Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult dog owners seeking a hypoallergenic, easily digestible food option. The key benefit is a limited-ingredient, single-protein formula designed for sensitive dogs.

Calibra Life Lamb Canned Adult Dog Food offers a high-quality, hypoallergenic diet featuring a single protein source (lamb) and a limited number of carefully selected ingredients. It is gluten-free, low in rice, and enriched with salmon oil for skin, coat, and cognitive health, ensuring optimal nutrition for adult dogs without common allergens like wheat, maize, soy, or GMOs.

How much should I feed my dog?
Feeding guidelines vary based on your dog's age, weight, activity level, and metabolism. Refer to the feeding guide on the packaging for recommended daily amounts and adjust as needed.
What is the shelf life of an unopened can?

Why is salmon oil included?
Salmon oil is a rich source of Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids (EPA, DHA), which are essential for brain development and function, as well as supporting the physiological functions of the skin and coat. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Is this food grain-free?

Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new food
Gradually introduce the new food by mixing small amounts with the current food over 7-10 days. Warming the food slightly or adding a small amount of warm water can enhance aroma and palatability.
Slight digestive upset (e.g., loose stool) during transition
This can sometimes occur when changing food. Slow down the transition process, extending the mix-in period with the old food. If symptoms persist, consult a veterinarian.
Food spoils quickly after opening
Ensure the can is properly sealed and refrigerated immediately after opening. Do not leave opened food at room temperature for extended periods.
The texture appears different from a previous batch
Minor variations in texture or color can occur due to natural ingredient differences. This is normal and does not affect the food's nutritional value or safety. Ensure the expiration date is valid.
