The recommended quantities for our meals might differ from what you are used to due to variations in calorie content among different types of dog food. Here’s why:

  • Calorie Variation: Different types of dog food can have significantly different calorie densities. Our meals are made with fresh, predominantly moist ingredients, which results in a different calorie density compared to dry foods like kibble.

  • Fresh and Moist Ingredients: Our recipes use fresh and moist ingredients, making the meals heavier in weight compared to dry food. On average, our meals contain about 133 Kcal per 100 grams. This means you’ll be serving a larger portion by weight, but with the same caloric content as a smaller portion of dry food.

  • Portion Size and Calories: You might notice that the portion size of our food is larger compared to kibble. However, this larger portion provides a similar caloric intake, as dry food is more calorie-dense.

We hope this explanation clarifies the difference. If you have any further questions or need additional information, feel free to contact us via the online chat. We’re here to help!
