Is this a complete meal or a topper?

It is formulated as a complete adult diet, so it can be fed alone. Many owners also use it as a topper or mixer to stretch the bag.

How do I switch my dog from kibble?

Transition gradually over seven to ten days, mixing increasing amounts of the raw food into the old food. A slow switch reduces the loose-stool reports owners mention.

Does it need refrigeration or water?

No. It is shelf-stable and can be served dry straight from the bag. Owners who want a softer texture add warm water and let it sit briefly.

Which flavor should I start with?

Chicken is the most commonly fed and the mildest starting point. Beef and lamb suit dogs that have done well on richer proteins.

Is it suitable for puppies?

It is labeled for adult dogs. Puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs need a diet formulated for growth, so check with your vet before feeding it.

Does it contain grains or legumes?

No. It is grain-free and made without corn, wheat, soy or legumes, which suits owners avoiding those ingredients.
