Quick Product Snapshot

Why Pet Owners Choose This Food

• Sardine and pollock as the sole animal proteins - Both protein sources are fish, providing a clean, limited-ingredient marine protein base that simplifies ingredient identification for owners managing food sensitivities or elimination diets.
• Fish-only protein category - No poultry or red meat is included, making this a practical option for dogs with known sensitivities to common land-based proteins such as chicken, beef, or lamb.
• Naturally occurring omega fatty acids from whole fish - Sardine and pollock are naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, complemented by olive oil and salmon oil, supporting skin and coat condition from multiple sources.
• Whole fruits and vegetables - Dried peas, carrots, apples, spinach, and blueberries contribute natural vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber to the formula.
• Limited ingredient formulation - The simplified protein profile reduces the number of animal protein variables, making it easier to manage for dogs on restricted ingredient diets.
• Grain-free formula - No corn, wheat, or soy; the formula is lower in starch than conventional extruded kibbles.
• No artificial additives - Free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, with optimized calcium and phosphorus levels for adult dogs.

Ingredient Transparency

The primary protein sources are sardine and pollock - the sole animal proteins in this recipe. Olive oil and salmon oil provide additional omega fatty acids. Whole food inclusions - dried peas, carrots, apples, spinach, and blueberries - contribute supplemental nutrition. No corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives are used. The formula is oven-baked in small batches.

Nutritional Positioning

This formula is positioned as a complete and balanced meal for adult dog maintenance, meeting AAFCO nutritional standards. The sardine and pollock protein combination provides essential amino acids and naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids. Optimized calcium and phosphorus levels support skeletal health. Omega fatty acids from olive oil, salmon oil, and the whole fish ingredients contribute to skin and coat condition. The oven-baking process is intended to preserve nutritional integrity compared to high-heat extrusion. Lower in starch than conventional extruded kibbles.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The oven-baked kibble has a cookie-like texture resulting from the baking process. The fish-forward flavor profile from sardine and pollock tends to be highly palatable for dogs, including selective eaters. The oven-baked texture is generally well-accepted by dogs transitioning from extruded kibble. Kibble texture may vary slightly based on storage conditions - keep sealed in a cool, dry place after opening.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Feed as a complete daily meal for adult dogs. Adjust portions based on your dog's weight, activity level, and body condition. When transitioning from another food, gradually introduce over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts of Lotus with the current food. Always provide fresh, clean water. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding recommendations based on your dog's individual needs.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Keep fresh water available at all times. If your dog has known food allergies or sensitivities, review the full ingredient list before feeding.
