We suggest talking with your veterinarian to determine the best feeding schedule for your pet, if you are unsure.

Some dogs can be allergic to corn, wheat, and other common grains, which can cause digestive and/or skin issues. Grain free foods often contain fewer ingredients that are known allergens. Grain free foods can also mimic a natural diet more closely – the kind your pet would eat in the wild. We recommend trying out our Leaps & Bounds Grain Free range which is available in several options. If the symptoms persist, please go to your veterinarian.
