do fish mates have peas as a vegetable

Answer by ChewyAug 07, 2018
This formula does not contain peas.

what size is the kibble?

Answer by ChewyFeb 10, 2019
This kibble is about the size of a dime.

This food has chicken fat in it, and I was told that chicken FAT was not part of a poultry allergy (beef and poultry). One review mentioned it worked great for her toy poodle, who can't have chicken. Need information on this before I order.

Answer by ChewyMar 06, 2019
Chicken fat doesn't contain the protein that triggers allergies so this would be safe to feed to a pet with a chicken allergy.

What's the carbohydrate percentage?

Answer by ChewyJun 16, 2018

My 20# dog loves these small kibble which easy to toss and easy to catch. Plus, Roxy usually inhales kibble, rather than bite it. Oddly, these very small bites she actual does - bite them at least once. Her fav game is when I roll up 10 or so kibble in a tea towel, times four towels, then tie them Together in a big pretzel. Takes her 5-10 min to unknot and root out the treats!

My dogs wouldn't eat this brand of food. We tried various sizes and 3 of the flavors, tried it dry, tried adding moisture, a little real meat, a little cheese... nothing would entice them. Also, upon further research, I learned this food has the incorrect amount of calcium and phosphorous, which can lead to kidney issues. We only tried because we have to have a completely gluten free household due to celiacs. If this is an issue for you too, look into Farmina.

My dog consumed a small amount of this as a meal topper. Within 24hrs she was admitted with severe pancreatitis and within 3 days her gallbladder ruptured. She had to be put down. We used to use this food and the last couple times we ordered, she got stomach bloating and scooted and barked after consuming it. It's been a long time since then & bladder stone safe food options are limited, so we decided to try it again. I regret making that decision so much.

Not a good choice for my Chihuahuas...

I slowly introduced this product to my dogs (10-20% mix with their usual diet), and it clearly made them sick (from both ends) multiple times.
