Some nutrition education!

What are ‘fillers?

Fillers have no nutritional value.
Some pet owners consider grains/carbohydrates as fillers.
They are not ‘fillers’ if formulated correctly.
They should NEVER be the FIRST ingredient!
Used correctly, carbohydrates provide specific nutritional value.


In a kitchen sink approach to formulating dog foods...

It is
referring to inclusion of multiple ingredients in any one dog food formula.
For the majority of otherwise healthy and allergy-free pets it's a really good thing. Sure ONE protein companies want you to think other wise, but each ingredient contributes it's very own nutrition profile in that dog food. This is important to prevent leaving out specific nutrients but most important with multiple protein or carbohydrate sources it prevents the likely hood of developing a food allergy (allergic reaction). This is because any one protein/carb is limited and thus the body of your pet can't build up antibodies against it
 If a pet has an allergy, IBD, crystals or some other health issue, then you want to limit ingredients. We make both types of formulas.



We feed a variety of the Eagle Pack
Products out there.

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:

Meat
Diets
%
Digestible
Used in
Eagle Pack® Diets
Lamb* 87.800% Yes
Chicken 91.400% Yes
Pork* 93.900% Yes
Fish 95.500% Yes

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.

Some brands lead you to expect this much "real" chicken/beef.
