Canine Caviar Free Spirit Chicken & Pearl Millet Alkaline Holistic Dry Dog Food
Product Description
Free Spirit is Canine Caviar's flagship chicken recipe, and it's built around dehydrated chicken and pearl millet as the sole protein and carbohydrate sources. It's a genuine favorite in the brand's lineup, formulated to support an active, healthy lifestyle for dogs of every size, from small and medium breed puppies through moderately active adults and nursing mothers. Like every Canine Caviar recipe, it's built on the alkaline-diet principle the brand was founded on, using proprietary herbs and cooking methods aimed at supporting balanced pH and reduced inflammation.

Feeding Instructions
To get the best results, feed your dog properly: divide the daily portion into two meals, feeding half in the morning and half in the evening. Feeding amounts will vary according to age, breed, activity level, and environment; adjust accordingly to maintain optimal body condition. Overfeeding may cause loose stools. Always have plenty of fresh water available.
Do not mix with your current food. Canine Caviar recommends a straight changeover, feeding half the recommended amount on the first day. This differs from a gradual transition approach, so follow the packaging instructions closely when switching your dog onto this recipe.
Why We Love It
Free Spirit consistently ranks among Canine Caviar's most popular recipes, and it's easy to see why: chicken is a protein most dogs already enjoy, and the single-carbohydrate formula keeps the ingredient list refreshingly short. It's a strong starting point for owners just beginning to explore limited ingredient diets, or as part of a protein rotation with the brand's other recipes. Made in the USA.
Caution
Keep food in the bag, even if using a container, and store in a cool, dry place for optimum freshness. Please see packaging for the complete AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement.
