Eagle Pack Holistic Select Pet Foods

We buy fresh, whole grains and grind them fresh for each production run. They are herbicide-free. Grains, and amounts selected for each formula, vary based on over 60 different scientific nutrient values specific to each grain. Pets require some carbohydrates in their diet. We select grains for their carbohydrate value, not their protein or amino acid value.

Organic Quinoa

Brown Rice

White Rice

Oatmeal

Spelt

Organically grown and certified, Quinoa was called the "grain of the Gods" by the Inca Indians 3000 years ago. It is grown today in the same non-GMO (genetically modified organism) state. We selected Quinoa for its hypoallergenic properties and high digestibility. It is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron and B vitamins and is an excellent energy source. Quinoa's high protein content is considered as good as milk.

This is rice with the hull removed but still retaining the bran layer. Hulls have no nutritional value. Some pet food brands use hulls as a poor grade of fiber/filler but most hulls are burned as fuel in power plants. (www.plantsciences.ucdavis.com) Despite its nutritional value, consumption of Brown Rice in human food is low because people do not care for its taste or texture, with humans preferring White Rice.

This is Brown Rice with the bran layer removed. This layer comprises 10-12 percent of the brown kernel and has some nutritional value. The amino acid value lost here is more than made up with the natural amino acids in our protein rich meat meals. We blend Whole Brown Rice for its overall nutrition value and White Rice for its high digestibility and protein level and reduced fiber level. White Rice is much more nutritious than most cereal grains and more digestible than Brown Rice. That's why vets recommend White Rice for sick dogs. (Sage Foods and www.plantsciences.ucdavid.edu).

This new star of the health food industry is an excellent source of quality fiber. The veterinary dermatology group recommends using oatmeal on dogs with skin allergies, both as a shampoo and in the diet. Our human grade oatmeal is non-GMO, has not been irradiated, and contains no processing, chemical, nutritional or medicinal additives.

Another of our whole-health ingredients. It can also be traced back 5000 years and is the same today as it was then, i.e., not genetically modified. It's strong hull naturally protects it from pollutants and insects, so pesticides are not needed. The hull is removed before processing. Spelt is highly absorbable by the body and boosts the immune system. It is a super fiber source and high in B-complex vitamins.
