At a remarkable 52% protein, this fish-first recipe is one of the leanest, most protein-dense ways to feed raw, with naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin, a glossy coat, and joint support. Blast-frozen within 45 minutes and slowly freeze-dried over 48 hours — never cooked — every nib preserves the enzymes and amino acids of raw butcher cut protein.
