1. Q:

   What makes NUTRO™ ingredients clean?

   A:

   To us, clean is simple, purposeful and trustworthy. This means: We will exclusively source non-GMO ingredients† as close to their native form as possible. We will never add artificial preservatives, flavors or colors. We will not use ingredients like chicken by-product meal, corn, wheat or soy protein and will only use ingredients that serve a precise purpose in each recipe. We will also source our ingredients from trusted farmers and suppliers.

    

   In 2014, we started the process by sourcing non-GMO ingredients† and have continued by introducing rigorous GMO testing processes for the NUTRO™ dry dog and cat food lines.

    

   Today, every recipe in our NUTRO™ and ULTRA™ dog and cat food portfolio meets our high standards. We won't rest until choosing any NUTRO™ product means choosing clean for your pet.

2. Q:

   What is the difference between "natural" and "clean"?

   A:

   Our philosophy goes beyond the regulatory definition of "natural." While "natural" pet foods do not allow the use of artificial or synthetic ingredients, they may contain ingredients like corn, wheat, soy and genetically modified ingredients. Our philosophy reinforces our commitment to natural ingredients, purposeful nutrition, and quality and food safety.
