Ingredients: Whole Mackerel Hoki Whole Southern Blue Whiting New Zealand Green Mussel Blackfoot Abalone Fish Broth Additional inclusions: Marine Microalgae Oil Dried Organic Kelp Dandelion Greens Rosehips Green Tea Leaf Elder Flowers Dried Chicory Root Parsley Rosemary Extract Dried Bacillus subtilis Preservatives: Mixed Tocopherols Nutrients and benefits: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids: Found throughout the body, especially the brain and eyes. As you might expect, these nutrients are crucial for supporting healthy brain function, growth, and development (particularly for puppies and kittens). But they also play an important role in helping your pet's blood vessels, heart, immune system, and lungs work properly. They're also great for supporting healthy skin and coat. Poultry is an important source of Omega-6 fatty acids, while New Zealand green mussels and other seafoods are a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Glucosamine and Chondroitin: Glucosamine is a combination of 'glucose', a sugar, and 'glutamine', an amino acid. It helps form and repair cartilage. Together, they're ideal for building healthy joints and resisting joint tissue breakdown -particularly crucial for our senior pets and puppies. Beef, lamb, poultry, and bones are a good source of these nutrients. Taurine: An amino acid and one of the building blocks of all proteins. Necessary to maintain normal vision, digestion, heart muscle function, and to maintain a healthy immune system. Dogs can make taurine, but cats rely on taurine exclusively from their diets. All animal proteins are an excellent source. Calcium: Calcium builds and maintains strong bones. But it's also needed for the heart, muscles, and nerves to function properly. In the wild, cats and dogs would eat bones along with meat to get the calcium they need. Phosphorus: Phosphorus is essential in the formation of bones and teeth, so essential for our young pups and kittens. It is needed to make protein so the body can grow, repair, and maintain its cells. Phosphorus also helps the body make ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy.Phosphorus is found in bony raw materials, which is why ZIWI Peak recipes include ground bone.Sodium: Sodium is beneficial for focus and mood, heart and blood health, weight maintenance, and fluid balance. Puppies and kittens require sodium to support healthy growth. Sources include meat and seafood, and salt. Magnesium: Magnesium plays a vital role in just about every process in the body. Important for bone mineralization, muscle contraction and relaxation (i.e. movement), and neuronal signal transduction. A source is New Zealand green mussels. If the product is not stored in its sealed bag, it can be exposed to air and/or moisture.
