Superior Protein Sources
Natural chicken is #1 on our ingredients list with five additional highly bioavailable proteins for optimal digestibility and great taste. Provides essential amino acids and the nutrients needed to help promote your dog's wellness by supporting a healthy skin and coat, strong, lean muscle mass and vitality.
Natural Fruits & Veggies
Pure, wholesome fruits and vegetables provide valuable nutrients, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants for your dog. We simply dry the carrots, bananas, papaya, apples and blueberries and then blend with the Ultramix kibble. Don't be fooled by other diets that feature fruits and veggies in the ingredients list - you can't even see them in the kibble! And because they're usually processed under high heat they retain only minimal nutritional value...not so with NATURAL ULTRAMIX!

Rich Sources of Carbohydrates
Potatoes, ground whole barley and grains provide essential vitamins and minerals as well as a balanced source of sustainable energy.

Essential Vitamins & Minerals
Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals and balanced to meet the needs of your adult dog.

Additional Benefits
Flaxseed, Glucosamine and Chondroitin (naturally sourced from chicken cartilage), and Omega Fatty Acids. Combined to promote wellness and help maximize the time you'll spend with your best friend.

No By-Products
No Fillers
No Wheat
No Corn
No Growth Hormones
No Artificial Preservatives, Colors or Flavors
Ultramix Adult Canine Formula is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.

I got a sample from Petco and it has small chunks of fruits/veggies you can actually see similar to a trail mix we eat with freeze dried fruits they even come in organic

Ingredient experts, can you please rate this product?
