Because food sensitivities develop from repeated exposure to the same proteins over time, a less commonly fed protein like duck is less likely to trigger an existing reaction in dogs that have developed sensitivities to chicken, beef, or lamb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: Is this food grain-free and legume-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.

The dry kibble version uses duck and duck meal alongside chickpeas, peas, and chickpea flour as primary ingredients. The freeze-dried version has higher protein (37% vs approximately 30% for kibble) and a simpler, more produce-rich formula without legumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ6: How should I transition my dog onto this food?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transition over 6 to 10 days. Begin by mixing a small amount of the new food with the existing food, then slowly increase the new food while decreasing the old food over the transition period. A slow transition gives your dog's digestive system time to adjust and reduces the chance of loose stools or stomach upset during the switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ7: Is this food suitable for puppies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, for most puppies.
