Ingredient Transparency

The first five ingredients are Chicken Meal, Burbank Potato, Norkotah Potato, Chicken Fat, and Whole Blueberries. Chicken meal serves as the concentrated primary protein source, delivering 84% of the formula's protein from cage-free chicken. Two potato varieties provide the carbohydrate base, replacing grains and peas entirely. Whole blueberries are included as a functional ingredient for their natural antioxidant properties. No artificial additives are used in this formulation.

Nutritional Positioning

Crude Protein (min) 25.0% | Crude Fat (min) 14.0% | Crude Fiber (max) 4.0% | Moisture (max) 10.0% | Ash (max) 9.0%

The protein profile is anchored by cage-free chicken, with 84% of total protein derived from the animal source. This supports muscle maintenance and overall vitality in adult dogs. The formula is complete and balanced for adult maintenance as established by AAFCO nutrient profiles.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The small bite, pea-sized kibble is specifically sized for smaller mouths, making it easier for small and medium breed dogs to pick up, chew, and consume. The dry kibble format supports consistent daily feeding routines. Palatability will vary by individual dog preference, as with any dry food formula.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Feed as a complete daily meal. Adjust portions based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. When transitioning from another food, introduce gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with the current diet. Always provide access to fresh, clean water.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Store in a cool, dry place. Seal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Keep out of reach of children and other animals. Consult your veterinarian for specific dietary guidance tailored to your dog's individual needs.
