Reproduction: Provide increasing amounts of food the latter half of gestation. The amount may be twice normal intake. Feed to consumption during Lactation.
Growth: Introduce dry food around the 5th week and provide as much food as puppies will consume from weaning until full - grown. Always provide a source of clean fresh water.
When transitioning to a new pet food, do so slowly over a period of about 7�10 days, mixing an increasing amount of new food with old food each day: Start with 75% old food mixed with 25% new food for approximately three days. Then mix 50% old with 50% new for approximately three days.
Because we bake our dog and cat foods, we are able to use up to twice as much fresh meat as extruded pet foods. Then there’s better palatability - in 1 third - party study, Lotus Wholesome Duck Recipe fed 11/2 times better as a first choice against the leading specialty dry duck formulas for dogs. And we do it all without any added flavors or sprayed on fats (Feel the difference - Lotus is not greasy like most extruded foods).Baked foods are cooked at 1 atmospheric pressure slowly cooking and browning each piece of Lotus. Extruders cook food at 2 - 3 times atmospheric pressure using steam. Extruded kibble gets its puffy appearance from being cooked at such high pressure, then being released back into normal atmospheric pressure after cooking. This is cooking from the inside out (think microwave).Oven - baked Lotus retains 100% of its vitamins. Extruded dog and cat foods typically lose an average of 40% of their vitamins. This means that all of Lotus’ fresh fruits and vegetables still provide all of those wonderful antioxidants to keep your best friend’s cells healthy. Lotus even retained 100% of its proteins compared to extruded foods that typically lose 20% during drying the drying process.Feed less! A bag of Lotus lasts 20% longer. This is because a cup of Lotus weighs only 4 oz and many extruded foods weigh an average of 6 ozSlow oven - baking takes about 3 times as long, but we think all the benefits are worth it.
Lotus dry foods are baked in real ovens, like the 1 you have at home. So, of course, there will be some browning from the oven. The Lotus kibbles come out shaped slightly different from each other—the same way homemade cookies are never perfectly round.
All ingredients are sourced in North America (USA and Canada). There are 3 exceptions on our ingredient lists: New Zealand Green Mussel, Deboned Lamb and Lamb Meal - all these great ingredients come from New Zealand.
Our oven - baked foods are made in small batches in a family owned and operated Canadian bakery. all of our canned foods are made in small batches in our very own micro - cannery in California.
We use whole grains because of the many nutritional benefits they provide. For example, brown rice provides vitamin E to help maintain healthy cells. Brown rice also supplies insoluble fiber which becomes food for the good bacteria in your pet’s large intestine.In fact, our brown rice is actually more expensive than chicken meal because it’s the same brown rice you’d cook at home. Although chicken meal is a nutritious ingredient, it’s not used in the household kitchen.Rye is another whole grain, but this 1 has the highest concentration of lignans, antioxidant like compounds that help keep cells healthy.Barley and oatmeal are a great source of B vitamins, as well as insoluble fiber, which can help feed good bacteria in the large intestine.
We selected 3 special oils for our dog food, each with their own amazing benefits. We chose soy oil because it is a good source of omega - 6 and omega - 3 fatty acids in the form of Alpha Linolenic Acid. We chose olive oil because it’s a rich source linoleic acid (omega - 6). And we added salmon oil because it’s rich in 2 omega - 3 fatty acids - DHA and EPA. DHA has been shown to improve learning in puppies whose mothers were fed a diet containing DHA. All Lotus cat recipes contain chicken fat as well because cats have an increased need for fat, as compared to dogs.
Lotus only purchases proteins that are specified by the manufacturer to be preserved with vitamin E, citric acid, and rosemary. This means all our fish, fish meal, chicken, chicken meal, lamb, lamb meal, duck, and duck meal are all naturally preserved. We do this even though we could claim our food is natural by just adding a natural preservative to the food and not worrying about how our proteins are preserved. We feel it’s necessary to go the extra mile and commit to never buying proteins that are preserved with things like Ethoxyquin, BHT, or BHA even though they are cheaper.
No, the soy oil is 1 of the oils in Lotus that supplies both linoleic acid (an omega 6 fatty acid) and alpha linolenic acid(an omega 3 fatty acid). It is not a protein like soybean meal which is often used as an inexpensive source of protein in some foods. Allergies are primarily caused by proteins, not fatty acids or oils. In fact, Lotus does not use any concentrated plant based proteins like soybean meal, potato protein, pea protein or rice protein concentrate, for that very reason.
Because dogs can produce taurine if they have all of the required amino acids. Lotus lamb supplies these amino acids with lamb meat, Pollock and lamb meal as protein sources and not just lamb meal. Lamb meal tends to be higher in ash (bone) and collagen than lamb meat and doesn’t have as much usable protein. Also, Lotus does not use ingredients like rice bran which is often combined with lamb meal which is often the only protein source in other dog foods. When a dog is fed this type of diet, he/she may not get all of the required amino acids to produce taurine, so those dog foods add taurine. A deficiency in taurine can lead to heart issues.
All of the Lotus packaging artwork is done by Bay Area artist Nicholas Wilton. The natural, organic shapes and textures represented in Wilton’s work reflect the organic, holistic nature of Lotus foods. That’s why we chose Wilton to illustrate the images that our art director, Betsy Nathane designed. Wilton’s work can be found at nicholaswiltonpaintings.com

My dog loved this kibble and ate every last bite every time I gave it to him. Unfortunately a few weeks after he started eating it, he started licking his legs and paws nonstop. The vet suggested he had a food allergy and it turned out it was the brewer's yeast in this kibble. A lot of dogs can be sensitive to yeast and my dog definitely cannot tolerate it. A good product if your dog isnt sensitive to the yeast!
This food has low starch, and is cooked at a lower temp than extruded foods to preserve the vitamins. It has phosphorus and calcium levels specifically designed to support growing puppies, especially the needs of larger breed puppies. My babies LOVE IT!
We have tried introducing our pup to this food a few times now but he throws it up every time. Really strange since we have alternated him between multiple other brands, but this one just does not agree with him. Huge bummer because it seems so healthy and we bought the large 25lb bag since he has never had any issues with other foods before.
Excellent product meeting all requirement of our trusted Vet Insure best buy date meets your requirements P
I so wish my mini bernedoodle pup loved this kibble because I like the ingredients! However, no amount of toppers, pulverizing or softening would get her to even go near this food. Chewy was kind enough to refund me and suggested I donated the remainder to a local shelter or rescue, which I will definitely do! Thanks Chewy <3
A friend recommended this to me for our new puppy. I wanted to give him the best food I could. I'm so happy to find out he loves this food and he is doing and growing great on it.
We switched to a healthy diet for our dogs. The like dry kibble and a Veterinarian recommended it. We have a pure breed Samoyed and a Puggle and a mixed bag of love. They all love it.
Recently switched my 7 month old puppy to this food. Not only does he LOVE it but it has improved his digestive system. The ingredients are the absolute best you can give your puppy, too!!
I love Lotus Bites, and if it wasn't so expensive I would be giving it to my puppy as his main food. I currently use the Lotus Small Bites (chicken) and these as treats or a food additive (to spice up his kibble). I love how nutritious these are, and are so yummy that they work as treats! The small bites are great for training small puppies. I also love that they're oven baked so they retain nutrients. ONE thing I would say is that if your dog does not like fish, beware of these. They have quite a fishy smell to them! I know it's super good for him and love that they have fish oils, but my pup is not the biggest fish fan. He likes the kibble now though, but it took some warming up! The normal (non-puppy) Lotus Chicken does not have the fish smell if you're trying to avoid it. Thanks for the super quick delivery Chewy!
I tried this baked puppy food with my pregnant/nursing moms they love it. Will definitely reorder
