Why HQS Natural Salmon with Carrots: The HQS Natural line revolutionized the pet food industry as the first premium natural pet food made exclusively from ingredients originally destined for human consumption. This simple recipe contains just three ingredients—premium salmon, water, and carrots. The salmon and carrots are preserved in their own natural cooking broth, providing a naturally rich source of highly digestible proteins, essential amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, and micronutrients that support your cat's health.
Salmon Sourcing: Whenever wild-caught salmon is available, it is sourced for this recipe. When wild-caught is not available, farm-raised salmon from the Pacific Northwest is used to ensure the recipe remains available for your pets. All fish ingredients follow high restriction standards for heavy metals.
