Ingredient Transparency

Pork is the primary protein ingredient - Canadian-sourced, food-grade quality with no added hormones, providing highly digestible protein and essential amino acids for muscle development and maintenance. Rice serves as the primary carbohydrate source, offering digestible, sustained energy without the complexity of grain-free alternatives. Porcine plasma contributes additional protein and enhances palatability. Dried yeast supplies B vitamins and supports digestive health. Apple provides natural fiber and nutrients. Kale delivers vitamins A, C, and K alongside antioxidants. Blueberries, raspberries, and cranberries provide antioxidant support for immune function and urinary tract health. Carrots contribute beta carotene and fiber. Proteinated minerals (zinc, iron, copper, manganese) offer enhanced absorption. Taurine supports cardiovascular health.

Nutritional Positioning

Formulated to meet AAFCO nutritional levels for all life stages, including growth and reproduction. Crude protein (min) 8% (approximately 44% on a dry matter basis) supports muscle maintenance across all life stages. Crude fat (min) 5% provides energy and palatability. Crude fiber (max) 1.5% supports gentle digestion. Moisture (max) 82% makes this formula especially beneficial for dogs who need encouragement to stay hydrated.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The canned wet food format delivers high moisture content and rich pork flavor that appeals to dogs of all sizes and life stages. Porcine plasma enhances palatability, making this formula a reliable option for selective eaters. The wet format 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. Puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs require more calories and should be fed accordingly. Transition gradually over 7-10 days when switching from a previous diet.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Refrigerate unused portions and use within 2-3 days of opening. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside feeding. Consult your veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations tailored to your dog's health needs.
