Is there any artificial preservatives or flavors

Answer by ChewyFeb 16, 2019
This food does not contain any artificial preservatives, colors or flavors.

I have a 14 week old Boston terrier puppy who is having a heck of a time with his sensitive stomach, he’s 10 pounds does he weigh too much to eat this? I’m a little worried he won’t benefit from this

Answer by ChewyMar 22, 2019
Puppies under 6 months of age are recommended to do a free choice feeding. Once puppies are over 6 months, they'll require a daily feeding regimen. For a complete list of feeding recommendations, click the “Feeding Instructions” tab, next to the “Nutritional Info” tab, just under the product photos.

Why is there tapioca in this recipe? Is that a beneficial ingredient for puppies?

Answer by ChewyFeb 14, 2022
Tapioca is a starch derived from the root of the cassava plant; it is grain-free and gluten-free. There are no known allergies to tapioca. It is often used in grain-free kibble. Without some sort of natural binder, the ingredients in the kibble would not hold together for the cooking process. Tapioca is a rich source of dietary fiber and can help add protein to the diet. Furthermore, tapioca contains vitamin B’s as well as some other minerals (iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium). Ingredients are listed in the order of the percentage that they appear in the food. However, we cannot release the exact percentage of each ingredient because this would reveal our formula and it is proprietary information.

How much sodium in this formula?

Answer by ChewyJul 25, 2019

Seems like the best food I can find on the market. It seems expensive but not really when you consider the amount you feed compared to other foods. It is worth the money to me. Both of my dogs have incredible coats and glow with perfect health. Very happy

My puppy does not like this food at all. She won’t even try one piece of it. I think it’s the smell that turns her away. I honestly would not recommend purchasing this because it’s not cheap and if your puppy does not like it, you’re stuck with it.

I just swapped my two dogs to Canidae pure petite salmon from chicken due to an allergy. I accidentally ordered the larger bag in puppy food and labels look almost identical. My younger dog was deathly sick for days before realizing what happened so now I have to trash an entire bag.
