FAQs

Is this food suitable for puppies or senior dogs?

Carnilove True Fresh Fish and Turkey is formulated for adult dogs. Puppy and senior formulas have different nutritional profiles to meet the specific needs of those life stages. Always choose a food appropriate for your dog's age and activity level.

How much should I feed my dog?

Feeding guidelines vary based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. Refer to the specific feeding chart on the product packaging for recommended daily amounts. It's always best to adjust portions based on your dog's individual needs and body condition.

Can I mix this dry food with wet food?

Yes, you can mix Carnilove True Fresh with wet food, but be mindful of the total caloric intake to avoid overfeeding. It's recommended to adjust the portions of both dry and wet food accordingly. A gradual transition is still advised if introducing a new wet food.

What is the 'true spirit' mentioned in the product description?

The 'true spirit' refers to a dog's natural vitality, energy, and overall well-being, which the brand aims to support through a diet that closely mirrors their ancestral food sources – high in meat and natural ingredients.

How long does the food stay fresh after opening?

To maintain optimal freshness, store the opened bag in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed. Properly stored, the food should remain fresh for approximately 4-6 weeks. For best results, use within this timeframe.

What are Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids and why are they important?

Omega-3 and Omega-6 are essential fatty acids that dogs cannot produce themselves and must obtain from their diet. They are crucial for maintaining healthy skin and a shiny coat, supporting immune function, and contributing to overall cellular health.

Does this food contain any artificial preservatives or colors?

Carnilove True Fresh is formulated with natural ingredients and does not contain artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. The antioxidants in the ingredients help preserve freshness naturally.

Troubleshooting

Dog experiencing digestive upset (e.g., loose stools) after switching food.

Slow down the transition process. Revert to a higher ratio of the old food and gradually increase the new food over a longer period (10-14 days). Ensure adequate water intake.

Dog refusing to eat the new food.

Ensure the transition was gradual. Try mixing a small amount of wet food or a preferred topper (like plain, unsalted broth or a small amount of cooked lean meat) into the kibble to increase palatability.

Dog's coat condition not improving.

Ensure consistent feeding for at least 4-6 weeks, as improvements can take time. Check if other factors (e.g., environmental, health issues) might be affecting the coat. Consult a veterinarian if concerns persist.

Concerns about trace grain contamination.

If your dog has severe grain allergies, monitor them closely. While formulated without grains, trace amounts can occur. For highly sensitive dogs, consider foods with stricter 'grain-free' processing controls, if available and recommended by a vet.

Getting Started: Transitioning Your Dog

It is crucial to introduce Carnilove True Fresh gradually to prevent digestive upset. Follow this transition plan over 7-10 days:

  2. Days 3-4: Mix 50% new food with 50% old food.
  3. Days 5-6: Mix 75% new food with 25% old food.
  4. Day 7 onwards: Feed 100% new food.

Compatibility

  • Life Stage: Adult dogs.
  • Breed Size: Suitable for all adult dog breeds.
  • Dietary Needs: Ideal for dogs requiring grain-free options, those with skin and coat sensitivities, and dogs benefiting from high meat content.

Storage and Care

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the bag is properly sealed after each use to maintain freshness.
  • Always provide fresh, clean water for your dog.
  • Refer to the feeding guidelines on the packaging for appropriate portion sizes based on your dog's weight and activity level.
