Its crunchy kibble is made with natural ingredients and no artificial additives.

FAQs

Is this food suitable for puppies?

This food is formulated for adolescent, adult, and senior dogs. While it is nutritionally balanced, it is recommended to consult with your veterinarian for specific puppy feeding guidelines.

What does 'grain-free' mean for my dog?

Grain-free means the food does not contain common grains like wheat, corn, barley, or rice. This recipe uses potato and vegetables as carbohydrate sources, which can be beneficial for dogs with grain sensitivities or allergies.

How much should I feed my dog?

Feeding guidelines vary based on your dog's age, breed, and activity level. Please refer to the feeding guide on the product packaging or consult your veterinarian for personalized recommendations.

Can I mix this food with other types of dog food?

While gradual mixing is recommended during the transition phase, it is generally best to feed one complete and balanced food to ensure optimal nutrient absorption and avoid digestive issues. If mixing is necessary, consult your veterinarian.

What is the benefit of New Zealand green-lipped mussel extract?

This extract is a natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin, which are known to support joint health and mobility, particularly beneficial for adult and senior dogs.

Where is this dog food manufactured?

The product information does not specify the manufacturing location. For details on sourcing and manufacturing, please refer to the producer's official website or contact their customer service.

Troubleshooting

Dog is reluctant to eat the new food.

Ensure you are gradually transitioning the food as recommended. You can try warming the kibble slightly with a little water or adding a small amount of low-sodium, plain chicken broth (ensure no onion or garlic) to enhance palatability.

Dog experiences mild digestive upset (loose stools) after switching.

This can sometimes occur during the transition. Slow the transition process down, extending the duration of each step. If symptoms persist for more than a few days, consult your veterinarian.

Kibble appears stale or dry.

Ensure the bag is sealed tightly after each use and stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving the food exposed to air for extended periods.
