The food claims to made with wholesome, nutrient-rich ingredients and will contain no corn or soy, no animal by-products, no artificial colors, no artificial preservatives, and no added sugar.
“Premium pet food is the fastest growing segment in the pet food category,” said Mitch Madoff, global exclusive brands coordinator at Whole Foods Market. “We know how much our customers care about what they feed their pets, so we’re glad to offer a new line of products with premium ingredients at a value price.”
To promote its new Whole Paw line of products, Whole Foods is hosting an “It’s in the Bag” pet photo contest through its Facebook page from October 1 to October 11. Fans are invited to post fun photos of their cats and dogs playing in any Whole Foods Market reusable bag.

Facebook users will also be given an opportunity to vote, with four fan favorites each winning a $25 gift card.
