beef; lamb; beef liver; beef kidney; beef heart; beef plasma; coconut oil; apples; butternut squash; sweet potato; gelatin; yeast culture; marine microalgae oil; vitamins (potassium chloride, vitamin E supplement, niacin, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin supplement, vitamin A supplement, thiamin mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, biotin, vitamin B-12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid); minerals (zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, calcium carbonate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, calcium iodate, selenium yeast); yucca schidigera extract; Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product; preserved with tocopherols

Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so the tail of the list is present in very small amounts.

    RECALL HISTORY // NUTRISOURCE

    1 FDA Recall On Record

    OCT 11, 2021
    ELEVATED LEVELS OF VITAMIN D

    Pure Vita Salmon Entrée Dog Food Matched by brand. The notice lists the exact products and lots.

    None in the last three years. Older events stay on the record. See the recall log

    SAME LINE

    Other Flavors

    Chicken & Duck 42.1%

    Protein on a dry matter basis, read the same way.

    One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, starch, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a bag. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
