Some dogs are sensitive to grains. If your dog exhibits symptoms such as chewing their paws or excessive scratching, they may have an allergy
to grain. The only way to find out is to feed a hypoallergenic, grain-free diet for at least a month, avoiding all treats and other foods.
This recipe does not contain meat or poultry, including chicken fat, or fruits and berries; this makes it significantly different than our other
dog foods and a perfect starting point for determining
what your dog is allergic to.

You may wonder why our recipe doesn't include all the probiotics found in other pet foods.
Our research and experience has taught us that probiotics are best kept separate from food
— another reason why Pinto Canyon is unique and better!
Read why it's best to have probiotics separate from food.
All of our Pinto Canyon recipes are slowly baked in our ovens at lower temperatures in small
batches, just like you'd bake at home. This gentle process protects the vitamins and minerals
and maintains the integrity of the ingredients while enhancing the aroma and taste. Ask your dog!

Feeding Notes |
Puppies: Puppies are growing! They need to eat 2-3 times
as much as adult dogs until they're full grown, which is typically 1 year, but can be
longer for large breed dogs.
As a general rule, feed your puppy 3 times a day,
and allow them to eat for 10 minutes at each feeding. Small breed puppies prefer to eat frequently;
very small breeds prefer to have food always available.
|
Reproduction: Provide increasing amounts of food the latter half of pregnancy.
The amount may be twice the normal food intake. Feed to consumption during nursing.
|
Feed less! Baked food is denser than other pet foods; you'll typically feed 25% less.
If your dog has loose stool, you may be overfeeding. Please refer to the feeding guidelines,
and try feeding slightly less.
|
The Feeding Guideline above is a starting point. Please adjust the feeding amount as necessary to maintain the optimum body weight for your dog. We recommend that you weigh your dog weekly. |
New to this food? Please transition your pet.
Some dogs may do better by making a gradual transition over 7 to 10 days. Start with 25% of the new food mixed with 75% of the previous diet,
and gradually increase the new while decreasing the previous until the transition is complete.
Sudden diet change may cause loose stool or stomach discomfort.
Typically, a gradual transition is not necessary when changing to another Pinto Canyon food
because all of our foods are similar in quality and the cooking process.
|
|
Clean water bowls daily. Have clean bowls of cool, fresh water available at all times. |
Store your food in a cool and dry location. |
