Frequently Asked Questions
Has Health Extension been affected by any pet food recalls?
No, our formulas have never had a single recall.
What is the difference between “chicken” meal and “chicken by - product” meal?
Chicken meal is a high quality concentrated protein source that contains muscle meat. By law it may not contain heads, feet or intestines. Chicken by - product meal contains a variety of chicken “parts” including heads, feet and intestines.
Why do you use garlic in certain formulas?
We add a trace of garlic to our canned dog food to increase palatability. While it is a member of the onion family, garlic does not contain a meaningful amount of disulfide and will not cause a dog to become ill.
Where are Health Extension products sold in my area?
Our holistic pet products are now available at nearly 2000 independent retailers throughout the United States and parts of Canada! Simply use our Store Locator to find the most convenient location.
What is the percentage of meat in the Meaty Mix Chicken & Beef canned formulas?
Made exclusively with meat, each can contains more than 95% of Chicken and Beef, respectively.
Where are Health Extension foods made?
All Health Extension products are proudly made in the U.S.A.
I have been feeding Health Extension to my dog for years, but the last bag that I opened looked darker (or lighter) then before. Should I be concerned about feeding this to my dog?
Health Extension dog foods, cat foods and pet products are all - natural. Our foods have no added artificial colors or flavors. Colors and dyes are used to mask the natural colors which give a consistent color. We expect to see slight variation from batch to batch. This is simply a reflection of the natural ingredients we use and in no way affects the quality of the food.
What is the shelf life of Health Extension?
Health Extension dry foods have an expiration of 1 year from date of manufacture.
How should I transition my pet from a different brand over to Health Extension?
The following 5 day process provided by PetMD usually leads to positive results:* Day 1 - Mix 20% of Health Extension with 80% of the old.* Day 2 - Mix 40% of Health Extension with 60% of the old.* Day 3 - Mix 60% of Health Extension with 40% of the old.* Day 4 - Mix 80% of Health Extension with 20% of the old.* Day 5 - Feed 100% of Health Extension!
Does Health Extension offer free samples so that my pet can try it before I buy a larger bag?
While we do not have samples to send out from our corporate office, these can be obtained from a local retailer.

Chip (12.5 lb Chi/Cocker mix) loved this. I think he thought it was a snack the way he gobbled it up. The bites were smaller than I expected, but not a big deal. I previously used Evangers Meat Lovers(no grain) as a dry food for my dog, when not eating Just Food For Dogs as his main feeding. Healthy Extension has a lot less "meal" in it than Evangers, the amount of fruits and vegetables included is very high and the mix of the pungent buffalo and whitefish really got Chips attention. My cat, Keely (Maincoon mix) loves all things "snacky" so she picked up all of the remnants flying out of Chips bowl.

I absolutely love how healthy this food is. I love, love, love the tiny kibble. I have never seen food with such little kibble but it is absolutely perfect for my teacup sized dog. It's much easier for her to chew as well. She has teeth issues. The Ingredients are amazing. My dog wasn't exactly excited to eat it. She refused for awhile but I kept it down and she eventually relented and ate it. But she is eating it fine now. I will keep buying this because it is probably one of the best foods I've bought so far ingredient wise.

The best dry dog food ever! Have had my 14 year old mini poodle on Health Extension brand since I adopted him 11years ago. Never any gastrointestinal problems and I attribute it to this dog food. Tried new flavor Buffalo and Whitefish and he just gobbled it up. He loves it!

My puppy loves this food, it’s small pieces and it’s easy for him to chew. I had mistakenly ordered the wrong kind, chewy.com, corrected the order with no questions asked, and let me keep the bags I ordered. I donated them to a shelter. Happy with my purchase and the great customer service from chewy.com. Thank you!

I love this food. It's made in the USA, good nutritional info and I love the small bites for my shih-tzu. She's got tiny dinosaur teeth, so it works out for her.

This was our second bag of Health Extension Little Bites. Our 8 pound shih tzu seems to really like it. She was on another dog food and had developed runny/bloody stools. This food cleared it up almost immediately. Thank you!

Our little dog is so spoiled, the only pet food she will eat is canned cat food. I ordered this grain free dry dog food, getting ready to find someone to give it to and she actually ate it! This will be her food from now on.

We purchased the Little Bites because Chewy was OOS of the big bag of this larger kibble size that we normally feed our boy. The tiny kibbles worked great! I was worried it would be too small for him but I think he actually has an easier time eating the little bites. Same great formula, so a seamless transition, no tummy issues. I'll probably buy both sizes next time and mix them in his bowl for some interesting crunchies for him.

I rate this food as excellent! Just read the ingredients! I have an 11 yr old Yorkie(rescue) who came to me all itchy. Nothing helped but after much research and sleepless nights, I had to medicate him for it, which has been very positive! But thinking of allergies, I removed chicken and beef and by products from his diet just in case. I ordered this food and he gobbled it right up. I do make food as well but he doesn't hesitate to eat this! He will continue on this. Its so healthy!! I have 2 other small dogs and from day 1 they have had Health Extension chicken and brown rice. I am considering switching them to the Buffalo & whitefish as well.
