Guineafowl Grind
red meat. Whole Guineafowl, Pasture Raised.
Guinea fowl is one of the few birds classified as red meat, delivering a protein profile and mineral density closer to red meat species than conventional poultry.
Most people think of poultry as white meat. Guineafowl breaks that rule entirely. Biologically classified as red meat, guinea provides richer iron and zinc levels than chicken or turkey, with a lean profile that makes it a standout rotation protein for dogs and cats alike. The result is a complete, nutrient-dense meal base that delivers real variety without sacrificing the nutritional structure your pet needs. Guineafowl Grind is the rare poultry that genuinely earns its place among red meat proteins. This is a seasonal item with limited availability, so stock up when it is in. Cat owners must add a taurine supplement.

Guinea fowl is biologically classified as red meat, making it one of the only birds that delivers the mineral richness of a red meat protein. At 73.8 ppm zinc and 35.1 ppm iron on a dry matter basis, the Guineafowl Grind punches well above its weight as a rotation protein, supporting coat health, immune function, and oxygen transport in both dogs and cats.
