Ingredients
GENUINE has 4100 kcal/kg; 515 kcal per 8 oz. cup.
We source only the highest quality protein, fat and oil, fiber, and carbohydrates from our American family-owned or American operated partners who meet or exceed our meticulous standards and share our values of providing the ultimate nutrition for your dog.
Our more than 30 years of experience has taught us what impacts nutrient quality and the importance of product consistency—and we chose our partners accordingly. So, when you buy GENUINE dog food, you can feel confident you will receive the same ultimate dog food day after day, month after month, year after year.
*As with many human vitamin and mineral supplements a portion are sources internationally which are analytically checked and certified.
All GENUINE ingredients begin as human grade and become pet food grade through processing or shipping standards set forth by USDA or FDA.
For example, our dried deboned chicken protein comes from the chicken after some parts are removed for the human market. The remaining muscle meat is further removed from the bone and processed with innovative technology that allows GENUINE to formulate more chicken protein from only muscle meat than any other food.
GENUINE is naturally preserved with oil from rosemary and mixed tocopherols, a source of vitamin E and green tea extract.
GENUINE’s MED ™ Macro Essentials for your Dog has an innovative blend of over 40% chicken-based protein and 20% fats and oils, the richest concentrated nutrition allowing you to feed less food per day and your Dog to benefit more.
The nutrient balance of a diet is important to properly nourish your dog. Dietary fat provides 2.25 x more energy than either protein or carbohydrates. With a high level and availability of the chicken and egg protein it is important that a high-quality dietary fat source be present.
Just imagine over 33 whole chicken protein equivalents are in every GENUINE package.
Over 93% of the protein is poultry based. It is expensive to formulate what is absolutely the ultimate in nutrition for your dog. Only you can decide if he/she is worth it.
University supported feeding studies have clearly shown that feeding a food high in protein, when properly balanced has no adverse effect on the kidneys of healthy dogs.
