Why does Smallbatch pet food use organ meat?Updated a month ago
Organ meat is one of the most nutrient-dense components of a raw or fresh diet. Liver is a rich source of Vitamin A, B vitamins (especially B12 and folate), iron, copper, and zinc — nutrients that are difficult to deliver at meaningful levels through muscle meat alone. Other secreting organs like kidney contribute additional micronutrients and are often called "nature's multivitamin" in raw feeding circles.
Including organ meat at appropriate levels is what allows Smallbatch to minimize supplementation while still meeting AAFCO nutrient requirements. It's whole food nutrition working the way nature intended.
