Nature’s Variety

Nature’s Variety believes that it is essential to overall pet health to provide a diet rich in variety; to achieve this they provide complimentary choices in canned, kibble, and raw frozen formulas.  Nature’s Variety recommends rotating between canned, kibble, and raw frozen diets as well as rotating protein sources. 

All Nature’s Variety formulas are high in meat proteins and if they include grains they are whole grains.

Nature’s Variety offers formulas with non-traditional meat sources which are known low allergens thus reducing or eliminating some specific conditions associated with food allergies.

The kibble formulas feature Bio-Coating.   Nature's Variety has pioneered this unique and revolutionary concept. Nature’s Variety Kibble Diets are coated with  Freeze Dried Raw Diets which provides microbials necessary for optimum nutrient absorption.

Canned Varieties:  Chicken and Turkey, Beef, Lamb, Rabbit, Duck, and Venison.

The canned varieties are 95% meat and 5% fruits and vegetables, contain  no hormones and no steroids.

Convenient raw frozen diets are 95% meat and are offered in the following varieties:  Organic Chicken, Chicken and Turkey, Beef, Lamb, Venison, and Rabbit.
