Ingredient Transparency
Ocean fish meal leads the ingredient list as a concentrated, highly digestible protein source rich in essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids. Chicken meal and lamb meal appear further in the formula, reinforcing the multi-protein approach. Oatmeal and rice serve as digestible grain sources providing sustained energy and dietary fiber. Pea starch, chickpeas, lentils, and peas contribute additional carbohydrates, fiber, and plant-based protein. Chicken fat preserved with mixed tocopherols delivers omega-6 fatty acids. Tomato pomace provides lycopene and dietary fiber. Brewer's dried yeast supplies B vitamins. The formula contains no corn or wheat. Rosemary extract serves as a natural preservative. All primary ingredients are regionally sourced from within the Pacific Northwest.
Nutritional Positioning
Crude Protein (min) 24% | Crude Fat (min) 14% | Crude Fiber (max) 4% | Moisture (max) 10% | Omega-6 Fatty Acids (min) 2.5% | Omega-3 Fatty Acids (min) 0.6%. The 24% protein level supports muscle maintenance across all life stages. Moderate fat content (14%) provides energy without excess calories. Elevated omega-3 content from ocean fish meal supports skin, coat, joint, and cognitive health. This formula meets the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, including growth of large size dogs (70 lb or more as an adult).
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
Skoki Coastal is a standard dry kibble format. The fish-forward protein profile and multi-protein blend tend to be palatable for dogs that respond well to seafood-based formulas. Kibble size is appropriate for all breed sizes with portion adjustments. Dogs transitioning from other protein bases may require a gradual introduction period to allow digestive adjustment.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
Feed as a complete and balanced daily meal. Adjust portions based on your dog's weight, life stage, activity level, and body condition. Large breed puppies require controlled feeding to support proper growth rate and skeletal development. Pregnant or nursing dogs require additional calories and should be fed accordingly. Transition gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food to minimize digestive upset. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding recommendations based on your dog's individual needs.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
Store in a cool, dry place. Seal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside meals. Monitor your dog's weight and body condition regularly and adjust portions as needed.
