen Diets are also available in a variety of convenient sizes, making them quick and easy to serve.

What are the Benefits?

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE FOOD FOR BEST HEALTH

A Raw Diet is not medicine, it’s just common sense.  When given the choice, dogs and cats prefer to eat like carnivores.  (After all, when was the last time you saw your pets cooking their food in the back yard before they ate it?) When you feed your pets a biologically appropriate raw diet, they will thrive.

Think about it… when you eat unprocessed & natural foods, you feel healthier and happier – you have more energy, you have fewer aches and pains, you sleep better at night, etc.  Our pets are no different!  They need healthy & natural foods too.  Feed them as nature intended and be prepared for a transformation in your pet’s health and happiness.

At Nature’s Variety, we consistently receive amazing transformational stories from our Instinct Raw customers. By feeding the diet intended by nature, you and your pet could experience these real results as well:

• Fewer allergies or controlled allergy symptoms


• Lush, glossy coat and healthy skin for less shedding


• Smaller, firmer stools for less backyard cleanup


• Healthy teeth and gums for better breath


• Increased energy to support vitality and health

As an easy way to try raw, Nature’s Variety offers a 0.75 lb trial size bag in Chicken Formula and Beef Formula.  Ask for it at your local retail store.
