Inukshuk began as a specialized kibble designed to meet the intense nutritional requirements of the sled dogs of Canada's North. Sled dogs, like those who participate in the Yukon Quest, race through 1,000 miles of rough arctic terrain in temperatures of -58°F (-50°C). These dogs require a tremendous number of calories stay healthy. Inukshuk Professional Dog Food was invented to keep up with their extreme nutritional demands.

Using our unique vacuum fat infusion process, our 32/32 formula is the highest energy dog food on the planet.It is high protein, high fat, and highly palatable to encourage eating under stress. Using the same technology and professional grade ingredients, Inukshuk 26/16, Inukshuk 30/25, and Marine 25 were created to better serve active and working dogs of all types.

All Inukshuk formulas are GMO-Free, nutritionally dense, and made without any unnecessary filler ingredients.
