Nutra Complete Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Food
The flagship of the range — Nutra Complete dog food is a complete and balanced freeze-dried raw meal made with real protein (beef, chicken, or pork), organ meats, vegetables, and superfoods. It delivers the best raw dog food experience in a shelf-stable, easy-to-serve format. Serve dry or rehydrate with warm water for a wet food texture your dog will love.
Nutra Complete Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food
The same freeze-dried raw philosophy, tailored for cats. Made with chicken, heart, liver, and gizzard, this healthy food for cats provides complete adult nutrition with a protein-first recipe cats naturally gravitate toward. Can be served dry or rehydrated for enhanced aroma and palatability.

Freeze-dried treats made from one ingredient — real meat. Available in beef liver, chicken liver, and wild salmon for cats. Clean, protein-rich, and perfect for training or rewarding without adding unnecessary fillers to your pet's diet.
Nutra Minis — Air-Dried Training Treats
Small, low-calorie air-dried training treats made with real protein — beef or chicken — and none of the junk. Designed for repetition-based training sessions where a smaller, consistent reward works best.

A targeted supplement combining collagen, MSM, chondroitin, and natural anti-inflammatory ingredients to support joint comfort and mobility. A great complement to Nutra Complete dog food for senior or active dogs needing additional joint care.
Factors to Consider When Buying
- Current Diet: Nutra Complete can replace your dog's existing food entirely or be used as a topper or mixer; decide based on your pet's needs and your budget
- Life Stage: While formulas support all life stages, portion sizes vary significantly by weight and age; always follow the feeding guidelines
- Transition Gradually: Switching to freeze-dried raw dog food too quickly can cause digestive upset; mix it with current food over 7–10 days
- Supplement vs. Meal: Nutra Thrive is a dog food supplement, not a meal replacement; it works alongside a complete diet

FAQs
Q: What is Nutra Complete dog food, and how is it different from regular kibble?
A: Nutra Complete is a freeze-dried raw dog food made with real meat, organ meats, and superfoods — processed without high heat, so nutrients and natural flavors are preserved. Unlike regular kibble, it contains no fillers, grains, or artificial additives, making it a significantly cleaner and more bioavailable source of dog food nutrition.
Q: Is Ultimate Pet Nutrition good for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
A: Yes. Nutra Complete is grain-free, free from artificial additives, and made with easily digestible whole ingredients — making it a strong choice as a healthy dog food for pets with digestive sensitivities. Introducing it gradually over 7–10 days helps minimize any transition-related stomach upset.
Q: Can Nutra Thrive replace a multivitamin for my dog?
A: Nutra Thrive is a comprehensive 40-in-1 dog food supplement covering vitamins, probiotics, digestive enzymes, joint support, and antioxidants — making additional supplements generally unnecessary for most healthy dogs. That said, consult your vet if your dog has specific deficiencies or medical conditions.
Q: How do I serve Nutra Complete freeze-dried dog food?
A: Serve it straight from the bag for a crunchy texture, or rehydrate it using a 2:1 food-to-water ratio — add warm water, let it soak for about three minutes, mix, and serve. It can also be used as a best raw dog food mixer alongside your dog's current diet.
Q: Is there a freeze-dried raw food option for cats too?
A: Yes. Ultimate Pet Nutrition's Nutra Complete Chicken Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food offers the same minimally processed, protein-first approach for cats — made with chicken and organ meats, complete and balanced for adult cats, and easy to serve dry or rehydrated.
