How we take good food to great

Nutrience is pet food with a purpose.  There are a lot of pet foods on the market, so we know it isn't easy to work out the differences at a glance.  Here are some of the things we think pet owners should know that will help making choosing the right food for your pet much easier... 

Simple, Natural, Wholesome 

From our ‘No Bad Anything’ promise to the unique small-batch production for superior control, every bag of Nutrience represents an unwavering attention to quality and an ongoing commitment to natural, wholesome nutrition. 

Our goal is to give dogs & cats everything they need and nothing they don't, using nature to take good food to great.  That means no corn, no wheat, no soy, no by-products, no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.  And if you need to avoid gluten, wheat, corn or rice as well, Nutrience has grain free options for your cat and dog also. 

Meat and Fish Proteins

Whether it’s fresh, cage-free, deboned chicken or turkey, wild-caught Pacific salmon or Atlantic herring, or any of the many other human-grade meat and fish proteins we use to make Nutrience, you know they'll always be the very best that can be sourced.


Our protein sources include:
  • Turkey
  • Chicken
  • Duck
  • Whole egg
  • De-boned cod, herring, salmon, haddock & flounder 

    Essential Healthy Fats

    Healthy fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, are principle ingredients of every Nutrience formula.  included in the right, balanced ratio to nutritionally support healthy skin and a glossy coat.  

    Fish & Salmon Oil

    Coldwater fish such as salmon and herring naturally contain some of the highest levels of DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids to nutritionally improve your pet's skin and coat, helping to reduce inflammation, support a healthier immune system, improve cognitive function and assist in prenatal development.

    Flaxseed

    These tiny seeds are packed with nutritional value. They're a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids and high in soluble and insoluble fibre for digestive health and smaller, firmer stools. 

    Coconut Oil

    Coconut oil is a natural source of lauric acid, a medium chain triglyceride (MCT). Lauric acid nutritionally elevates the metabolism for energy and vitality, helps protect from illness and supports healing, one of the reasons coconut oil is popular for pets (and people!) for skin concerns.  Coconut oil has the added benefit of nutritionally enhancing digestion. 

    Pumpkin, Butternut Squash, Carrots, Spinach & Broccoli:

    Their rich, bright colours advertise the presence of the powerhouse nutrient beta-carotene.  Nutritionally boosts immunity, helps guard against illness, promotes cardiovascular health and good vision.  These powerhouse fruits and vegetables  also contain natural anti-inflammatory properties and give pets a natural source of dietary fibre for a healthy digestive tract and smaller, firmer stools. 

    Apples & Pears 

    Natural sources of pectin (a soluble fibre) that aids digestion and are naturally rich in potassium, helping to maintain heart health and muscle strength. 

    Blueberries, Cranberries & Pomegranates

    Known as 'superfruits' they are valued for their numerous nutritionally protective anti-aging and metabolism boosting effects. These include properties that nutritionally help fight heart disease, memory loss, urinary tract infections and obesity.

    Nutrient-Rich Botanicals

    Botanicals have been long valued for their natural medicinal and therapeutic properties throughout history.  Nutrience was an early adopted and has been including them in our formulas for over 15 years for their power to naturally, nutritionally strengthen and support healing.  

    Turmeric

    Promotes circulation and nutritionally decreases inflammation.

    Licorice Root

    Nutritionally stimulates the immune system and has fast-acting, natural anti-inflammatory properties that are thought to be specifically useful for pets with bone and joint concerns. 

    Ginger, Fennel & Peppermint

    There's a reason sea sickness pills includes ginger.  Ginger, fennel and peppermint nutritionally help the entire digestive system.

    Juniper Berries

    Helps nutritionally promote urinary tract health, lower blood glucose levels, strengthen kidney function and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

    Low-Glycemic Carbohydrates

    Low-glycemic carbohydrates are thought to nutritionally lower the risk of diabetes and help prevent obesity.  By limiting carbs to those with a lower glycemic index where possible, lowering or slowing release of glucose into the bloodstream, the pressure on the cells to produce insulin is reduced – as is the risk of diabetes.

    Nutrience includes low GI staples such as sweet potatoes (kumara), steel-cut oats, lentils and green peas, for not only delicious, healthy ingredients, but to help nutritionally contribute to a longer, healthier life for your pet.

    Nutritional Supplements

    Beneficial to humans and pets alike, in addition to ensuring that our formulas contain all the vitamins, minerals and amino acids your pets require, we’ve also added prebiotics, probiotics, glucosamine and chondroitin. While prebiotics and probiotics work together to nutritionally support a healthy digestive system, glucosamine and chondroitin are incorporated into our formulas to help maintain hip and joint health.
