Artemis sorts its food into two lines. Fresh Mix is a three-recipe kibble line built on chicken, chicken meal and turkey, with grain in every recipe and options for all life stages and seniors. Osopure is the grain-free line: three adult kibbles and five wet foods, each led by a named meat such as salmon, duck, lamb or beef.
Fresh Mix kibble averages 23.7% protein and 43% estimated starch as fed. Osopure kibble, built on garbanzo beans, averages 24% protein and 40.5% starch. Both sit below the 26.9% protein and above the 37.4% starch averages for dry food in our catalog. Osopure wet food averages 8% protein, near the 8.4% wet average. Every recipe in both lines lists peas or lentils. Shoppers who want grain can start with Fresh Mix; those after grain-free or wet food, with Osopure.
