OPTIMUM is the newest formulation handcrafted by N-R-G. OPTIMUM is a
blend is of two distinct feeding protocols. This diet series contains dehydrated
protein that has been cooked before dehydrating and protein that is raw when
dehydrated. N-R-G recognizes that dogs, like humans, are all individuals and
as individuals within a species, lifestyle, genetics, and environment all
contribute to the individual. To truly thrive as individuals we cannot all enjoy
the same menu.

This basic premise is why we research new diet ideas. Some of our canine
companions thrive on N-R-G Vitality and simply will not eat anything else, while
others are at their best when N-R-G Maxim is offered at mealtime.

As individuals, canines can have special dietary needs. Specifically, canines
new to natural foods, large dogs with robust appetites and the canine athlete
with their extreme calorie requirements present a challenge. The development
N-R-G OPTIMUM began as we searched to ease the transition into natural
foods for those canines who had only eaten processed foods. The result is an
OPTIMUM blend of cooked protein, dehydrated from raw protein, increased
vegetables, and a reduced grain component.

N-R-G OPTIMUM is the diet we recommend for those new to natural feeding.
The vegetable and oat fiber mix has soothing effect on the intestinal tract
producing a firm stool in canines new to natural food or those dogs whose size
or activity level dictate that their dinner bowl must be  full to the brim.
