Ingredient Transparency
Canadian pork is the primary meat protein ingredient - food-grade quality, sourced without added hormones, and providing a single-source animal protein with essential amino acids for muscle maintenance and overall vitality.

Apple provides natural fiber, vitamins, and a mild natural sweetness. Potato offers digestible carbohydrates without grains. Kale contributes vitamins A, C, and K alongside antioxidant support. This formula excludes corn, wheat, soy, and common grain allergens. No artificial additives are included.
Nutritional Positioning
Formulated to meet AAFCO nutritional levels for all life stages. Canadian pork provides a concentrated animal-based protein profile that supports lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality across all life stages. The high moisture content makes this formula especially beneficial for dogs who need encouragement to stay hydrated or those transitioning from dry food. This recipe is positioned as a complete and balanced limited ingredient wet food suitable for everyday feeding.
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
The canned wet food format delivers rich pork flavor and high moisture content that appeals to dogs of all sizes and life stages. Porcine plasma enhances palatability, making this formula a reliable option for selective eaters. The mild apple flavor adds a subtle natural sweetness that many dogs find appealing. This formula mixes easily with dry food when used as a topper, adding moisture and flavor to encourage consumption. Palatability and acceptance may vary slightly by individual dog preference.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
Can be served as a complete meal or mixed with dry food as a topper. Adjust portions based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. Transition gradually over 7-10 days when switching from a previous diet. Adjust portions as needed to maintain ideal body condition.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
