WHY PORK?
The Other White Meat is healthier than ever. Thanks to innovative feeding and breeding programs, pork is a lean source of high quality protein. Pork's leanness enables us to add the fats to BACK TO BASICS in a form that is healthier for your dog. Our pork is from USDA inspected processing facilities to produce nutrient rich pork meal. Pork, at 93.9%, has the highest digestibility of all protein sources. It is highly palatable and loaded with Vitamin B-l (Thiamin), B-2, B-12 and the minerals iron and zinc. Pork is a favorite among nutritionists, canine professionals and dogs alike.

Back to Basics Ingredient
The highest priority for Beowulf's Back to Basics is the quality of its ingredients. All ingredients come from human grade sources, and are hormone and antibiotic free. Beowulf's Back to Basics is a meat-based product that is low in protein, and high in fat (which has been shown to be of paramount importance to the health of the animal). Chelated minerals have been added (which are highly digestible), digestive enzymes (further increasing digestibility, ensuring that the animal is receiving the maximum amount of nutrition from the food), yucca (which helps reduce stool odor by 30%), and carrots. To top off this list of premium ingredients, we have added Vitamin C (a strong immune system builder), Vitamin E (a natural preservative), and Garlic (promoting a healthy coat and a natural flea repellent).

WHOLESOME TOP NINE BACK TO BASICS INGREDIENTS
PORK MEAL
The pork meal used to produce Back to Basics has passed USDA inspection and is certified Grade A, and steroid and antibiotic free. To be labeled "free" means that they were not added nor were they ever present in the meat. This is a growing concern for the pet food consumer as they are becoming more educated on nutrition for their animals. The "meal" means that it is dried and ground before weighing so that our protein source is truly the first ingredient in the food, unlike most foods, which are weighed in their wet state (80% water weight).
CORN
Our corn comes from a select group of growers in the mid-west and is certified non-GMO (Genetically Modified). The non-GMO is another concern for pet enthusiasts. Corn is 91% digestible, one of the best sources of linoleic acid and Omega 6 & 3 fatty acids, provides essential amino acids and fiber. Corn is nutritionally superior grain compared with others because it contains a balance of nutrients not found in other grains, and it is known as the "King of Carbohydrates". Back to Basics corn is more expensive than most because it is human grade!
CHICKEN FAT
Our chicken fat comes from the same USDA inspected chicken that we eat at our table.
MIXED TOCOPHEROLS
(VITAMIN E, CITRIC ACID, & ROSEMARY EXTRACT) Natural preservatives
OATMEAL
Our oatmeal is inspected and rated for human consumption. (Quaker Brand Oatmeal)
BROWN RICE
Our rice is inspected and rated for human consumption. (Uncle Ben's Brown Rice)
TOMATO POMACE
A great source of fiber and is very high in Lycopene, a natural antioxidant.
DRIED WHOLE EGG
A highly digestible source of protein that has been inspected and rated for human consumption.
HERRING
Our Our herring comes from a domestic hatchery on the Pacific Coast where the fish have proven to be free of Ethoxyquin (a known carcinogenic). Though Back to Basics is an east coast based company, we go across the country to get the best herring available. Quality and attention to detail make the difference between truly superior products.
