Even though the popularity of Bison has increased significantly in the past couple of decades, the national population is still small. There are currently about 500,000 Bison in the United States and Canada while, comparatively, there are about 29.3 million beef cattle in the United States alone. Of those 500,000 Bison, only about 40,000 are slaughtered each year. This accounts for the competitive market and limited availability of Bison for both human and pet food such as Bison Beef dog food.

We at Northwest Naturals are very pleased to offer our Bison & Beef Dinner for Dogs, which includes the great benefits of bison in a convenient and affordable way to feed your pet.

Some of the exciting benefits of Bison beef dog food include:

Lean Meat: Bison has less fat than skinless chicken breast and salmon

Iron: Bison contains more iron than beef, chicken, pork, or fish

Protein: Bison contains about 40% more protein per ounce than beef

Nutritionally Dense: Due to the proportion of protein, fat, minerals, and fatty acids to the caloric value

Fatty Acids: Bison meat has a well-proportioned ratio of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids

Selenium: Bison has a high concentration of the “mood elevator” element, Selenium

These wonderful benefits of Bison are all included in the Bison & Beef Dinner for Dogs, available in our Original Nugget Diet and our Dinner Bars, both of which are designed for quality, convenience, and value.
