Idahound recipes use single source proteins and organs. They are from wild Idaho game, and grass-fed and pastured animals. They come from organic farms in Utah and the northwest. Local organic produce is used so it is non-GMO and has low pesticide risk. Organic powdered eggshells are also used.
These foods are formulated for adult dogs as a complete and balanced diet.
Idahound doesn’t provide the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. It is not the only company that doesn’t provide this. It’s important to know since diets rich in omega-6 fats can cause chronic inflammation. AAFCO allows a very high ratio of 30:1.
