Using Vegetarian-fed, free-range turkey, Steve's gentle freeze-drying process removes moisture at low temperature without heat, locking in the natural enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals of fresh raw food in every tater-tot-sized nugget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLean turkey is a moderate-fat, highly digestible protein source — excellent for dogs that need to maintain a healthy weight or are sensitive to richer proteins like beef or pork.
