INGREDIENTS:
Rabbit MealRabbit meal is a high quality, highly digestible, single protein source that contains only muscle meat, no meat byproducts. It is a concentrated protein (3X more protein on a dry matter basis) packed with amino acids that also provides essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals for muscle development, organ function, and energy., PeasA great source of nutrients like iron, vitamins A & K, and potassium. They are also a good source of magnesium and phosphorus, which are important for blood, bone and muscle health. They also contain antioxidants such as flavonoids, the carotenoid lutein, and polyphenols. Peas are also an excellent source of the antioxidant and phytonutrient glutathione, which is important for many functions in the body, including regulating immune response., Pea ProteinA good source of vegetable protein derived from peas., RabbitRabbit contains more protein than just about any other commonly-used meat found in pet food. It also tends to be lower in calories and is nearly cholesterol free. The essential amino acids and healthy fats found in rabbit meat are necessary for tissue repair, help boost the immune system, maintain healthy joints and promote a shiny, soft coat. It is also a relatively new protein added to the list of pet food options – introducing an unfamiliar protein is a great way to reset an animal’s system if they have become intolerant of other protein sources., Sunflower OilSunflower oil contains a high level of linoleic acid produced by expressing the oils of sunflower seeds. Sunflower oil is low in saturated fat, which makes it a better choice than oils and fats that are high in saturated fat. Sunflower oil is used to provide essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are fats that must be supplied in the diet because the body cannot produce them. They are required for normal growth and functioning of the cells, muscles, nerves, and organs and the production of prostaglandins. Deficiencies of EFAs are linked to a variety of health problems, including heart disease, cancer and diabetes., Natural FlavorA flavor enhancer derived from natural sources in place of rendered fats., Calcium CarbonateAn excellent source of highly bioavailable calcium. Calcium is essential in maintaining healthy bones and teeth., SaltA natural source of the minerals sodium and chloride, which are essential nutrients required by both dogs and cats. They help regulate water balance in the body, aid in muscle contraction and regulate the body’s acid-balance., Choline ChlorideA source of choline, a water-soluble nutrient, essential for proper nerve function including memory and muscle control., Vitamins (Niacin SupplementA source of vitamin B3 which is essential for health. Your pet's body uses niacin to help turn food into energy., Vitamin E SupplementA fat-soluble vitamin and a potent antioxidant that helps improve circulation and cardiac output., Vitamin A SupplementA fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for healthy skin, coat and eyes/vision., Thiamine MononitrateA source of vitamin B1.

Pyridoxine is essential for the metabolism of proteins. It acts as a cofactor for the large number of enzymes involved in the synthesis of amino acids and metabolism., Vitamin D3 SupplementA fat-soluble vitamin, which promotes healthy skin, bones and teeth. It is necessary for the proper absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus., RiboflavinA source of vitamin B2. Riboflavin is important for the digestion of fats and carbohydrates, and also promotes healthy skin and coat., Vitamin B12 SupplementA B vitamin also known as cyanocobalamin. Vitamin B12 is a coenzyme in nucleic acid, protein and lipid synthesis., Folic AcidA B vitamin also known as vitamin B9. Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in various cellular functions., Biotin)A source of vitamin B7; occasionally it may also be referred to as vitamin H. Biotin plays an important role in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. It is especially important as it promotes the normal health of skin and coat., TaurineTaurine is an amino acid required by both dogs and cats.

It is important for vision and cardiac health., Minerals (Zinc ProteinateA chelated source of zinc. Zinc is an essential mineral the supports healthy skin and coat. It helps maintain a normal sense of taste and smell, aids in the maintenance of a healthy immune system and helps in the synthesis of DNA and RNA., Iron ProteinateA chelated source of iron. Iron is an essential mineral for prevention of anemia and stimulating the production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the red blood cell pigment that carries oxygen throughout the body., Copper ProteinateA chelated source of copper. Copper promotes normal red blood cell formation, aids in the production of several enzymes involved in respiration, and promotes proper connective-tissue formation., Manganese ProteinateA chelated source of manganese. Manganese is an essential mineral and is necessary for proper formation and maintenance of connective tissue., Sodium SeleniteA source of the essential mineral selenium. Selenium is a potent antioxidant and works in conjunction with vitamin E., Calcium Iodate)A source of the essential mineral iodine necessary for proper thyroid function, which produces and secretes hormones. A healthy thyroid controls metabolism rate., Potassium ChlorideA source of potassium important for acid-base balance and a healthy nervous system., Mixed Tocopherols (Preservative)A natural antioxidant and vitamin E source that is used to slow the oxidation process of fats and oils in order to maintain freshness., dl-MethionineA supplement of methionine, which is important for skin and coat condition, vision, cardiovascular health and more. Methionine can also be converted into glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, which is important for many functions in the body, including regulating immune response. It is an amino acid that is vitally important to the long-term health of pets., Marine Microalgae Oil (Algal Oil)(Source of EPA & DHA)Marine microalgae oil is a sustainable alternative to fish oil and a highly-concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Rosemary ExtractA natural preservative and flavoring agent.
