Feeding Guidelines

Measure your scoop - how many ounces?

• Lactating dogs - May need as much as 3 times more food than usual to meet energy demands along with greatly increased consumption of water.

Recipe FAQs

What are the benefits of high protein?

Proteins are necessary for all aspects of growth and development. Puppies, active dogs, gestating and lactating dogs, and working dogs often require more protein.

What is Chicken Meal?

Chicken meal is considered a meat concentrate and contains nearly 300% MORE protein than fresh chicken, which is why we use it in this recipe. 

Why use chicken fat?

It’s a pure fat to use as a quality ingredient because it is high in linoleic acid and is an omega-6 fatty acid that is essential to a pet’s life!
