Bioavailability

The percentage of nutrients – the good stuff in food – ‘available’ for your pet’s digestive system to convert into a robust body, strong bones, and shining coat.

Simply, we are dedicated to the long term health of your pet. Each of our formulas takes into consideration the nutritional needs of your dog or cat. From our first recipe, NutriSource Adult Chicken and Rice, to limited ingredient PureVita diets, to our most recent high animal protein Element Series diets, we recognize the importance we play in nourishing your pet.

Your Pet Digests More From Our Foods – That’s The Difference

The fact is your pet’s digestive system is short. Proper absorption of nutrition won’t happen unless a balanced, nutrient dense pet food is consumed. Therefore, your pet will benefit from any help it can get in breaking down meat (proteins) and carbohydrates. In nature, pre-digested grains (found in the stomach of prey) and decaying meat provide the most food nutrients. That’s why at NutriSource we help mimic nature by providing a powerful digestive aide called Good 4 Life® that helps your animal breakdown food into nutrients for digestion. Our potent blend of pre and probiotics and bioavailable minerals provide your animal maximum bioavailability, the opportunity to digest the most amount of nutrients in the shortest amount of time in order for your pet to live a happy and healthy life.

NutriSource SuperStars Giving Program

SuperStars are go-getters, givers and life-changers.

At NutriSource, we want to help these SuperStars shine bigger and brighter, so they have the resources they need to do the good they do.

Whenever you buy NutriSource for your pet, the benefits multiply. Because some of the proceeds from every purchase are going back into some really great, life-changing programs and initiatives in communities across the country.

Giving back is part of NutriSource’s core values

We give because we’re grateful for our success. We know we wouldn’t be successful without you. And we want to direct that into these causes.

That evolved into our SuperStars Giving Program. This lets us better showcase the good things that are happening in the world. At the same time, we want to uplift these SuperStars.

Read on to learn how NutriSource gives back with every purchase.

NutriSource Facility Dog Program

Meet Rocket. He’s a SuperStar to everyone he meets!

That’s because Rocket spends his day visiting children getting treatment and their families.

You’ll find him with his kind handler at the M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. Watch this video to learn more about the impact of Rocket.

Because Rocket brings so much love and comfort to people who need it, we decided to get more SuperStars into hospitals and expand the program!

In early 2022, more facility dogs will be joining the SuperStar team.

Thanks to you, we’ll be making an even bigger impact on the well-being and care of those getting treatment.

Soldier’s 6

A dog can be so much more than just a human’s best friend. For military veterans and first responders, service dogs can play a crucial role in assisting those heroes as they navigate physical and emotional challenges of the next stages of their lives. 

Soldier’s 6 mission is to provide honorably discharged veterans, police officers, and fire fighters with specially trained K-9’s. These special dogs will become their Battle Buddy and help guide them through the difficult days in life. They chose the name Soldier’s 6 because that is what a service dog has, it’s Battle Buddy’s 6 (or back).
