     To us, knowing the nutritional value of your pet's diet should be a primary concern.      So, even though our ingredient list is rather straightforward, we feel it important
     that you understand not only what we put in our food, but why we put it there.

    We use only organic and naturally raised ingredients. Due to the freezing process
    we use instead of heat processing, 99 percent of the available nutrients, amino
    acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals present in the raw foods are maintained in     the finished product. We do not add any “replacement” additives. The Ultimate Diet     is a whole, nutritious and intact “live food”. We know you’ll see the difference in your     pets. Your pets will love it!
