FAQs

Is Carnilove Reindeer suitable for puppies?

This formula is designed for adult dogs. Puppies have different nutritional needs and should be fed a food specifically formulated for their growth stage.

What makes reindeer meat beneficial for dogs?

Reindeer meat is a highly digestible protein source, rich in natural antioxidants and essential amino acids. It contains beneficial unsaturated fats and is low in fat, with Omega-3 levels comparable to fish.

How much food should I give my dog?

Feeding guidelines are provided on the product packaging and should be used as a starting point. Adjust the amount based on your dog's individual needs, activity level, age, and metabolism. Consulting your veterinarian is recommended.

Can dogs with allergies eat this food?

Carnilove Reindeer is grain-free and potato-free, making it suitable for dogs with common sensitivities to these ingredients. However, it's important to check the full ingredient list for any other potential allergens specific to your dog.

Does this food contain any artificial preservatives or colors?

No, Carnilove uses natural preservatives like tocopherols (Vitamin E) and does not add artificial colors or flavors.

How should I store the food after opening?

Store the food in a cool, dry place, and ensure the bag is tightly sealed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent moisture and air from degrading the quality.

What is the source of glucosamine and chondroitin?

Glucosamine is derived from hydrolyzed crustacean shells, and chondroitin is extracted from cartilage, providing natural support for joint health.

Troubleshooting

Slow down the transition process, extending it over 10-14 days. Ensure you are feeding the correct portion size and that the dog has constant access to fresh water.
