Our Ingredients
Benefits of Jake & Daisey's Ingredients
All our ingredients have been selected to assist in achieving optimum health and well being for our pets. Listed below are the benefits found in our list of ingredients.
Chicken: Federally inspected, human grade chicken (including ground bones) will provide wholesome calcium and phosphorous in the correct ratios. In addition the connective tissue is one of the few natural sources of chondroiton and critical to skeletal health.
Beef: Federally inspected and human grade beef (including 10% hearts and livers) provide a concentration of lean muscle that is high in protein. Dogs, like humans, require the enzymes, amino acids and other nutrients in fresh raw meat in order to remain healthy. The beef hearts and livers provide water and fat-soluble vitamins in their natural form as well as critical trace minerals including copper.
Buffalo: Federally Inspected and also human grade, buffalo is non allergenic and an excellent choice for dogs that have any type of protein allergy. Buffalo is naturally hormone and antibiotic free and has excellent iron and protein content.
Organ Meat: A nutritious combination of liver, heart and kidney, rich in high quality protein, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Although organ meats are valuable food, they are not required in huge amounts. A concentrated source of many essential nutrients, offal is particularly valuable during times of growth, reproduction and stress. Buffalo hearts are an excellent source of co-enzyme Q10.
(7-10% is added to our products, with the exception of our chicken, fruit & vegetable, which contains no organ meat)
Apples: contain pectin, which reduces cholesterol. Apples contain iron and potassium and most importantly quercetin, which is an anti-oxidant compound that lowers the risk of heart disease in humans and inhibits the growth of tumors.
Carrots: They are a great source of beta-carotene, B vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The result is a stronger immune system, improved skin and coat. Carrots help bolster the immune system and can also help relieve diarrhea.
Cabbage: Research has suggested cabbage acts as a potent anti-carcinogen as well as containing vitamins C & E, which are 2 of the most important antioxidants available.
Broccoli: Contains among other vitamins, selenium which is used primarily for cancer prevention as well as for the prevention of osteoarthritis.
Kale: Excellent source of Vitamin A & C as well as providing cardiovascular protection as a result of kale's vitamin B6 and riboflavin.
Yams: contain vitamin B6 which helps protect against cardiovascular disease.
Alfalfa: contains calcium, potassium plus all known vitamins. Alfalfa helps with arthritis pain.
Garlic: Excellent antioxidant.
Kelp: provides iodine to the body for correct functioning of the thyroid gland and influences overall health, metabolism, skin and coat.
Molasses: The type we use has had most of the sugar extruded out of it and 1 tablespoon (which is approx. amount in one pound of raw food) contains 0.5 grams of sugar - to ensure sufficient calcium in our products that don't contain bone. It is an excellent source of iron and a good naturally occurring source of potassium.
