Fish
Our Fish line is designed as a supplemental addition to any protein, offering an easy way to bring the unique nutritional qualities of fish into your pet’s feeding program.
Fish are highly digestible and naturally rich sources of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. These are different from the omega-3 ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) found in the ground flax seed used in our Dinner recipes.
While ALA is an important plant-based omega-3, the body must convert ALA into the longer-chain EPA and DHA. That conversion is limited, making fish a direct source of these marine-derived omega-3s. For cats in particular, dietary sources of preformed EPA and DHA are especially important.
This difference is what makes Fish such a useful complement to our other proteins. Rather than simply adding more of the same nutrients, you can introduce nutritional components from an entirely different source.
Consider the taurine naturally found in heart, which is included in our red meat and poultry proteins, alongside the EPA and DHA found in fish. Pairing fish with other proteins can also bring together naturally occurring nutrients from different sources—for example, the methionine and cysteine found in fish alongside chondroitin and glucosamine-rich ingredients such as duck or chicken feet.
Different proteins bring different nutritional strengths to the bowl. Pairing them allows you to combine naturally occurring nutrients from different sources and create greater variety within your pet’s feeding program.
Fish is intended to be used as a supplemental addition or topper, rather than as a replacement for your pet’s regular Dinner or Blend. Simply add an appropriate portion to the bowl alongside their regular protein. It can be used with any of our protein options, allowing you to easily introduce the unique nutritional qualities of fish into your pet’s routine.
Salmon paired with another protein is more than simply adding another ingredient—it’s an opportunity to thoughtfully combine complementary nutritional components.
Different omegas. Different proteins. Complementary nutrition.
