Common Questions

What is the texture of the rehydrated food like?

It can vary; sometimes it rehydrates easily, other times it needs more time and water to break up.

What should I do if my dog doesn’t like the food?

You can try adding water to make it into a paste, or use the powder to make dog biscuits.

How much powder is normal in the bag?

Some powder is normal, but excessive amounts (20% or more) are not typical and can be a concern.

Bottom Line
