HARVEST BLEND - ALL NATURAL PET FOOD

DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOUR FEEDING YOUR PETS ?

The Pet Food Industry is a multi-billion dollar industry which is growing every day. If you were aware of the ingredients that are in the food you were feeding your pets, you would be outraged. Never buy pet food on price per bag. Always buy on price per feeding. A good source of super premium food is often more cost effective then the lower grade foods. Pure North is continually searching out the highest quality pet food for your pets. We are extremely pleased with the quality of food provided by Harvest Blend Super Premium Pet Foods.

Our beloved pets both the dog and cat evolved from prehistoric, carnivorous animals. For that reason, they should be fed a higher meat based diet as opposed to a grain based one because it provides a more complete amino acid profile. The short digestive tract of a dog or cat, having a more acidic pH level, allows food to pass through in only a few hours. This type of digestive system efficiently breaks down and assimilates the proteins and nutrients contained in meat based diets. The much longer digestive tract of an herbivore (cow, horse), having a more alkaline pH level, is designed to break down and absorb both grains and grasses. This takes 3-4 days for the food to pass through the entire system. Therefore, a high grain based diet does not allow enough time for a carnivore’s digestive tract to properly digest and absorb all of the essential nutrients required for optimum health.

Dogs and Cats also lack many of the enzymes required to break down plant material. Animals, which are consumed by carnivores, have pre-digested plant material in their system that supply a multitude of enzymes for the carnivores, allowing easier assimilation of food.

Learn to be selective when choosing a commercial diet for your pet. Read the labels and understand the ingredient selection so that your pet will be fed a wholesome, well-balanced food. Plant protein, as well as, meat protein makes up the crude protein percentage listed on the label, but as mentioned above, plant protein is not digestible. Avoid feeding your pet processed grains (flours), animal tallow, by-product meat sources or any artificial flavoring, coloring or preservatives.

High quality, source ingredients allow for the bioavailability of nutrients that are so important for the animal’s immune system to work at its optimum level and to provide peak performance.

A happier and healthier pet is the result.

Some Information on Ingredients that We Believe
Make Our Foods Extra Special

Chicken Meal/Fresh Chicken
We use only “Low Risk” Chicken Meal and cuts of Fresh Chicken as our main sources of protein. These come from a “Category 3” or “Human Grade” rendering facility which produces the same chicken that we ourselves eat. They are 100% Antibiotic and Hormone Free and contain none of the by-products (beaks, feathers, feet) normally associated with other “meals”.

Prebiotics/Probiotics
Prebiotics are a special type of carbohydrate that promotes or “feeds” the naturally occurring probiotics, or good bacteria, that exists in the intestinal tract. Together they help prevent disease by inhibiting the proliferation of bad bacteria, reduce food sensitivity, and aid in the overall digestion and assimilation of nutrients by creating enzymatic activity inside the intestines of the animal.

MSM
Methylsulfonylmethane is a naturally occurring sulphur compound found in nature that through long term use can help prevent and contribute to the alleviation of a large number of ailments. It is especially good for the relief of joint and muscle pain, promotes joint reconstruction and drastically improves the coat, skin and nail conditions in animals. We use only “Lignisul”™ or Human Grade MSM in our foods.

Hemp Seed Cake
Described as “Nature’s Perfect Food”, Hemp Seed contains high quality EFA’s, Essential Fatty Acids (Omegas 3, 6, 9), as well as GLA’s or Gamma Linoleic Acids. These help regulate eye and neurological function, hormonal balance, wound healing, cell growth and promote a luxurious coat and healthy skin. The powerful Lignans and Digestive Enzymes contained in Hemp Seed also help to prevent disease, aid in the absorption of nutrients and improve the overall intestinal health of the animal.

Other Special Ingredients
Kelp, Chelated Minerals, Yucca Schidigera, Glucosmine and Chondroitin Sulphates, Marigold, Gingko Biloba.
