  • 35% Protein & 25% Fat - High-quality real meat proteins help fuel metabolic needs and maintain lean muscle.
  • Heart Health - Cardiac health depends on heart-focused nutrition. Active contains protein building nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids and trace minerals which help support heart muscle and tissue integrity, reduce inflammation and regulate cardiovascular function.
  • Brain Health - Vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids and complexed bio-available zinc, copper and manganese in Active play important roles in normal brain development and cognitive ability.
  • Digestive Health - An exclusive blend of prebiotics and our proprietary NutriVantage® Nutrition Optimizer® provides optimal nutrition supplementation for the digestive tract.
  • Hip & Joint - Trace minerals such as copper, calcium and omega-3 fatty acids in Active are essential for keeping bones strong, supporting cartilage regeneration and thickness which can lead to greater performance.
  • Perfect Paw - Paw pad thickness is vital to the overall performance of your canine athlete. Optimal levels of the specially complexed bio-available zinc, copper and manganese have been shown to enhance paw pad thickness and integrity.
  • Skin & Coat - Vitamin E, omega fatty acids and trace minerals are vital to skin and hair coat health. The specially complexed bio-available forms of zinc and copper found in Active have been shown to support skin health and hair coat structure, leading to eye-catching coloration and luster.
  • Concentrated Energy - Meat protein and fat delivers nutrient-dense calories to maintain weight and stamina.
  • Quality Protein & Fat Sources - Top-quality meat meals with no meat by-products.
  • Naturally Healthy - Meat meals and grains with no chemical preservatives or artificial flavors.
  • Wholesome Grains - Contains no corn, wheat or soy.
  • Antioxidant-Rich Nutrients - Key nutrients support the body’s natural defenses through a healthy immune system.
  • Complexed Minerals - All vitamins and minerals required for optimal health in a readily available form.
  • Omega-3 & Omega-6 Fatty Acids - Essential for normal immune activity and skin, coat and nail health.
  • Prebiotics - For digestive health and immune system support.
  • Meat Protein vs Meat Protein Meal - Many pet food companies promote their products as chicken or meat sources at significant levels. Such protein sources may be 75% water or more. So, when moisture is lost during the pet food production process, the level of actual meat remaining is substantially less. For Active performance dog food, chicken, lamb or salmon meal is the preferred protein source and contains less than 10% water – meaning the level of actual meat remains high and is truthfully the first ingredient on the label after processing.
