Ingredient Transparency
Chicken leads the ingredient list as the sole protein source, providing complete amino acid nutrition in a single-animal-protein profile. The formula is intentionally minimal - no grains, cereals, starches, fillers, or by-products are included. Natural gums (guar gum, agar-agar) provide texture consistency without adding sodium or complex additives. Chelated minerals (zinc, iron, copper, manganese, cobalt amino acid chelates) are formulated for enhanced bioavailability. No salt is added, supporting the restricted sodium specification.
Nutritional Positioning
Dave's Restricted Diet Low Sodium Chicken is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance of adult dogs. The restricted sodium level (0.12% maximum) is specifically designed for dogs requiring controlled sodium intake as part of veterinary-guided dietary management. Use only as directed by your veterinarian.
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
The wet food format delivers a smooth, consistent texture that is easy to consume and digest. The single-protein chicken formulation provides a clean, mild flavor profile. The high moisture content (77%) supports hydration, which is particularly relevant for dogs on sodium-restricted diets where fluid balance may be a consideration. Works well as a standalone complete meal or as a low-sodium topper to complement existing restricted diets - adjust total daily portions to maintain appropriate sodium intake as directed by your veterinarian.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
Use only as directed by your veterinarian. As a general guideline when approved, feed approximately 1 to 1-1/2 cans per 15 lbs of body weight per day, adjusting based on your dog's activity level, body condition, and specific health parameters. When transitioning to this formula, gradually introduce over 5-7 days by mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food. Regular veterinary monitoring is essential when feeding specialized restricted diets.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
Always provide access to clean, fresh water. Refrigerate unused portions in a covered container and use within 3 days of opening. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Monitor your dog's response and consult your veterinarian with any questions about this specialized diet.
