The Nom Nom Nutrient Mix is what sets Nom Nom apart from your average home-cooked dog food, combining veterinary-formulated recipes with real, healthy dog food ingredients that are prepared individually and cooked at their optimal temperatures. This unique approach helps preserve texture and visible nutrition in every bowl, delivering vibrant, high-quality nutrition you can see, and your dog can thrive on.
Our healthy dog food recipes are carefully crafted by board-certified veterinary nutritionists to provide balanced nutrition tailored to your dog’s life stage. Each recipe is designed to deliver consistent, optimal nutrition in every bowl. This thoughtful approach also accounts for natural ingredient variation, helping ensure your dog receives a complete and balanced meal every time.
Here is a breakdown of each ingredient and why it’s included as an essential part of a healthy dog food recipe:
- Vitamin D - Necessary for normal bone maturation and maintenance of blood calcium levels.
- Vitamin E - Primary antioxidant in the membranes of all cells, critically important line of defense against oxidative stress.
- Vitamin B1 - Like many of the B vitamins, a critical co-factor in the utilization of energy throughout the body and important to normal neurologic function.
- Vitamin B2 - Critical to energy utilization within cells.
- Vitamin B12 - Supports biochemical reactions in the body, contributes to normal red blood cells, and assists in nerve function.
- Iron - A critical mineral for red blood cells and a contributor to the function of some enzymes.
- Iodine - Necessary for normal thyroid function.
- Zinc - A mineral with many jobs, from helping to maintain immune status, the growth of cells, and in skin healing
- Selenium - Assists in the body’s antioxidant defenses
- Copper - An important co-factor in many enzymatic reactions, assists in red blood cell formation and the normal growth of tissues
- Manganese - Plays a role in antioxidant function, bone development, wound healing, and other critical processes
- Taurine - Critical part of compounds in the gut that absorb fats (bile salts) and also appears to maintain normal heart health. Dogs can synthesize taurine whereas cats cannot
- Choline - Helps to transport fat, contribute to important reactions in the body, and also is a component of neurotransmitters.
- Vitamin A - Included in our Nutrient Mix designed specifically for cats. While dogs can convert beta carotene from veggies to Vitamin A, cats require pre-formed Vitam A (i.e. retinol) in their diet because they are carnivores.
Our vet-developed recipes are thoughtfully designed to provide optimal, complete, and balanced nutrition for your dog. This balanced nutritional approach, which includes several fiber-rich ingredients, also supports your dog’s healthy digestion and gut health. By individually preparing ingredients and cooking them at their optimal temperatures, we help preserve nutrients, textures, and flavor, creating healthy dog food meals with nutrition you can see and tailored support for each dog’s unique needs.
