Quick Product Snapshot

Why Pet Owners Choose This Food

• Dual protein from real beef and salmon provides ingredient variety in a single recipe
• Beef is the first ingredient - no fillers, by-products, or unnamed protein sources
• Grain-free formula with no corn, wheat, or soy - suitable for dogs with common grain sensitivities
• Green beans contribute natural fiber and additional nutrients alongside the protein base
• High moisture content from beef broth and salmon broth supports daily hydration
• Single-serve 3.5 oz trays eliminate measuring and reduce waste for small breed feeding routines
• Sourced and crafted in the USA with no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors

Ingredient Transparency

The recipe leads with beef, followed by beef broth and salmon broth as primary moisture and flavor sources. Beef liver adds organ-based nutrition, green beans provide natural fiber, and dried egg whites contribute additional protein. Real salmon appears further in the ingredient list as a secondary protein source. The formula contains no corn, wheat, soy, or artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. All ingredients are sourced and the product is crafted in the USA.

Nutritional Positioning

This wet dog food delivers a protein-forward nutritional profile with 8.5% crude protein (min.) and 3.5% crude fat (min.), supported by 82.0% moisture content. The dual-protein formulation from beef and salmon provides a broader amino acid profile compared to single-protein recipes. This recipe meets the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult dog maintenance and is positioned as a complete and balanced daily meal - not a supplement or topper.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The Surfin' + Turfin' format consists of tender, bite-sized pieces served in a savory gravy. The soft texture is well-suited for small breed dogs with smaller mouths and jaw structures. The combination of beef and salmon creates a layered aroma that appeals to dogs that are selective about flavor variety. Serving at room temperature improves palatability compared to refrigerated portions.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Feed 3 to 4 trays (3.5 oz. each) per 10 lbs. of body weight daily, divided into two or more meals. Adjust portions based on your dog's age, activity level, and individual metabolism. This recipe is intended as a complete daily meal. When transitioning from another food, introduce gradually over 7 days by mixing increasing amounts with the current food to minimize digestive disruption. Always provide fresh water alongside meals.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Store unopened trays 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.
