This estimate is based on the product’s adult feeding guidelines. Percentages refer to estimated daily calories, not food weight or volume. When combining foods, reduce the other food based on its calorie content to help avoid overfeeding. Every dog is different, so adjust as needed to maintain an ideal body condition. Puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs may have different feeding needs. This recipe is not formulated for the growth of large-size dogs expected to weigh 70 pounds or more as adults.

    All 4 of my dogs LOVE the elk bites! Wish there were other flavors of the freeze dried bites besides the elk, beef and chicken. Venison, bison, kangaroo, ostrich, rabbit, pork, lamb, cod, would all be great flavors!!
