FAQs
Is this food suitable for puppies?
No, this 80/20 Original Cuisine formula is specifically designed for adult sporting and working dogs due to its high protein and energy content. Puppies have different nutritional needs and require a food formulated for growth.
What is the benefit of the 80/20 protein/fat ratio?
The 80/20 refers to the composition of the food, meaning it is made with 80% meat and fish, and 20% fruit, vegetables, and botanicals. This high meat content is ideal for supporting lean muscle and energy levels in active dogs.
Can I feed this to my senior dog?
This food is high in protein and energy, which may be too much for senior dogs with lower activity levels. It's best to consult with your veterinarian to determine if this formula is appropriate for your senior dog's specific health and activity needs.
How much should I feed my dog?
Feeding guidelines vary based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. Please refer to the feeding guide on the product packaging or consult your veterinarian for personalized recommendations.
Does this food contain any artificial additives?
The product description does not mention artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. It lists natural ingredients and essential vitamins and minerals.
What is the role of Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM in this food?
These ingredients are included to support joint health and mobility, which is particularly beneficial for active and working dogs that place significant stress on their joints.
How long can I store an opened bag of food?
To maintain freshness, it's recommended to use an opened bag within 4-6 weeks. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly or transferred to an airtight container and stored in a cool, dry place.
