Nutritional Analysis

Pet food ingredients, nutritional values, and the way they are labeled for consumers are monitored by several organizations in the United States including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the NGO, Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).

Each year the AAFCO publishes two sets of nutritional minimum standards for dog food intended to help specify if a food is suitable for:

1. Dogs in the growth & reproduction phases of life
2. Adult dogs maintaining a healthy weight and activity level

Caloric Content

785 kcal/kg, 278 kcal/pack

Transition Instructions

Over 7-14 days gradually replace your dog’s food with this formula. If using as just a topping there is typically no need for a transition period.

Feeding Amounts

Use as a tasty topper with dry food or feed alone. When fed alone, use one pack daily for every 12 lbs body weight. If feeding with typical dry dog food reduce dry by 2/3 cup for every 1 pack of wet. Adjust the amount of food fed to meet your dog’s individual needs. Always provide access to fresh water.

Feeding Instructions

Adjust the amount of food fed to meet your dog’s individual needs. Always provide access to fresh water near where your dog is eating. Dogs that have high activity levels may need to have food provided in two seperate meals.

The Bottom Line

While I like the Caru brand and the ingredients are top notch, this food would have to be used as just a topping at my house because I have such large dogs! I would have to feed 9 containers to one dog per day which would cost more than $20! Like so many wet foods, this is for a treat or those with small dogs.

I commend Caru for creating a premium food and not adding any artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. The packaging is also great because you don’t have to use a can opener or put a lid off and deal with sharp edges.
