Canine Caviar Open Range Water Buffalo & Chickpea Alkaline Holistic Dry Dog Food
Product Description
Open Range centers on water buffalo, a lean, high-protein red meat that carries the long-chain omega-3 benefits more commonly associated with fish, alongside a strong vitamin D profile. Chickpea rounds out the recipe as the sole complex carbohydrate, keeping this grain-free formula true to Canine Caviar's single-protein, single-carb approach. It's a distinctive rotation option, especially useful for dogs who need a red meat alternative without the more common beef or lamb base.
Key Features
- Water buffalo meal is the single source of animal protein, high in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and a good source of vitamin D.
- Chickpea serves as the sole complex carbohydrate, in a fully grain-free recipe.
- Formulated for All Life Stages except growth of large-size dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult); a great option for small and medium breed puppies.
- Gluten-free and grain-free, made without tapioca, potato, corn, wheat, soy, or dairy.
- No chemical preservatives, by-products, GMOs, BHA, BHT, or ethoxyquin.
Ideal For
Dogs with sensitivities to more common red meat or poultry proteins, and small to medium breed puppies, who benefit from a lean, grain-free single-protein diet.

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
Buffalo is one of the more distinctive proteins in Canine Caviar's lineup, and reviewers regularly highlight it for dogs with persistent skin issues or chronic digestive upset that other formulas hadn't resolved. The smaller kibble size is also frequently praised as easy for smaller breeds to manage. 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.
