- Is this food good for puppies?
- It is labeled for all life stages, so it can be fed to puppies, but large-breed puppies have specific calcium and phosphorus needs. Check with your vet before feeding a grocery-store all-stages formula to a large-breed puppy.
- Does it contain grains?
- Yes. Whole grains are a core part of the recipe, so it is not grain-free. Dogs with grain allergies or on limited-ingredient diets should look elsewhere.
- What is the main protein?
- Real salmon is the first ingredient, and salmon and fish give it its flavor. It is a fish-based formula, not chicken or beef.
- Will it help my dog's itchy skin?
- The omega-3 fatty acids may support skin and coat, but itching often has other causes such as allergies or parasites. Persistent scratching needs a vet visit, not just a food switch.
- How should I switch my dog to it?
- Transition over about a week, mixing increasing amounts of the new food with the old. Sudden switches are a common cause of loose stools.
- Does it suit small breeds?
- The kibble is sized for most breeds, but very small dogs or toy breeds may find the pieces large. Check the kibble size if your dog is tiny.
