How to Use

Recommended Dosage Instructions/Directions for Use

•  Rehydration Instructions: Add warm water, blend, stir, and serve — rehydrates in approximately 60 seconds. Alternatively, serve dry like kibble. Always provide access to clean, fresh water.
• Serve Dry or Rehydrated: Serve as-is or rehydrate by adding warm water — about 2 tablespoons of water per 1 cup of food.
•  Transition Gradually: Introduce raw over 5 to 7 days, mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food while decreasing the old food.
• Adjust for Life Stage: Feeding amounts vary by age, weight, and activity level; adjust portions accordingly for puppies, seniors, or active dogs.
• Refrigerate After Rehydrating: Once water has been added, any uneaten portion should be refrigerated and used within 24 hours.
• Store Properly: Keep the bag sealed and stored in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and shelf stability.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Supervise Transition: Always introduce a new food gradually over 5–7 days to avoid digestive upset.
•  Not for Large-Breed Puppies: This formula is not specifically formulated for the growth of large-breed dogs (70 lbs or more as an adult); consult your vet.
• Store Safely: Keep the product in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight; reseal the bag tightly after each use.
• Consult Your Vet: If your dog has a known health condition, food allergy, or is on a prescription diet, consult a veterinarian before switching foods.
• Handle with Hygiene: As with all raw pet foods, wash hands, bowls, and surfaces thoroughly after handling to prevent cross-contamination.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Adjustment: Some dogs may experience loose stools or mild stomach upset during the first few days of transitioning to a raw diet.
• Increased Thirst: Dogs transitioning from dry kibble to a rehydrated raw meal may initially drink more or less water as they adjust.
• Soft Stool Changes: Stools may become smaller and firmer on a raw diet, which is a normal adjustment response.
• Temporary Appetite Fluctuation: Picky eaters or dogs new to freeze-dried raw food may take a few meals to fully accept the new texture and flavor.
• Food Sensitivity Reaction: Dogs with known chicken sensitivities may experience itching, skin irritation, or digestive discomfort; discontinue use and consult a vet if symptoms appear.

Q3: Is this recipe grain-free and free from artificial additives?

Ans: Yes, the recipe is completely grain-free and contains no corn, wheat, soy, legumes, artificial colors, or artificial preservatives, making it a clean, whole-food option for dogs with sensitivities.

Q4: How do you prepare this freeze-dried meal?

Ans: Simply add warm water to the freeze-dried food, blend, stir, and serve. The meal fully rehydrates in approximately 60 seconds. It can also be served dry, similar to kibble, for added convenience.

Ans: Pet parents who feed raw typically report improvements in digestion, coat shine, energy levels, and weight management within a few weeks, though results vary by individual dog and diet history.

Q8: Is this product safe for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
