Quick Product Snapshot

• Grain-free with no corn, wheat, or soy - suitable for dogs with common grain sensitivities

Ingredient Transparency

The recipe leads with deboned beef, followed by water sufficient for processing, deboned lamb, deboned buffalo, and salmon oil. The triple-protein combination of beef, lamb, and buffalo provides a broader amino acid profile than single-protein recipes in the lineup. Salmon oil delivers omega-3 fatty acids. The formula contains no corn, wheat, soy, or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. All proteins are USDA-inspected and the product is crafted in the USA.

Nutritional Positioning

This wet dog food delivers 9.0% crude protein (min.) and 7.0% crude fat (min.), supported by 78.0% moisture content. The 96% meat content from three red meat sources results in a higher fat level that supports energy needs across all life stages. Unlike the single-protein recipes in the lineup, this formula is AAFCO-certified for all life stages - not just adult maintenance - making it nutritionally appropriate for growing puppies and senior dogs as well. Salmon oil contributes omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat support.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The Real Beef, Lamb + Buffalo format is a rich, meaty wet food with a dense, protein-forward texture. The combination of three red meat proteins creates a complex, bold flavor profile that differs from single-protein recipes. The high meat content and multi-protein aroma can appeal to dogs that are selective about standard single-protein wet food recipes or those that respond well to red meat-based formulas. 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. 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 by mixing increasing amounts with the current food. 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.
