Ingredient Transparency

Cage-free duck meal sourced from France serves as the single animal protein source, providing 78% of the formula's protein content. Pumpkin and potato are the primary carbohydrate sources, replacing grains and peas entirely. Pumpkin contributes natural fiber and digestive support. Chicken fat is included for palatability and coat health, and is processed free of protein to minimize allergen risk. Blueberries, cranberries, and raspberries are included for their natural antioxidant properties. No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives are used in this formulation.

Nutritional Positioning

This formula is complete and balanced, meeting the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance. The protein profile is derived 78% from cage-free duck meal, with pumpkin and potato providing the remaining carbohydrate-based energy. This concentrated animal protein supports muscle maintenance and overall vitality. This is not a therapeutic or prescription diet - consult your veterinarian for dogs with diagnosed medical conditions.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

This is a standard dry kibble format. The kibble size is appropriate for adult dogs of all breeds. Duck meal and chicken fat contribute to a highly palatable formula that encourages consistent consumption. Dogs transitioning from other dry foods typically adapt well when introduced gradually over 7-10 days.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Feed as a complete daily meal. Adjust portions based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. The 5lb bag is well-suited for smaller dogs, multi-formula households, or pet parents transitioning to this formula. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside meals. Refer to the feeding guide on the packaging for starting portion recommendations.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Keep out of reach of children. Always provide fresh water. Consult your veterinarian before making significant dietary changes.
