Canine Caviar Open Meadow Lamb & Pearl Millet Alkaline Holistic Dry Dog Food
Product Description
Canine Caviar built its entire line around a simple premise: a dog in the wild wouldn't mix yesterday's catch with today's, so why should a bag of kibble contain a dozen different proteins? Open Meadow puts that philosophy into practice with New Zealand lamb as the sole animal protein and pearl millet as the single complex carbohydrate. It's part of Canine Caviar's alkaline-based Entree line, formulated with proprietary herbs and a cooking process designed to support a healthy pH balance in your dog's body, which the brand ties to reduced risk of allergies, kidney and liver issues, and general inflammation.
Key Features
- New Zealand lamb is the single source of animal protein, paired with pearl millet as the only complex carbohydrate.
- Formulated as part of Canine Caviar's alkaline diet system, designed to support a healthy pH balance (targeted range 7.1-7.4) for overall wellness.
- Gluten-free, and made without tapioca, potato, corn, wheat, soy, or dairy.
- No chemical preservatives, by-products, GMOs, BHA, BHT, or ethoxyquin.
- Includes botanicals like alfalfa, kelp, papaya, rose hips, and yucca for added nutritional support beyond the base protein and carbohydrate.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages.

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
Canine Caviar has built a loyal following among owners of dogs with chronic allergies and sensitivities, and Open Meadow is often the entry point. With only 31 ingredients (well below the 40-50 typical of the category) and a single protein source, it gives owners real clarity about what their dog is eating. Made in the USA, with the lamb itself sourced from New Zealand.
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.
