About our Wholesome Ingredients

Pork and Pork Meal:
The high quality fresh pork meat and pork meal used in Grandma Mae’s Country Naturals make an excellent protein choice for your dog. Pork is wholesome, nutritious, great for the digestive system–and dogs love it.

Peas, Lentils and Chickpeas:
These “legumes” are excellent sources of energy and protein that have a low glycemic index and do not cause blood glucose (sugar) levels to spike right after ingestion. The reason to have more than one is that a dog’s system is likely to digest a variety of these legumes more efficiently than it would if there were only one or two of them.

Chicken Fat:
The highest of all animal sources in linoleic acid, chicken fat is an important element for skin and coat health. It is very palatable, high in essential fatty acids, and easily and quickly metabolized.

Flaxseed Meal:
Flaxseed is a good source of Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids, which produce a soft, luxuriant coat.

Suncured Alfalfa Meal:
Alfalfa, a legume and member of the pea family, is a good source of many nutrients including protein, fiber, trace minerals and vitamins A, B1, B12, C, D, E, and K. It is also known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and diuretic properties.

Menhaden Fish Oil:
Fish oil contains the natural ingredients needed to produce a lustrous and healthy coat. It also has marine Omega-3 fatty acids.

Dried Kelp:
Kelp is a naturally balanced supplement—an abundant source of minerals, amino acids and vitamins, including essential trace minerals. These nutrients are necessary for the production of enzymes that promote healthy body functions. Kelp contains over 60 minerals and elements and 21 amino acids and simple and complex carbohydrates, which promote glandular health, especially in the pituitary, adrenal and thyroid glands.

Carrots:
Among common vegetables, the carrot is the richest source of pro-vitamin A. Carrots also contain beta-carotene—an antioxidant—and vitamins B, C, D, E, K, riboflavin, niacin, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and iron.

Parsley:
Fresh parsley is an herb associated with reducing urinary tract inflammation, while aiding in digestion and improving kidney function.

Lettuce, Watercress, Spinach, Celery:
Lettuce, Spinach, Watercress and Celery provide antioxidants and health-protecting phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. They are high in Vitamin A and antioxidants providing protection against free radicals (cancer causing agents).

Choline Chloride:
Generally classified as a B-complex vitamin (referred to as vitamin B4 in some publications), choline influences the metabolism of carotene and vitamin A in animals. It is an essential component in ensuring proper nervous system function.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin:
Including glucosamine and chondroitin in your dog’s diet reduces likelihood of joint issues and increases joint comfort and support, especially good for large breeds and seniors. These two ingredients work even more effectively when paired together.

Calcium Carbonate and Iodate:
Calcium carbonate and Iodate provide calcium for bones and teeth. Calcium plays a role in nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, blood coagulation, the activation of enzyme systems, and cardiac function.

Monosodium Phosphate:
Monosodium phosphate is a good source of the calcium and phosphorus necessary for healthy bones and teeth.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus:
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotc-beneficial bacteria that produce organic acids (such as lactic and acetic) and digestive enzymes.

Bacillus Subtilus:
Microbials like Bacillus Subtilus lessen gas and bloating and promote consistent growth, healthier coats, resistance to disease, and better overall health.

Enterococcus Faecium:
Enterococcus faecium produces short-chain fatty acids that modulate the gut pH level and provide a source of fuel for cells lining the gut. This, in turn, strengthens the intestinal cells, helps enhance nutrient absorption, and stimulates immune functions in dogs.

Zinc:
Zinc promotes the mineralization of bone, digestion of protein, and the conversion of calorie-containing nutrients into energy. Zinc further aids in enzyme reaction, cell replication, protein and carbohydrate metabolism, skin health, and wound healing.

Ferrous Sulfate (Iron):
Iron aids hemoglobin and myoglobin synthesis as well as energy metabolism.

Copper Sulfate and Proteinate:
Copper is an essential trace mineral for animals.

Manganese Sulfate and Proteinate:
Manganese is an essential trace mineral for animals.

Vitamin A:
Vitamin A aids vision, growth, immune function, fetal development, cellular differentiation, and trans-membrane protein transfer. Vitamin A is essential for the repair of body tissues and also benefits bone formation.

Niacin:
Niacin is an essential vitamin and part of the vitamin B-complex. A lack of niacin can cause deficiency disease.

Riboflavin:
Riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the normal release of energy from carbohydrates, proteins, and fat. It is also essential in the formation of antibodies and red blood cells.

Biotin:
Biotin promotes healthy skin and hair and is necessary for growth, digestion, and muscle function.

Vitamin D3:
Vitamin D3 promotes the formation of bones and teeth. It also plays a role in the maintenance of healthy nerve and muscle systems.

Chelated Cobalt Proteinate:
Cobalt is an important constituent of the vitamin B12 molecule.

Thiamine Mononitrate:
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) promotes growth, stimulates brain action, safeguards the muscles that protect the heart, maintains red blood count, promotes healthy skin, and improves circulation.

Folic Acid: 
Folic acid is needed for the processing of sugar and amino acids.
