Taiga represents a modern approach to nutrition that holds true to historical principles. Animal protein first, highly digestible legume carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, digestive enzymes and essential vitamins and minerals. Real ingredients, sources as local as possible, that enhance health and vitality. A true respect for simple, grain free, highly digestible, meat based diets.
As with all Horizon Pet Nutrition© foods, the majority of ingredients are sources locally from growers we know and trust. We start with animal protein in both a chicken (white meat) and pork (red meat) alternative.
We build our carbohydrates with a combination of legumes. Red lentils, peas, and farbanzo beans provide high dietary fiber yet low glycemic energy without the use of any processed grains.
The animal protein and carbohydrate foundation is rounded out with raw fruits and vegetables like apples, pineapple, blueberries, carrots, broccoli and bok choy.
We rebalance the ancestral attributes of meat, legumes, raw fruits and vegetables that are taken through a low temperature cooking process with vitamins and minerals, and a post cooking application of prebiotics, probiotics and natural enzymes to restore the best qualities of the raw ingredients impacted by modern cooking.
