The Ancestral Diet Meets Modern Nutrition
Traditionally, dry pet foods required a significant concentration of grains and carbohydrate-rich ingredients to aid in the manufacturing of a crunchy kibble pet food. Natura challenged this tradition, and developed unique manufacturing processes to create the first-ever grain free, low carbohydrate dry pet food. Removing grains and dropping carbs leads to many benefits for our beloved four-legged friends.
The protein in EVO is derived from premium quality fish products that are highly digestible, highly palatable and provide maximum nutrient absorption. The all natural ingredients in EVO dog foods include essential vitamins, minerals, and other key building blocks that encourage strong bones and muscles.
EVO Herring & Salmon Formula Dry Dog Food is grain free. By removing ALL grain from the diet, EVO minimizes starch or carbohydrate intake while maximizing the concentration of protein. In fact, EVO provides high-quality protein at a level that is among the highest available anywhere. In addition, EVO also contains a source of viable, naturally occurring microorganisms and has both linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), and combines omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate to support joint health.

Herring Meal
Herring meal is a good source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Natura uses the whole herring including the oil from this excellent food fish in Natura cat and dog food products.
Peas
Green peas are a fresh vegetable source of protein and contain a good source of vitamin A.
Salmon
Salmon is a marine and freshwater fish high in protein and long chain omega-3 fatty acids.
Eggs
Eggs are an excellent source of protein, with naturally occurring complex combinations of amino acids. Natura uses only whole eggs in their products.
Herring Oil
Herring oil provides a rich source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Because the herring that Natura uses is of such high quality, the herring oil helps produce healthy skin and lustrous coats.
Pea Fiber
Pea fiber is a useful ingredient that helps regulate the bowels to help prevent constipation or diarrhea.
Sunflower Oil
Natura uses sunflower oil to provide the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid, which is important for good skin and coat health.
Natural Flavors
Natural flavors are flavor ingredients that do not contain synthetic or artificial components.
Apples
Apples are an excellent source of dietary fiber. About 81% of the fiber is soluble; most of it is of a type called pectin. Apples provide both soluble and insoluble fiber, some vitamin C and beta carotene, and potassium and boron.
Carrots
Innova dog and cat foods contain whole fresh carrots.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, protein and vitamins. The cottage cheese has only trace amounts of lactose and is not in sufficient supply to cause an intolerance problem.
Dried Chicory Root
Dried Chicory Root is the dried, non-roasted root Cichorium intybus L., used as a source of inulin, as soluble, fermentable fiber. It shall contain no less than 50% inulin and no more than 13% moisture.
Commonly known as a soluble fiber, the inulin derived from the Chicory Root is a fructooligosaccharide added to help maintain digestive tract health and function.
Glucosamine Hydrochloride
Glucosamine, together with chondroitin sulfate, is believed to support the cartilage matrix.
Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin sulfate naturally occurs in the cartilage cushioning our joints. Given in additional amounts, with glucosamine, it is believed to attract fluid back into joint cartilage, helping maintain the cartilage matrix.
