- Description
Against the Grain Nothing Else Duck is a single-ingredient wet dog food built on one principle: less is more. With 100% duck as the sole ingredient, this recipe eliminates every common allergen, filler, and additive to deliver pure novel poultry protein in its most transparent form. No grains, no glutens, no gums, no corn, wheat, or soy - and no added water. The natural loaf-in-gravy texture forms entirely from duck's inherent properties. Made in the USA in BPA-free cans, this formula is ideal for adult dogs on elimination diets, those with sensitivities to common proteins like chicken, beef, or fish, or owners who demand complete ingredient accountability.

Ingredient Transparency
The ingredient list for Nothing Else Duck contains one item: duck. There are no grains, glutens, gums, corn, wheat, soy, by-products, artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. No added water is used - the natural moisture from duck itself creates the loaf-in-gravy texture. Duck provides complete essential amino acids, naturally occurring B vitamins including niacin and B12, and minerals such as iron, selenium, and zinc. As a novel protein, duck is less commonly found in standard dog food formulas, making it a useful option for dogs with identified sensitivities to more prevalent protein sources. Ingredient claims are based on manufacturer-provided information.
Nutritional Positioning
Against the Grain Nothing Else Duck is formulated for adult dogs of all breeds. The single-duck formula delivers concentrated novel poultry protein (minimum 11.0% as fed / 35.4% dry matter basis) and fat (minimum 7.0% as fed / 22.5% dry matter basis) without plant proteins, starches, or thickening agents. Its novel protein status makes it particularly well-suited as a foundation for elimination diet protocols or as a rotational feeding option alongside the Beef and Chicken Nothing Else varieties. This recipe is intended for adult dogs - consult your veterinarian for dogs with diagnosed food allergies or medical conditions.
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
Nothing Else Duck has a firm, natural loaf-in-gravy texture formed entirely from duck without gums or added water. The soft loaf consistency is easy to consume for dogs of all sizes, including those with dental sensitivities. The duck flavor is distinct and palatable, often well-accepted by dogs that have become selective about more common proteins. It can be served directly from the can at room temperature or slightly warmed. It can also be crumbled over dry kibble as a single-ingredient novel protein topper. Individual preference will vary by dog.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
Feed according to your dog's weight and activity level. Suggested daily amounts: 10 lbs - 1/2 to 3/4 can; 20 lbs - 3/4 to 1-1/2 cans; 30 lbs - 1-1/2 to 2 cans. Adjust portions based on age, activity level, and body condition to maintain optimal weight. When introducing Nothing Else, transition gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food. Always provide access to clean, fresh water.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate unused portions and use within 36 hours. Always provide fresh water alongside meals. Packaged in BPA-free cans for safe, long-term storage.
