Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

Standard dry kibble texture suitable for dogs of all sizes. The salmon-forward flavor profile is well-suited to dogs that prefer fish-based recipes or those with sensitivities to common poultry proteins. The ancient grain base provides a familiar, digestible texture that transitions well for dogs moving from other grain-inclusive formulas.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Feed as a complete daily meal. Adjust portions based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level to maintain ideal body condition. Transition gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food to support digestive comfort during the switch. Always provide fresh, clean water. Consult your veterinarian for specific recommendations based on your dog's individual health needs.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container. Seal the bag tightly after each use to preserve freshness. Mixed tocopherols and citric acid are used to maintain freshness naturally. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside meals.
