Is It Right for Your Dog?
A good fit if:
- You want a high-protein (32%), grain-free food with no meat meals or fillers like corn, wheat or soy.
- You have an active adult dog or a growing puppy (the brand lists it for puppies and adults).
- You like a crunchy food you can also use as a topper or training treat.
Maybe not the best choice if:
- Your dog is sensitive to dairy. It contains dried whey protein concentrate.
- Your dog needs a lower-fat diet. It has 17% fat.
- Your vet has recommended a grain-inclusive diet.

Feeding and Switching Foods
How much to feed: Use the feeding guide on the bag as a starting point and adjust to keep your dog at a healthy weight. The Honest Kitchen says 1 lb of Clusters is about 4 dry cups, so a 4 lb bag holds about 16 cups and an 18 lb bag about 72 cups.
Ways to serve: Scoop and serve as a full meal, sprinkle over wet food as a crunchy topper, or use as training treats (count them toward the daily total).
Switching foods: Mix the new food into your dog's current food over 7 to 10 days, adding a little more each day. A slower switch helps avoid an upset stomach.
Storage: Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place, and keep fresh water available at all times.
