Grandma LUCY'S 844212 Pureformance Grain Free Chicken Food for Dogs, 10-Pound

This 10-pound bag of freeze-dried dog food is a grain-free chicken recipe that rehydrates to make 46 pounds of fresh food. The flakes are gently freeze-dried and minimally processed, and they turn into a stew-like consistency when prepared with water. The recipe contains chicken along with chickpeas, fruits and vegetables, and it suits dogs of all breeds and life stages.

The flakes, the ingredients and what the bag holds

The food comes as flakes rather than nuggets or patties, and freeze-drying is the step that gives it a pantry shelf life of up to 18 months. Once water is added, the flakes swell into a stew-like consistency that sits closer to wet food than to kibble.

• The recipe is grain-free and gluten-free, and it is GMO-free.
• Chicken is the protein in the recipe, alongside chickpeas, fruits and vegetables.
• No artificial preservatives, colours or sweeteners go into the food.
• The 10-pound bag rehydrates to 46 pounds of prepared food.
• Each batch is prepared in small batches at a family-owned California facility, and the food is made in the USA.
• The recipe is USDA inspected and approved.

Does it fit your dog and your cupboard?

Every breed and every life stage is covered by this recipe, meaning puppies, adults and seniors are all included in what it states. Buyers feeding a single small dog should weigh the yield: 10 pounds of flakes becomes 46 pounds of fresh food, which is a large amount to get through once the bag is opened.

Pantry storage works for up to 18 months, so the bag does not need freezer space before it is opened. Chicken is the protein, which matters for any dog already eating a poultry-based diet, and the grain-free, gluten-free recipe is the one to check if your dog currently eats a grain-inclusive kibble.
