Whole-Health^™ Ingredients
Include Antibiotic-Free Meat Meals*
With No Added Hormones

Chicken Meal originates in facilities handling chicken for our dinner table. Our Chicken Meal has passed USDA inspection and is antibiotic free and has no added hormones. It is an excellent source of Omega 6 fatty acids, a natural coat and skin conditioner.

Pork Meal

• Pork is the most consumed meat in the world.

• Pork has a higher digestibility than beef, chicken or lamb.

• There are more calories per pound (2825) than beef, chicken, fish or lamb.

• There is an excellent amino acid profile.

• It is a unique protein source.

• Pork is very palatable.

• It is one of only two meats naturally high in L-Carnitine (Linus Pauling Institute)

Pork Production

• Pork produced in the US is 31% leaner than it was twenty years ago.

• Over 100,000,000 pigs are raised in the US each year.

• Production is no longer a back yard business.

• Commercial operations are as efficient as possible so as to reduce overhead.

• Parasites, especially Trichinosis, are virtually non existent in the US hog industry today (Center of Disease Control).

• Trichinosis is easily killed by heat (137 degrees F). Eagle’s extrusion temperatures are 210 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Our pork meal contains only 11% fat, about the same as our fish meal.

Lamb Meal is imported. The sheep are free range and grass fed. Lamb Meal is used in several of our single meat meal formulas.

Anchovy, Sardine & Sardine Meals (low ash/low magnesium) used in Eagle Pack formulas are harvested from pure, cold, Antarctic Ocean waters and put on ice. We buy a special premium grade that is cooked at moderate temperatures. Regular meals are cooked to almost burning temperatures, which greatly reduces nutrient values. Our darker fleshed fish are high in Omega 3 fatty acids, so beneficial to coat and skin health. “Whitefish” (not used in Eagle Pack formulas), is a generic name for a number of species of white fish used in some brands. The species will vary bag-to-bag, formula-to-formula. They have minimal Omega 3 fatty acid levels. The nice white meat from whitefish to to the fish counter at your super market.  The boney skeleton and head that's left goes to other pet food plants.  Bone contributes to high ash levels.  We use the meat from the Anchovy and Sardine, so one amount is low. Most fish meals are preserved with ethoxyquin; our meal is preserved naturally. (DOT and CG permits on file)

Eagle Pack chooses the most digestible sources of
animal protein as seen in the chart below:

Source:  Midwest Laboratories, Breman, Indiana
* Is used as a single source protein in several formulas.

Meat Meals are made from the meat part of the animal, not spare parts, and is what we use in Eagle Pack Super Premium formulas.  We do not use by-products in our diets.

We don't dilute our meat ingredients with water. 

We use a very concentrated form of meats known as meals, which are 11 times more protein-concentrated than "meat".  Foods that list "real chicken/beef" or chicken/beef first include the water weight in this ingredient.  Chicken/beef in this form consists of 70% water.

* The manufacturer counts the weight of the water, and lists chicken first.  With the water removed, your pet is getting 70% less "chicken" than you were led to believe.  Note that four grain products, and by-products are now listed ahead of chicken.
