Questions & Answers

18 Customer Questions

Why is the protein percentage lower in the large puppy food than the other types of instinct food?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 25, 2018
Feeding large breed puppies something that is too high in protein may make them put on weight too quickly causing abnormal joint development and making them more prone to issues like arthritis in the future. Many large breed puppy formulas are designed with this in mind. This particular formula has a balanced mix of poultry, fish and meat for a healthy exposure to proteins.

How many cups does the 20 lb bag hold?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 27, 2018
The 20 pound bag contains approximately 80 cups.

I have a 10 week old golden retriever, do I give him the large breed puppy ?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 02, 2019
In order for a dog breed to be considered a large dog breed, a typical dog of dog in question has to weigh at least 50 pounds and have a height of around 24 inches, as an adult. A golden retriever would be considered a large breed so this food would be suitable.

I have an 8 month old German Shepherd and we feed her this with a little bit of meat or salmon with veggies. We sometimes feed her this on its own and she still eats it. The ingredients are clean and this kibble is considered one of the healthiest options. From my experience, I’d definitely recommend!
