Caru Real Turkey with Lamb Stew Grain-Free Wet Dog Food, 12-oz, case of 12

We recommend slowly transitioning your pet to Caru stews over a period of about 7 days so that the new food is not a sudden shock to their system.

We suggest mixing 25% of the new food in with 75% of the current food for the first 2 days, then mixing 50% new food with 50% existing food for the next 2 days, then mixing 75% new food with 25% current food for the next 2 days. By day seven, you can feed your dog 100% new food. If your pet experiences any kind of digestive upset during this time, try slowing down the process.

Caru Pet Food Company is a family - owned business operated by 2 Canadians who originally founded Karu’s Canine Cuisine in 2010. Adrian and Pamela Pettyan are medical professionals who care about the happiness and well - being of every pet.

When we adopted our little Golden Retriever puppy, we named him Caru after the Welsh word that means “to love.” We spelled his name with a “K” instead of a “C” just to be different. But when we had the opportunity to reorganize and rename our company, we thought it was important to go back to the true roots of Karu’s name. The real reason we started this company was out of love for our dog and all pets.

Pet parents commonly feed dry kibble to their dog due to its relatively low cost. However, from a nutritional standpoint, there are many excellent wet dog food options that are frequently overlooked. You might also consider topping your dog’s dry food with our stews; together they make an especially tasty and healthy meal.

According to the ASPCA, many pooches show signs of gum disease by the time they’re 4 years old. Since most dogs are fed dry kibble, it stands to reason that the culprit is not wet food but a lack of proper dental care. In fact, since many kibbles contain a higher percentage of refined carbohydrates, dry dog foods could ultimately increase plaque and tartar levels — and thus cause more dental problems than they supposedly prevent. Whether you feed your dog solely Caru wet stews or a combination of dry kibble and wet Caru, here are some helpful suggestions from the ASPCA:

Brush your dog’s teeth (using a canine tooth brushing kit) 2 - 3 times per week. Provide chew toys to satisfy your dog’s natural desire to chomp, help massage his gums and scrape away soft tartar to help keep his teeth clean. Be sure to schedule regular dental checkups with your veterinarian.

Caru stews are not low protein recipes. Guaranteed Analysis statements on pet foods are reported on a wet matter basis. When recalculated on a dry matter basis, the protein percentages in our stews are as follows.

Caru formulas are complete and balanced, as is indicated on our package. No additional supplementation is necessary or recommended as it can compromise the health of your pet.

Aroma is the foremost factor that attracts dogs to food. As pets get older, their sense of smell declines, which may explain the loss of appetite. Also, continuous panting in very hot weather reduces a dog’s sense of smell, so try to feed your dog in cooler surroundings. Here are some more appetite - amplifying tricks you can try:

Always try to serve the meal at the same time of day.

Gently warm the food in the microwave or add a little warm water. A little light exercise before meals could help. But please be sure to contact your veterinarian if your pet steers clear of his bowl for a considerable time.

We address this in a number of ways.

Caru products are manufactured with the utmost care at plants that are certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Food & Drug Administration, which means they must meet stringent standards for quality, cleanliness and food safety. In addition, we set exceptionally high standards for ourselves and all of our suppliers and partners.

Our exclusive recipes are made naturally with carefully selected ingredients. They are prepared in small “artisan” batches.

All our products are made with a limited number of natural, wholesome ingredients. Our stews are simply fortified with vitamins and minerals. That’s why they look, smell and taste like homemade food!

These are the most carefully prepared recipes you can serve your pet. As pet owners ourselves, we are committed to the health and safety of your pets and will continue to work actively to ensure the quality and safety of all our products.

Caru stews are carefully prepared in small batches. Because of this, they don’t turn out identically from 1 batch to the next. It’s just like when you make a homemade stew from scratch - no 2 batches are exactly alike!

Caru stews are neither baked nor extruded. Our goal is to produce the healthiest, most carefully prepared recipes you can feed your pet. With that in mind, we use carefully selected, high quality ingredients with real meats and poultry plus vegetables and fruit. The use of better raw ingredients means that Caru stews can be minimally processed, so fewer nutrients are cooked out. We also utilize proprietary cooking and packaging processes that are unique to North America. The end result is a nutrient-rich, readily digestible stew for pets with flavor and aroma that’s unsurpassed.

At Caru, we’re focused on feeding pets the things they need, and cutting out the things that are bad for them or that people are trying to get rid of in their own diets, which is why:

In all our stews, the first ingredient is meat or poultry. In our beef stew, for example, beef is listed first, which means that there is more beef than any other ingredient.

Our stews are made with a limited number of natural, wholesome ingredients, plus vitamins and minerals. They don’t contain any animal by - products, meals or fillers. Our pork stew for dogs, for example, contains pork, pork broth, green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, peas and tapioca starch with added vitamins and minerals.
