- Dual omega fatty acid sources from both salmon oil and flaxseed oil support healthy skin and coat condition

Ingredient Transparency
The recipe leads with deboned beef, followed by beef broth and vegetable broth as primary moisture and flavor sources. Potatoes and carrots provide natural carbohydrate sources and fiber. Salmon oil and flaxseed oil both contribute omega fatty acids - salmon oil for omega-3s and flaxseed oil for additional omega-3 and omega-6 support. The formula contains no corn, wheat, soy, or artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or by-products. The product is crafted in the USA.
Nutritional Positioning
This wet dog food delivers 8.0% crude protein (min.) and 3.0% crude fat (min.), supported by 82.0% moisture content. The higher moisture level compared to standard 78% wet food recipes contributes meaningfully to daily fluid intake. The lower fat level relative to the 96% meat recipes reflects the vegetable-inclusive, broth-forward formulation. Dual omega sources from salmon oil and flaxseed oil provide both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid support. This recipe meets the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
The Pappy Pot Roast format features large, hearty beef chunks in a savory gravy with potato and carrot inclusions. The big chunk format is the defining characteristic of the Grain Free Chunky lineup - providing a more substantial, pot roast-style eating experience than standard chunk-in-gravy or pate formats. The combination of USDA beef, savory broth, and classic pot roast vegetables creates a familiar, home-cooked aroma and flavor profile. Serving at room temperature improves palatability compared to refrigerated portions.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
Can be served as a complete meal or as a premium topper over dry kibble. For dogs over 100 lbs, add 1/3 can for each additional 10 lbs. If feeding alongside dry food, reduce wet amount by 6 oz for every 1/2 cup of dry food. Adjust portions based on your dog's weight, age, activity level, and individual metabolism. For puppies, feed more frequently and adjust portions based on expected adult weight and growth stage. When transitioning from another food, introduce gradually over 7-10 days. Always provide fresh water alongside meals. Refrigerate unused portions and use within 3 days.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. After opening, cover and refrigerate unused portions and use within 3 days. Serve at room temperature for best palatability. Always provide fresh water. Keep out of reach of children. If your dog has a known health condition or dietary restriction, consult your veterinarian before changing their diet.
