Wild Caught | Glossary

Wild-caught refers to animals, typically fish, sourced directly from their natural environment rather than raised in farms. Their natural diet and movement can influence nutritional composition. 

Because these animals forage and move freely, their muscle development and fat profiles can vary more naturally compared to farm-raised sources. This variability reflects real environmental conditions rather than controlled feeding systems. 

Wild-caught sourcing also means the animal’s life cycle is shaped by its habitat, which can contribute to differences in texture, density, and overall composition. For pet owners, the term often signals a more natural origin, where the ingredient has been influenced by its environment rather than standardized production methods.
