Eagle Pack dog food is made with concentrated specie-specific animal protein meals from USDA passed meat. They are 11-times more protein concentrated than what other brands call "real chicken/real lamb" because other brands count the weight of the water, so your pet is getting only 30 percent "chicken" and 70 percent water.
While dogs are carnivores, they still need the energy contribution and other nutrients not found in meat. Wolves, for example, get their carbohydrate energy by eating the contents of a deer's stomach, which include predigested grains, fruit, grasses and vegetation. Fido can't go hunting for his meals, so Eagle Pack adds the carbohydrates in their formulas to provide an energy source. "If a diet lacks adequate dietary carbohydrates and amino acids, they will be shunted away from muscle growth, fetal growth and milk production in lactating animals."
Corn has only 8-12% protein and shouldn't be used as a protein source. Concentrated meat meals have up to 70% protein, which makes them ideal for the protein component of a pet food. Corn has gotten bad press because lesser quality dog foods use corn for their protein content, which is obvious when you see it listed first on the ingredient panel. Eagle Pack uses it only for its carbohydrate value and only in its Eagle Pack line, not in the Holistics Selct line. Did you know that beef, dairy and wheat account for 68% of ingredients in dog food which cause reported allergy cases? A review of 253 confirmed cases of food allergy in veterinary literature revealed only 6 were caused by corn.
What about the 8+ Added Custom Supplements? Let's take a look at some of the added supplements:
Probiotics are friendly bacteria, a lot like what's in yogurt, only more concentrated. They help prevent digestive upset, boost immune function and aid digestion.
Prebiotics selectively promote the growth of friendly bacteria and modulate blood sugar levels. They boost the immune system, drive out pathogens like E. Coli, decrease respiratory tract infection and prevent reoccurrence of Irritablle Bowel Disease.
Digestive Enzymes enhance the ability of the digestive tract to better absorb health-giving nutrients.
Better Vitamin & Mineral Results Eagle Pack's exclusive SQM process enhances vitamin and mineral uptake and potency, helping trace minerals be more available so your pet gets the full benefit, preventing vitamin deficiencies and stabilizing vitamin C.
Omega 6:3 Fatty Acids contribute to healthy skin and coat and support normal development of brain, nerves and eyes.
Kelp helps improve digestion, pigmentation and general health.
Yucca reduces stool and urine odor and it acts as a digestive and anti-inflammatory aid.
Vitamins A, E & C are antioxidants which help protect the body from oxidation and boost the immune system.
