- Is this a complete meal or a topper?
- It is formulated as a complete meal when rehydrated with the recommended amount of warm water. Many owners also use it as a topper or treat straight from the bag.
- Does it need refrigeration?
- No. Freeze-drying makes the pieces shelf-stable, so the bag can be stored in a cupboard. Keep it sealed and dry after opening.
- How do I switch my dog to it?
- Mix a small amount with the current food and increase it over about a week. A slow transition reduces the chance of loose stools.
- Is it suitable for puppies?
- This line is made for adult dogs. Puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs should use a formula labeled for growth.
- Which protein should I choose?
- Chicken is the mildest and most common choice. Beef and salmon suit dogs that have done well on those proteins before.
- How much do I feed?
- Follow the weight-based chart on the bag and adjust for activity. Rehydrate with roughly the stated water amount so the meal is fully moistened.
