Ingredients:
Herring
Herring is the clean tissue of undecomposed whole herring or herring cuttings,
either or both.
Herring is an excellent single-source protein. It is also an excellent source
of Omega 3 fatty acids. Natura uses whole, high-quality herring, which are ground
and added to the ingredient mix.
Herring Meal
Herring meal is the clean, rendered (cooked down), dried ground tissue of undecomposed
whole herring or herring cuttings, either or both, with or without the extraction
of part of the oil.
Herring meal is a good source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Natura uses the whole
herring including the oil from this excellent food fish in our cat and dog food
products.
Peas
Green peas are a variable annual leguminous Eurasian vine that is cultivated
for its rounded smooth or wrinkled edible seeds.
Green peas are a fresh vegetable source of protein and contain a good source
of vitamin A. Natura uses high-quality peas in some of our treats.
Pea Fiber
Pea fiber is an absorptive vegetable derived from cleaned and processed pea
hulls.
Pea fiber is a useful ingredient that helps regulate the bowels to help prevent
constipation or diarrhea.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is a rich source of alpha-carotene and beta-carotene, fiber, vitamins
C and E, potassium, magnesium, and pantothenic acid.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are the edible berry of the tomato plant of the nightshade family.
Sunflower Oil
(naturally preserved with mixed Tocopherols) Sunflower oil is obtained by extracting
oil from sunflower seeds.
Natura uses sunflower oil to provide the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid,
which is important for good skin and coat health.
Herring Oil
(naturally preserved with mixed Tocopherols) Herring oil is the oil extracted
from whole herring.
Herring oil provides a rich source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Because the herring
that Natura uses is of such high quality, the herring oil helps produce healthy
skin and lustrous coats.
Apples
A member of the rose family, the apple has a compartmented core and is thus
classified as a pome fruit.
Apples are an excellent source of dietary fiber. About 81% of the fiber is
soluble; most of it is of a type called pectin. Apples provide both soluble
and insoluble fiber, some vitamin C and beta carotene, and potassium and boron.
Natura uses this nutritious fruit in its whole form to obtain all of its wholesome
nutrients.
Carrots
Carrots are the roots of the carrot plant, and a member of the parsley family.
Innova dog and cat foods contain whole fresh carrots.
Potassium Chloride
A chemical compound, KCl, a colorless or white, cubic, crystalline compound
that closely resembles common salt (sodium chloride). It is soluble in water,
alcohol, and alkalies.
Potassium plays various roles in metabolism and body functions. It assists
in the regulation of the acid-base balance and water balance in the blood and
the body tissue. It assists in protein synthesis from amino acids and in carbohydrate
metabolism.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is the result of separating milk or cream into curds and whey.
The curds are drained and pressed to form the soft, white, spoonable cheese.
Cottage cheese is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, protein and vitamins.
Natura uses high-quality cottage cheese, straight from its retail container.
The cottage cheese has only trace amounts of lactose and because of its limited
inclusion in the formula, the ultimate amount of lactose in the finished product
is insignificant and would not be in sufficient supply to cause an intolerance
problem.
Dried Chicory Root
Dried Chicory Root is the dried, non-roasted root Cichorium intybus L., used
as a source of inulin, as soluble, fermentable fiber. It shall contain no less
than 50% inulin and no more than 13% moisture. Chicory Root is a thick-rooted
blue-flowered European perennial composite herb widely grown for its roots and
as a salad plant.
Commonly known as a soluble fiber, the inulin derived from the Chicory Root
is a fructooligosaccharide added to help maintain digestive tract health and
function.
Glucosamine Hydrochloride
Glucosamine hydrochloride is a compound that occurs naturally in the cartilage
cushioning the joints.
Glucosamine, together with chondroitin sulfate, is believed to support the
cartilage matrix.
Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin sulfate is a long chain carbohydrate derived from connective tissue.
Chondroitin sulfate naturally occurs in the cartilage cushioning our joints.
Given in additional amounts, with glucosamine, it is believed to attract fluid
back into joint cartilage, helping maintain the cartilage matrix.

the body.
