USDA Certified Ground Beef

We only use the finest USDA inspected and approved ground beef from Kansas in this healthy dog recipe. Beef is considered a prime source of high-quality, complete protein and is also rich in iron and zinc, as well as vitamins B12 and B6.

USDA Certified Beef Heart

Our USDA inspected and approved New Zealand beef heart is a nutrient dense food. Ounce for ounce, it contains the most concentrated amounts of protein and a natural source of active vitamin A. It’s a rich source of heme-iron, the most absorbable form of iron. Beef heart is also high in B-vitamins such as cobalamin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorous and zinc.

Russet Potato

Our russet potatoes come from Washington and Oregon and are high in potassium. They also contain substantial amounts of vitamins C and B6. They are also a good source of niacin, fiber, magnesium iron and thiamin. Russett Potatoes for dogs are cleaned and cooked with the skins on in order to preserve the maximum nutritional value.

Carrots

Carrots are full of antioxidant compounds and are one of the richest sources of the pro-vitamin A carotenes. The antioxidant compounds may help to prevent heart disease, cancer in dogs, and help protect good vision.

Safflower Oil

Safflower oil contains essential omega-6 fatty acids which, via prostaglandins, strengthen cell membranes and regulate every function in the body at the molecular level. Canola oil for dogs is both more common as well as more affordable than safflower oil but given the controversy surrounding canola oil and the superiority of safflower oil for dogs we believe the expense is justified.

It takes time to transition your pet to a new food without having digestive upset. Over the course of one to two weeks, you should gradually switch from the old food to the new. Start with a 75% old to 25% new mix, then 50:50, and finally 25:75, until you have switched to JustFoodForDogs entirely.
