This grain-free dry diet is high in meat protein and low in carbohydrates,
which is ideally suited to cat' ancestry and biology as natural carnivores.
Since cats instinctively crave raw meat, they will choose it over grain when
given a choice. Nature's Variety Raw Instinct, with its high concentration of
animal protein, is consistent with the instinctive canine metabolism.
A rotational diet consisting of more meat and less grain fosters biologically
appropriate weight control, and lean feeding leads to longer life. The natural
results of higher quality nutrition include better skin and coat, healthier
teeth and gums, increased energy, and less litter clean-up.
The protein in Natures Variety Raw Instinct is derived from meat primarily
high quality chicken meal and menhaden fish meal. Highly digestible tapioca
binds the other high quality ingredients together into a kibble. We use tapioca
because its grain-free and gluten-free. This assures you the protein in Raw
Instinct is primarily derived from meat. Fruit and vegetables are also added as
natural sources of important vitamins. These high quality, wholesome ingredients
are blended together with care to meet your pets raw instinct for a grain-free,
nutrient-dense diet. What you won't find in this revolutionary new food is
grains, glutens, or other grain fractions, potato or other inexpensive fillers,
or chemical preservatives.

Ingredient Benefits
The proteins in Nature's Variety Raw Instinct diets are derived from
meat - primarily high quality chicken meal and menhaden fish meal. Highly
digestible tapioca binds the other high quality ingredients together into a
kibble. Nature's Variety uses tapioca because it is grain-free and
gluten-free. This assures you that the proteins found in Raw Instinct pet diets
are primarily derived from meat.
Pumpkin seeds provide linoleic acid for skin and coat, Omega 3 & 6 fatty
acids, and are a natural source of fiber. Vegetable seeds, such as
pumpkinseeds, are one of the densest sources of nutrition available. Alfalfa
has unique nutritional benefits; its root system often penetrates the soil more
than 20 feet deep, seeking out minierals in the subsoil not accessible to other
plants. Chelated Minerals are added to aid absorption in the digestive tract.
("Chelated" means firmly attached, usually to an amino acid or other organic
component.) Montmorillonite clay is an additional source of trace minerals and
has been shown to sequester toxins. Fruits and vegetables are also added as
natural sources of important vitamins.
These high quality, wholesome ingredients are blended together with care to
meet your pet's raw instinct for a grain-free, nutrient dense diet.
