STILL HAS CHICKEN FAT! Not the best for someone trying to steer clear of chicken, is it 100% guaranteed to not cause an allergic reaction? Seems like false advertising. 🙁
FirstMate –
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Our products are not medical specific and do not provide an allergy guarantee. However, we do make a variety of diets that have helped pet parents who have a dog or cat with food sensitivities.
We use chicken fat in all of our dry formulas as it is far more digestible than most other fat sources commonly used in pet products such as canola oil or sunflower oil, which are derived from a vegetable base.
Our chicken fat is produced using a centrifuge to separate the chicken fat from the chicken protein. When an animal has a food allergy, the allergen(s) that they are reacting to is almost exclusively the protein in that ingredient. Our Chicken Fat is protein-free and, therefore, should not cause a food-related allergy.
That being said, if your pet’s chicken allergies are severe, we would recommend caution in feeding any of our diets, which all contain chicken fat.
It would be our pleasure to arrange a free sample if that would be of interest.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Great brand! I already ordered a bag of the Duck food. My girl has always thrived on these diets, (I feed the ocean fish and endurance grain free) and with the simplistic ingredients, she is not having any digestive issues. Thank you for adding a duck protein line! This is one of the proteins she does very well on.

Just ordered this for the first time and my dogs absolutely love it. I’ve never had a grain-free dog food that my dogs would just eat all in one sitting (my dogs like to munch throughout the day), but they clearly like the taste of this food. A bit more expensive, but the grain/pea/gluten-free recipe is worth it from our standpoint.
Feel free to check out all the reputable spots that provide legit reviews of dog food and you’ll see this stuff is REALLY good.
