Product Description
For dogs who need to steer clear of the more common proteins, Open Sky offers real duck as a genuine alternative, paired with teff, an ancient, gluten-free grain, as the single complex carbohydrate. Duck brings its own nutritional strengths to the table, notably as an excellent source of iron, selenium, and niacin, while still following Canine Caviar's single-protein, single-carbohydrate, alkaline-formulated approach across all life stages.
Key Features
- Duck meal is the single source of animal protein, offering an excellent source of iron, selenium, and niacin.
- Teff, a gluten-free ancient grain, serves as the sole complex carbohydrate source.
- Formulated for All Life Stages, suitable for small and medium breed puppies as well as moderately active and nursing dogs.

- No chemical preservatives, by-products, GMOs, BHA, BHT, or ethoxyquin.

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
Duck is a genuinely useful rotation protein for dogs who've cycled through chicken, beef, and lamb without relief, and pairing it with teff instead of a more familiar grain keeps the recipe distinct from the rest of the shelf. Multiple customer reports point to real improvements in itching and digestion after switching. 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.
