Variety
Our total-feeding system is what sets us apart. Every box of ROTATIONS contains three separate bags, each a different holistic pet food formula derived from meat-first lean protein. Select ingredients are handpicked from the finest natural choices to address all your pet's nutritional needs. They blend together behind each flavor to provide an array of broad-based benefits, creating a framework of essential nutrients in meaningful levels that are easy to absorb. That means your pet is getting everything he/she needs for optimal health, no matter what stage of life.
Complementary Ingredients
Unlike many other pet foods that only change the protein source in their different flavors, ROTATIONS uses completely different ingredients across each of our three formulas to avoid over-saturation and provide pets with a broader, more complete nutrient panel across the system as a whole. Many foods in the same groups provide different nutritional benefits (for example, apples are an excellent source of fiber while oranges are renowned for vitamin C, but both are fruits), so we incorporate a variety rather than just changing the protein source. For example, we include cranberries in our lamb formula as a natural source of vitamin C and potassium; it also helps prevent bladder infections by blocking the ability of bacteria to attach to the bladder wall. In our chicken formula, we incorporate blueberries instead, to provide a natural boost of antioxidants. Since all of our recipes are formulated with even levels of diverse nutrients, your pet receives a wide variety of nutrients that work together to create a complete, healthy diet, without the kind of digestive upset that can occur by changing formulas that aren't perfectly balanced with one another.
