Raised in abundant fresh air and provided plenty of clean water, Bell & Evans chickens provide amino acids essential for muscles, hormones, enzymes, antibodies and structural and protective tissues.
- Organic Brown Rice – Grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, these whole grains supply complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and B vitamins and beneficial fiber to maintain a healthy digestive tract and promote normal stools.
- Organic Barley – Grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, these whole grains provide vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, biotin, complex carbohydrates, tocotrienols (a potent antioxidant) and beneficial fibers.
- Organic Milo – Grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, these whole grains supply complex carbohydrates and beneficial fiber to support digestive function.
- Organic Flax Seed Meal - A rich source of linoleic and omega-3 fatty acids as well as essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals and beneficial fiber for healthy skin and coat condition.
- Ester-C® - A non-acidic form of vitamin C containing metabolites that may enhance the delivery of vitamin C to the whole body to support joint and immune function and neutralize free radicals that damage genes and reduce biological efficiencies.
- Organic Oats - Grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, these whole grains supply B-complex vitamins, fiber and complex carbohydrates to help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
- Organic Carrots - Provide vitamins A and C and beta-carotene, powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and support healthy vision.
- Organic Potatoes - A rich source of fiber and potassium as well as antioxidant vitamins A and C.
- Parsley – Serves as an intestinal calmative and aids in nutrient absorption and elimination of gastric odors leading to “doggie breath”.
- Kelp - A good source of essential vitamins and minerals (including iodine).
- Sea Salt – A natural flavoring that is an excellent source of essential minerals.
- Probiotics – Replenishes the naturally occurring beneficial bacteria to improve the nutritional status of the intestinal tract and support immune health.
Whats not in Newmans - NO Poultry by-product meal – ground, rendered, cleaned slaughtered poultry carcass parts such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines (and a small amount of feathers). The quality is very inconsistent between batches. Note: By product meals are often derived from 4-D meat sources - defined as food animals that have been rejected for human consumption because they were presented to the meat packing plant as “Dead, Dying, Diseased or Disabled”.
- NO Antibiotics or steroids - Long-term daily administration may result in a compromised immune system and destruction of the friendly bacteria living in the intestines that aid the digestion of food and assimilation of nutrients.
- NO Chemical additives or artificial preservatives - Chemical antioxidants, such as ethoxyquin or BHA, that were designed to extend the shelf life and reduce fat spoilage (rancidity) of pet foods may cause allergic reactions and affect liver and kidney functions.
- NO Wheat, NO corn - Wheat and corn may cause allergies in some dogs and cats.
- NO Artificial flavors – Flavor enhancers are produced by the enzymatic liquefaction or hydrolysis of animal tissue. Those made with phosphoric acid are particularly appealing to cats because they produce a "tingling" sensation on the tongue.
- NO Artificial Colors and Dyes – Coloring agents provide an artificial "rich and "meaty" look to modify the appearance of highly processed foods and make them more appealing to pet owners.
