Quick Product Snapshot

Why Pet Owners Choose This Food

• Fresh duck as the single animal protein - Duck is the first and only animal protein source, making ingredient identification straightforward for owners managing food sensitivities or elimination diets.
• Limited ingredient formulation - The simplified protein profile - duck only, no poultry blends or red meat - makes this a practical option for dogs with known sensitivities to common proteins.
• Cassava as the grain-free carbohydrate base - Cassava replaces grains as the primary carbohydrate source, with no corn, wheat, or soy in the formula.
• Small-batch oven-baking in Canada - Each batch is oven-baked rather than extruded, a gentler process intended to preserve protein integrity, amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants from whole food ingredients.
• Small bite-sized kibble - The compact kibble size accommodates smaller jaw structures and encourages thorough chewing, making it practical for small to medium-sized dogs.
• Omega fatty acids from olive oil and salmon oil - Two oil sources provide omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to support skin and coat condition.
• Whole fruits and vegetables - Peas, apple, blueberries, and pumpkin contribute natural antioxidants and fiber to the formula.

Ingredient Transparency

The primary protein is fresh duck, the sole animal-based protein in this recipe. Cassava serves as the grain-free carbohydrate base. Olive oil and salmon oil provide omega fatty acids. Whole food inclusions - peas, apple, blueberries, and pumpkin - contribute supplemental nutrition. No grains, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives are used. The formula is produced in small batches in Canada.

Nutritional Positioning

This formula is positioned as a complete and balanced meal for adult dog maintenance, meeting AAFCO nutritional standards. The single-protein duck base provides essential amino acids. Optimized calcium and phosphorus levels support skeletal health. Omega fatty acids from olive and salmon oils 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 small bite-sized kibble has a firm, cookie-like texture resulting from the oven-baking process. The compact size makes it easy for small to medium-sized dogs to pick up and chew thoroughly. The duck-forward flavor profile tends to be palatable for dogs, including selective eaters. 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.
