AMINO ACID PROFILES
While lots of attention is given to ingredients, what’s ACTUALLY needed is nutrients. Dogs require 10 essential amino acids (cats, 11). These AAs cannot be synthesized by the body and MUST be provided by food in appropriate quantities. Without them, the body turns to its natural proteins to synthesize what is needed, gradually putting the animal’s survival at risk.
