Ingredient Information

Feeding Instructions

Perfect Solutions for Your Pup

With a pantry of unique Zignature formulas available as wet food, dry food, and treats, you’re sure to find the perfect choices for your furry friend’s needs—and ones your pup will love! 

Limited Ingredient Formulas

Carefully selected ingredients in all Zignature formulas ensure a nutritious and delicious premium meal for your four-legged friend. Each limited-ingredient recipe starts with meat first, because carnivores don’t hunt potatoes.

Meat First

All Zignature foods start with high-quality meat, poultry, or fish. The limited-ingredient formulas are enhanced with beneficial amino acids, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and a complete spectrum of vitamins and minerals.

Helping Pets Live Long, Healthy Lives

Zignature foods include sources of fiber, vitamins and minerals, and probiotics to support a healthy and enriched meal experience. The amount of other ingredients is limited to minimize food sensitivities and maximize nutritional value.

About Zignature

Zignature is a family-owned pet health company based in the US, committed to pets and the people who love them. Their meat-first philosophy is based on the idea that dogs are carnivores and need a diet high in protein.

Questions & Answers

14 Customer Questions

What percentage of the 32% protein comes from animal protein in the zsentials recipe? Thanks

Answer by Chewy • Feb 28, 2018
This formula contains 70% meat protein versus 30% plant based protein.

What is the size of each kibble?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 16, 2018
This kibble is approximately the width of a dime and a little less than 1/4 inch thick.

About how many cups are in a pound?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 16, 2018
There will be approximately 4 cups per pound of kibble. The 4 pound bag will have close to 16 cups, the 13.5 pound bag close to 54 cups and the 27 pound bag close to 108 cups.

Is this blend also limited ingredient? If not then what makes the others limited ingredient and this one not?

Answer by Chewy • May 11, 2018
This product is not considered one of their limited ingredient lines. The difference between them is this product contains multiple proteins such as turkey, salmon, duck, and lamb and the others consist of a singular protein.

We love Zignature and everything they have to offer

My 10 year old frenchie has been fed Zignature for a long time and my 3 year old since a puppy. They love all the different proteins/flavor varieties. My only wish is they would sell the small bites in the big bag size. Even the medium bag goes so fast and they only eat a total of 1 cup daily. Neither one chews their food.so I like the smaller kibble.
