Redbarn Naturals Chicken Recipe Dog Food Roll

To feed, cut into 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch cubes. All dogs metabolize differently. Adjust amount as needed to maintain proper weight and physical condition.

Feed 1 roll per day for 8 lbs of body weight. Adjust up or down depending on your dog's needs. Puppies may require twice and pregnant or nursing mothers 3 times the recommended Adult feeding.

It is important that your pet switch pet food gradually from his current pet food to avoid digestive upset.

To Transition:

Week 1: Start with 1/4 Redbarn food and 3/4 other food Week 2: Gradually increase to 1/2 Redbarn food and 1/2 other food Week 3: Feed 3/4 Redbarn food and 1/4 other food Week 4: You are now able to feed your pet 100% Redbarn food

Remember These Tips When Switching Your Dog's Food:

• Puppies become adults at 12 months of age and should transition to an adult dog food to ensure they are receiving proper nutrient levels for adult dogs.
• Pregnant or nursing dogs need energy-dense foods with increased calcium content so be sure to transition them during this special time to a puppy food. However, during pregnancy or nursing, large breed dogs should be switched to a regular puppy food, not a large breed puppy food.
• If your veterinarian has recommended a therapeutic dog food for a specific health condition, please be sure to discuss transitioning his dog food in detail. There could be some special considerations and suggestions to ensure success.

How do I store the Redbarn Rolled Food?

You do not need to refrigerate the food rolls until they are opened. The shelf life for our unopened food rolls is one year from the production date. If you do plan to store the rolled food for a prolonged time, we suggest storing in the refrigerator for optimal freshness. To serve, slice through the wrapper for your desired serving size. Leave the casing on the remaining product and seal the open end with plastic wrap, foil or in a zip-top bag and refrigerate. Opened sealed rolls will remain fresh in the refrigerator for one-to-two weeks.

Can I freeze Redbarn Food Rolls?

Yes. Redbarn Premium Rolled Food freezes very well. Simply slice into sections and wrap individually before freezing. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

The serving size on the Redbarn Rolled Food seems quite small from what I am used to feeding. Does my dog get enough food with such a small meal size?

The answer is yes. Our rolled foods contain a lower moisture content than many rolled or canned foods so you can feed less while still maintaining optimal nutrition. To meet AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) approval as a full meal, the food must contain caloric density or energy required by your dog based on his body weight and the recommended daily serving amount. By meeting AAFCO approval, REDBARN provides a sufficient amount of energy for your dog based on our daily feeding recommendation.Feeding a smaller, nutrient dense meal, it is easier on your dog's digestive tract. It also reduces the amount of waste your have to clean up in the yard.

I am surprised at the long shelf life on your Rolled Foods when you claim "No Artificial Preservatives." How is that possible?

Redbarn rolled food is preserved naturally by using ingredients that “bind” the water to reduce the water activity (Aw) to a level where harmful bacteria cannot grow. It is further preserved by natural ingredients with antioxidant properties such as Flax seed, Rosemary and Tocopherols (Vitamin E source)

How do I read the "Best By" date that is on the White Sticker on the roll?

The “Best By” date is read as MM/DD/YY and the last digit is an internal batch number.
