JoAnn, the phosphorous content in Southwest Canyon Canine is 1.1% as fed.Date published: 2017-04-05Can I feed this particular flavor (Southwest Canyon) to an 8 week old puppy?
Hi Amber, thanks for considering Taste of the Wild. We recommend choosing a food specifically formulated for puppies or all life stages, especially for very young puppies like yours. We have two formulas specifically designed for puppies - High Prairie Puppy and Pacific Stream Puppy.Date published: 2017-02-06Is there a temperature storage guideline? I am concerned about delivery left outside during summer. Thanks.
Hello, thanks for contacting us. The food should be kept in a cool, dry location as excess heat or moisture may cause the nutrients to break down. Leaving the sealed bag out for short periods of time, such as in a delivery, should not affect the food.Date published: 2022-07-29What formula should I use for an overweight retriever?
Hi, Marie. We do not have any formulas specifically designed for weight loss. Our lowest calorie and fat formula is Sierra Mountain Canine, which contains 15% fat and 338 kcal/cup. You will likely need to feed about 10-20% less than the amounts listed in the feeding guide for each formula.
