Southwest Canyon Canine Recipe with Beef in Gravy

Meat from beef cattle, provides amino acid nutrition for overall good health.

Broth created from cooking beef in water, used in canned products as a source of moisture.

Broth created from cooking lamb in water, used in canned products as a source of moisture.

Vegetable broth is used in canned food as a moisture source that enhances flavor. It is a variation of a mirepoix, made with celery and carrots.

Beef liver is a great source of iron and beneficial protein.

Egg whites that have been dried, a great, nutrient-rich protein source.

Peas, either green or yellow, are highly nutritious legumes that are made up of protein, starch and fiber in addition to vitamins and minerals.

Cooked and dried whole eggs.

Lamb is a highly digestible protein that enhances palatability.

Potatoes are processed to remove the protein and fiber, leaving the starch component. A source of carbohydrates.

Boar is a highly digestible protein that enhances palatability.

Made from guar beans, this ingredient is used in canned food to help the food set properly during the canning process.

Purified oil from sunflower seeds, a rich source of omega fatty acids.

Chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, are a legume. They are high in protein and fiber.

Ingredient that is added to enhance the flavor and acceptance of the food. (Does not contain MSG).

A mineral source of calcium and phosphorus, two essential mineral nutrients.

This mineral source supplies sodium and phosphorus, two essential minerals.

Source of sodium and chloride. Used in formulas for growing animals or reproducing animals. Sodium and chloride are required in higher levels by these life stages.

A mineral source of calcium, an essential nutrient.

Potassium salt of hydrochloric acid and is required for body fluid maintenance, nerve conduction (including normal heart rhythm) and certain metabolic processes. Potassium is the main electrolyte in intracellular fluid.

A prebiotic fiber that produces short-chain fatty acids in the colon. These SCFAs supply energy for colonocytes (cells lining the colon) as well as the good bacteria in the colon, supporting healthy digestion.

A source of vitamin C and lycopene, important antioxidants.

A power-packed vegetable rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, iron, calcium and beta carotene, this is one complex carbohydrate source that provides all-day energy.

Rich in fiber and antioxidants, blueberries are considered to be a superfood.

These berries contain antioxidants that help support overall good health.

An amino acid that maintains healthy eyes and heart.

A B-complex vitamin. Choline is required for normal nervous system function, normal growth in young animals and protection of the kidneys. It can be synthesized in the liver but is a dietary requirement.

An oil derived from the flaxseed plant. Nutritious source of omega-3 fatty acids, palatable and stable.

A plant extract that provides flavor to the food.

Chelated form of zinc. Zinc is necessary for the formation of proteins in the body, normal immune system function, skin and wound healing, growth and reproduction. Chelated minerals are attached to amino acids for better absorption from the digestive tract.

Iron is a mineral that is important for the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Iron amino acid chelate is a chelated mineral, bound to amino acids for more efficient absorption.

Oil obtained from menhaden whitefish. This oil is rich in marine-source omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA.

Ingredient that is created through a fermentation process. It is added to wet foods to enhance the texture of the product.

Helps protect cell membranes, regulates intracellular respiration and immune function.

Copper is a mineral that is important for maintaining coat color and plays a role in normal reproduction. Copper amino acid chelate is a chelated mineral, bound to amino acids for more efficient absorption.

Manganese is a mineral that is important for proper bone formation, growth and reproduction. Manganese amino acid chelate is a chelated mineral, bound to amino acids for more efficient absorption.

Form of selenium, an essential trace mineral necessary for normal immune function and reproduction.

Vitamin B1. Required for protein and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as to maintain normal nervous system function.

Cobalt is a mineral that aids in the production of red blood cells and iron absorption. Cobalt amino acid chelate is a chelated mineral, bound to amino acids for more efficient absorption.

A supplemental source of vitamin B3. Vitamin B3 is important for the maintenance of the hair and skin and also for the nervous system. Niacin plays a role in energy metabolism as well.

A source of pantothenic acid, a B vitamin that is important for normal immune function, proper energy levels and nervous system function.

An active source of vitamin A, which is necessary for reproduction, vision, normal skeletal and tooth development, immunity and tissue integrity.

Vitamin B2. Water soluble. This vitamin is necessary for nervous system function, energy utilization, healthy skin and coat and tissue repair.

B vitamin required for metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, fatty acids and nonessential amino acids. Water-soluble vitamin. Required for normal skin and coat.

The only B vitamin that can be stored by the body. Necessary for formation of red blood cells and normal nervous system function.

Potassium salt that is required for body fluid maintenance, nerve conduction (including normal heart rhythm) and certain metabolic processes. Potassium is the main electrolyte in intracellular fluid.

Vitamin B6. Water-soluble. Necessary for blood cell formation and nervous system function.

A supplemental source for vitamin D3, an essential vitamin nutrient.

A water-soluble B vitamin necessary for formation of red blood cells and for normal function of the nervous system and reproduction (fetal development).
