83% Pork Muscle Meat and Organs with Apples, Carrots, and Pumpkin
Product Description
Zignature Freeze-Dried Pork Entrée is a complete and balanced dog food made with 83% real pork and organs, including pork kidney and pork liver, paired with apples, carrots, pumpkin, and fenugreek for natural digestive and metabolic support. Gently freeze-dried to preserve nutrients and flavor, the recipe is grain-free, legume-free, and potato-free with no chicken, corn, wheat, soy, or dairy. Serve dry, rehydrated with water, or as a nutritious topper. Formulated for all life stages, excluding growth of large-breed dogs (70 lbs or more as adults).
Benefits
- 83% Pork Muscle Meat and Organs: Pork, pork kidney, and pork liver make up 83% of this recipe, delivering a high-protein base with natural thiamine, B-vitamins, zinc, and amino acids for muscle support and energy metabolism.
- Pork Kidney and Liver for Organ Nutrition: Both kidneys and liver are included, each adding different vitamins and minerals, pork kidney brings B12, selenium, and CoQ10, while pork liver is one of the most vitamin A and iron-dense organ meats available.
- Apples and Carrots for Natural Antioxidants: This is the only Zignature freeze-dried entrée covered here that includes both apples and carrots, adding natural beta-carotene, vitamin C, and antioxidants that kale-based or vegetable-only entries don't provide.
- Novel Protein for Sensitive Dogs: Pork is far less commonly used in commercial dog food than chicken or beef, making it a practical choice for dogs that have built up reactions to mainstream proteins through repeated exposure.
- Pumpkin and Fenugreek for Digestion: Both are included for gut support — pumpkin adds natural fiber for stool quality and digestive balance, fenugreek contributes soluble fiber that supports nutrient absorption and gut comfort.

Disclaimer: Product information and usage guidelines are provided by the manufacturer. Always use products as directed on the label and consult your veterinarian before use if you have any concerns regarding your pet’s health.
Directions for Use
- Serve dry as a complete meal or treat: Measure the correct amount for your dog's weight and serve straight from the bag, or break pieces apart as a high-value treat or training reward.
- Rehydrate for a wet food texture: Add ½ cup of cool or warm water per 1 cup of freeze-dried food, then let sit for about 5 minutes until softened before serving.
- Use as a meal topper: Sprinkle ¼ cup per 25 lbs over your dog's regular food for added protein variety, palatability, and nutritional range without replacing the full meal.
- Don't switch cold turkey: Mix in a little of this alongside your dog's current food, then shift the ratio over 6 to 10 days until fully transitioned.
- Discard rehydrated food after 2 hours: Once water has been added, anything not eaten within 2 hours goes in the bin. Don't refrigerate and save it for later.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Not for large breed puppies: This recipe excludes development of large-sized dogs (70 lbs or more as adults) from its AAFCO nutritional profile. For large breed puppies, use a formula specifically formulated for large breed growth.
- Keep fresh water out: Fresh water should always be available. Freeze-dried food has very low moisture, so dogs drink more than usual around meals.
- Consult your vet for specific health conditions: If your dog has a diagnosed condition, known allergies, or is on a specific diet, run the switch by your vet before making the change.
Storage Information
- Store in a cool place: Keep the bag in a cool area away from direct sun exposure and heat to preserve the freeze-dried texture and nutritional integrity.
- Reseal the bag tightly after each use: Close the bag securely after every feeding to keep air and moisture out, which can degrade the food over time.
- No refrigeration required for dry portions: The freeze-dried food stores at room temperature; only rehydrated portions need to be handled promptly.
- Discard rehydrated leftovers promptly: Any rehydrated food left beyond 2 hours must go. Only rehydrate what your dog will finish in one sitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What three pork components are in this recipe?
Ans: Pork muscle meat, pork kidney, and pork liver. All three sit at the top of the ingredient list as the 83% animal content. Each organ brings something different: kidney is rich in B12, selenium, and CoQ10, while liver is one of the most concentrated sources of vitamin A and iron available in a whole food ingredient.
Q2: Why does this recipe have more Omega-3 than Omega-6?
Ans: Most commercial dog food has a higher Omega-6 than Omega-3 ratio because it leans on plant oils like sunflower or safflower oil. This recipe's Omega-3 sits at 3% minimum versus 0.25% for Omega-6, which is an unusually high Omega-3 ratio driven by marine microalgae oil and the natural fatty acid profile of pork organs.
Q3: Is this recipe suitable for dogs with chicken sensitivities?
Ans: Yes. There is no chicken, chicken meal, chicken fat, or chicken by-products of any kind in this recipe. Pork is a completely different protein source and is far less commonly fed in commercial dog food, making it a practical option for dogs that have built up a reaction to chicken from repeated exposure over time.
Q4: Why does this recipe include apples and carrots when most other entrées don't?
Ans: The Pork Entrée is the only recipe in the Zignature freeze-dried range covered here that includes both apples and carrots alongside the standard pumpkin and fenugreek. Apples add natural vitamin C and antioxidants. Carrots bring beta-carotene, fiber, and additional antioxidant support.
Q5: How do I rehydrate this food?
Ans: Add ½ cup of cool or warm water per 1 cup of freeze-dried food, then let it sit for about 5 minutes until absorbed and softened. Once rehydrated, anything not eaten within 2 hours needs to go, don't refrigerate and save it for the next meal.
