Description
Turkey is one of the most digestible proteins a dog can eat, and dark thigh meat is where the nutrition lives. Boneless turkey thigh carries more natural fat, more taurine, and a richer flavour profile than breast — everything that makes a raw meal satisfying, complete, and something dogs come back to eagerly.
The Island Turkey Blend was built to take full advantage of that foundation. Every ingredient was selected deliberately. Every one of them has a job to do.
What’s Inside and Why It Matters
Turkey Boneless Thigh
The heart of this blend. Dark turkey thigh delivers complete muscle protein, natural fats, and a meaningful level of naturally occurring taurine — the amino acid critical to heart health and vision that many processed diets fail to provide in adequate amounts. Thigh is chosen over breast specifically because its fat and nutrient density make for a more complete, more satisfying meal. At 51% of the blend, turkey is doing the heavy lifting here in every sense.
Turkey Neck with Bone
Raw bone is nature’s calcium and phosphorus delivery system. Turkey neck is ground through the blend to provide both minerals in their most bioavailable form, supporting strong bones, healthy teeth, and the firm, well-formed stools that raw feeders come to rely on. The bone is what separates a complete raw diet from simply feeding ground meat.
Beef Liver
The most nutrient-dense ingredient in the bowl. Beef liver delivers preformed Vitamin A, iron, copper, zinc, and a full spread of B vitamins in concentrations that synthetic supplements cannot match for bioavailability. Included at a precise 4.7% — enough to drive real nutritional completeness without overwhelming digestion. Nature’s multivitamin, used exactly as nature intended.
Beef Kidney
Kidney adds selenium, Vitamin B12, and organ variety to the blend. Feeding two organ types mirrors what a dog would consume from a whole prey animal, distributing the nutritional load naturally across multiple sources. Selenium in particular supports thyroid function, immune health, and antioxidant defense.
Whole Egg
One of the most complete single ingredients available. Whole egg contributes highly bioavailable protein, healthy fats, choline for brain and liver function, biotin for skin and coat health, and a full amino acid profile that complements the turkey base. For a lean protein formula, egg is also doing important work on the fat side — bringing the energy profile to where an active adult dog needs it.
Sardine
Sardine is included for two nutrients that land-based proteins cannot reliably provide — Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamin D supports bone metabolism, immune regulation, and cellular health. Omega-3 supports skin, coat, joint health, and helps balance the omega-6 content naturally present in poultry. Fed whole, including bones and organs, sardine contributes additional trace minerals and iodine alongside its primary nutritional role.
Green-Lipped Mussel Powder
One of the most studied natural joint support ingredients available in pet nutrition. Green-lipped mussel from New Zealand provides a unique combination of omega-3 fatty acids including ETA — a rare fatty acid with documented anti-inflammatory properties — alongside glucosamine and chondroitin that support cartilage health and joint mobility. For active dogs, aging dogs, or any dog whose owner wants to get ahead of joint health, this ingredient earns its place in every batch.
Sweet Potato
Fiber, potassium, and complex carbohydrate energy. Sweet potato supports healthy digestion and gut motility, and potassium is an essential mineral for muscle and nerve function. Included at a level that contributes meaningfully without diluting the protein-forward nature of the blend.
Carrots
Beta carotene, additional fiber, and natural antioxidants. Carrots contribute to the overall micronutrient profile, add a gentle natural sweetness that enhances palatability, and hold up well in a raw grind without becoming watery.
Spinach
Included at a modest level for trace minerals, phytonutrients, iron, and folate. Kept intentionally measured — enough to contribute to the micronutrient picture without affecting palatability or stool smell.
Pumpkin
One of the most reliable digestive regulators in raw feeding. Pumpkin’s soluble fiber helps moderate stool consistency — firming loose stools and softening hard ones depending on what the individual dog needs. A quiet but consistent contributor to digestive comfort in every batch.
Snap Beans
A clean, low-calorie source of fiber, Vitamin K, and manganese. Snap beans round out the vegetable profile with additional digestive support and a natural crunch that contributes to texture variety in the grind.
Kale
Included at a small, functional level for Vitamin K, calcium, and antioxidant phytonutrients. Kale is one of the most nutrient-dense leafy greens available and earns its modest inclusion through meaningful micronutrient contribution kept well within palatability limits.
Wheat Germ Oil
Natural Vitamin E — the primary fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes and supports skin, coat, and immune health. Wheat germ oil also acts as a carrier for fat-soluble nutrients throughout the blend, improving their absorption and bioavailability. Stored refrigerated after opening to preserve freshness.
Nutritional Yeast
A whole-food source of B-complex vitamins — B1 through B6 — supporting energy metabolism, nervous system function, and coat health. Nutritional yeast also enhances the natural flavor profile of the blend in a way most dogs respond to immediately.
Kelp
A natural whole-food iodine source kept at trace levels to support healthy thyroid function and metabolic regulation. Kelp delivers iodine in its most bioavailable whole-food form alongside a small contribution of additional trace minerals.
Oysters
Included for zinc — a mineral that poultry-based diets can run lean on without a corrective whole-food source. Canned oysters provide highly bioavailable zinc that supports immune function, skin health, coat quality, and wound healing. A small inclusion with an outsized nutritional contribution.
Calcium Carbonate
One precision correction in an otherwise entirely whole-food recipe. Used at a measured inclusion to bring the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio into optimal balance alongside the bone already in the formula — ensuring the mineral profile meets AAFCO Adult Maintenance standards completely.
Complete and Balanced
Formulated to meet AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for Adult Maintenance. Every ingredient serves a purpose. Nothing added for appearance. Nothing hidden from the label.
Real food. Lean protein. Built by a butcher who knows what goes in the bowl.
