What Makes Nature's Variety Dog Food So Special?

By Anton Hout, author of The Guide to Aussie Training & Care

Nature's Variety dog food was developed with the nutritional needs of dogs in mind, no matter what their stage of life. What makes their foods unique is their reliance on raw ingredients. Nature's Variety feels that it is important to include raw ingredients as these are most similar to the natural diet that most dogs would eat in the wild. At the same time, limiting the processing and cooking of ingredients helps to retain their maximum nutritional value, making them that much healthier for your pet.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) Notice

DCM is a heart condition that has been reportedly linked to certain low carbohydrate dog foods. However, the FDA has still not confirmed a specific cause and its latest study is also inconclusive. As such, at the time of this writing (July 16, 2020) there have still not been any recalls. For further information see: FDA, Dog Food Advisor article, and an article by Daniel Schulof, the founder and CEO of KetoNatural Pet Foods, Inc. addressing potential Bad Science and Financial Conflicts of Interest Plaguing the FDA's Investigation Into "Grain-Free" Pet Foods and Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

All of the Nature's Variety products, including their "Prairie" and "Instinct" brands, are produced with the greatest possible attention to detail. They use only fresh proteins including beef, chicken, duck, salmon and rabbit as well as fruits and vegetables to ensure that your dog is getting all of the nutrients that he needs. They even include both probiotics and prebiotics to help aid in digestion and allow your dog to receive the maximum nutritional benefit from the food he eats.

While there are many companies these days that include nutritious, nature-based ingredients in their food, only Nature's Variety dog food takes the extra step of coating their dry kibble with freeze-dried raw foods and nutritious oils to enhance flavor. That way, even their dry formulas have the rich, hearty flavor of raw food. They also include wet food, frozen food, and raw treats, all produced with the same care and attention to detail.

Because they believe so strongly in the benefits of natural ingredients, Nature's Variety also makes sure to use only natural preservatives in their foods. Their kibble diets are preserved using an antioxidant mixture of Vitamin E and citric acid. For the canned food, the manufacturing process sterilizes the food so there is no need for additional preservatives. All of which ensures that your pet is getting only the best quality ingredients.

Quality is only one thing that makes Nature's Variety dog food stand out though. Since eating the same thing over and over can get boring, Nature's Variety offers not only a selection of formats, including canned, dry and frozen, but also a wide variety of flavors so that you can switch up your dog's diet and keep him excited about eating. You can choose from traditional flavors like beef and chicken or go with more 'exotic' fare like venison, duck and salmon.
