You know how the expression goes – a dog is man’s best friend. This means that your pet is also your hiking companion, running partner, camping companion, paddleboard captain, and more. And just like you, your dog needs a nutrient-dense diet to fuel these outdoor adventures and epic feats.

Think about it: Centuries ago, your dog’s ancestors didn’t chew on cheap filler grains like wheat, corn, or tapioca that are common in today’s pet foods. They were out in the wild, drowning their teeth in tender meat.
