Introducing Dried-N-Alive Pet Food
Gently dried pet food. Feed dry or rehydrate.
The food choices you make for your pet can do great things for their health. Knowing this makes it fun to feed the dog and cat!
Solid Gold Northland has added Dried-N-Alive Pet Food to our select catalog of holistic, natural pet foods. Our bodies, as well as our pets, benefit from the inclusion of minimally processed and living foods in our diets. Minimally processed foods are likely to provide many benefits, such as; moisture for the internal organs, active living enzymes and provide a more species appropriate ingredients list without the needed starches for manufacturing.
It’s simple and nutritious- 60% meat, 15 % whole egg, 15% whole fruits and veggies & 10% oil. Dried-N-Alive, also known as D.N.A. is gently dried at low temperatures; the result is a dried, nutritionally alive dog food made without the starch fillers such as grain or potato currently found in most commercial dog foods.
Dried-N-Alive is a new breed of dry food; it starts out as a raw food and is made in a cannery. It is mixed and made into large sausages and refrigerated until it sets up. Then it is diced and sent to a low temperature drying room (instead of being sent off to be cooked inside of a can). This drying process leaves about 2/3 of the amino acids and enzymes intact of raw food. The resulting dried dices of DNA pour and feed just like a kibble, or may be rehydrated with warm water back into its original meaty form.
D.N.A. is both the ultimate filler free dry food, and an environmentally friendly wet food (no aluminum can, no water to ship) when rehydrated. Every 3 lbs of DNA may be compared nutritionally to about 9 pounds of raw food, or 12 – 13.2 oz. cans.

Dried-N-Alive currently offers four complete and balanced formulas for all life stages for dogs.
• Chicken Formula
• Lamb Formula
• Venison and Salmon Formula
• Beef Formula

Kim,
I have sent your question to DNA and will post their reply when I recieve it. In the meantime, here is what I have: The ingredient list does include a Sodium , which is added to foods, such at seafood, meat and poultry to preserve it. My thought is DNA is either using the sodium as a common food preservative or to meet specific nutritional guidelines.
Here is a link to the Chicken Formula for dogs nutritional profile; you will see the % for sodium listed. The chicken formula is their lowest in sodium. http://www.dnapetfood.net/nutrition-information/chicken-canine-formula
Thank you for your question. – Dawn

Kim,
Q: What is Sodium Tripolyphospate and why do you use it?
A: Polyphosphates are essential for life. This ingredient is water soluble, so the body eliminates what it cannot use. Sodium Triployphosphate is a chelating agent (helps bind inorganic minerals to an organic molecule to aid digestibility). This ingredient also helps maintain moisture levels in high meat content products – (the reason you don’t see it used in traditional extruded kibble that is 2/3 flour).

Sharon,
I have learned the two best ways to take weight off while feeding healthy pet food is to cut calories, like with the Solid Gold Holistique Blendz food or reduce carbohyrates. Reducing carbs is what you would be doing with the DNA. DNA is a high meat contanct food (60% for dogs) and low carb…you should see a nice weight reduction in the next 30 days.
I have a 7 lb dog and I feed her @ 1/3 cup of DNA 2 times per day. Adjust accordingly for your little one and go slightly less to get off the extra lb., just make sure you are not over feeding. If you have a tendancy to treat too much in the day, leave some food out of the bowl and give as treats during the day.
Please feel free to phone me if you would like 800-706-0807. – dawn
