Nutrients vs Ingredients: Where Other Diets Fall Short
Other industry diets meet the nutrient profiles needed to address a disease state but do so using poor-quality ingredients like meat meals, corn, and a lengthy list of synthetic nutrients.
We know that when an animal is sick, nutrition matters most, and that you can provide a therapeutic diet with whole foods.
The proof is in the numbers.
