Quick Product Snapshot

Why Pet Owners Choose This Food

• Up to 40% fresh chicken - Fresh chicken makes up to 40% of the recipe, approximately double the fresh meat content of typical extruded dry dog foods, delivering concentrated protein essential for puppy muscle development and growth.
• 50% less starch than extruded foods - The low-starch formulation provides nutrient-dense calories without the high carbohydrate load of conventional kibble, supporting healthy growth without excess starch during critical development stages.
• Puppy-specific nutritional positioning - The high fresh meat and low-starch profile addresses the heightened nutritional demands of growing dogs, with optimized nutrients for the rapid growth and development of the puppy life stage.
• 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 essential for puppy development.
• Optimized calcium and phosphorus for skeletal development - Mineral levels are calibrated to support proper bone growth and skeletal development during critical puppy stages across all breed sizes.
• Grain-free with non-GMO fruits and vegetables - No grains are used; non-GMO fruits and vegetables contribute natural vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber to support overall puppy health.
• No artificial additives - Free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, with no added hormones or antibiotics in the chicken sourcing.

Nutritional Positioning

This formula is positioned as a complete and balanced meal for puppies, meeting AAFCO nutritional standards for growth and reproduction. The high fresh chicken content provides concentrated protein and essential amino acids critical for muscle development and overall growth. Optimized calcium and phosphorus levels support proper skeletal development and bone growth during critical puppy stages. The oven-baking process is intended to preserve nutritional integrity compared to high-heat extrusion. The low-starch profile - 50% less than comparable extruded foods - provides nutrient-dense calories appropriate for rapid puppy growth.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The oven-baked kibble has a cookie-like texture resulting from the baking process. The high fresh chicken content contributes to strong palatability, making it suitable for puppies developing their food preferences. The oven-baked texture is generally well-accepted by puppies transitioning from wet food or other kibble formats. 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 puppies. Young puppies typically require 3-4 meals per day, transitioning to twice daily as they mature. Adjust portions based on your puppy's age, weight, and expected adult size to support healthy growth without overfeeding. 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 puppy's breed and growth stage.

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 puppy has known food allergies or sensitivities, review the full ingredient list before feeding. Consult your veterinarian for guidance on transitioning to adult food as your puppy matures.
