Ingredient Transparency
The primary ingredient is cage-free, boneless chicken sourced from British Columbia, Canada, without added hormones. Quality rice is included as the single grain component in this Grain Friendly formula. The recipe excludes corn, wheat, soy, gluten, peas, and potato. No carrageenan, guar gum, or artificial thickeners are used. The natural consistency of this wet dog food comes from the ingredients themselves, without the addition of binding agents or artificial additives.
Nutritional Positioning
This formula delivers 96% of its protein from cage-free chicken and 4% from grains. Guaranteed analysis: crude protein (min) 10%, crude fat (min) 5%, crude fiber (max) 1%, moisture (max) 82%. It is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, making it suitable as a complete and balanced daily meal. It can also be used as a complement to dry food for added moisture and variety.
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
This is a moist, canned wet dog food with a gum-free consistency. The natural texture comes from the chicken and rice ingredients without artificial thickeners. High moisture content (max 82%) supports hydration and can be beneficial for dogs who need encouragement to consume adequate fluids. The single protein, single grain format is well-suited for dogs with ingredient sensitivities or simplified dietary needs.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
Feed as a complete meal or mix with dry food for enhanced palatability and moisture. Adjust portions based on your dog's weight, activity level, and individual metabolism. When transitioning to this formula, gradually introduce over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food. Refrigerate unused portions and use within 3 days of opening.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate unused portions after opening and use within 3 days. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside feeding. Consult your veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations tailored to your dog's individual needs.
