What Makes Now Fresh Grain Free Dry Dog Food Different?
•
Ingredients fit for human consumption
All ingredients are government certified as "fit for human consumption" status in state of the art, government inspected facilities.
•
Truly all natural
Many dog foods say they are "all natural" yet are not 100% natural. In many cases these foods may have artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.
•
Butcher quality meats
Unlike well-known grocery store brands, we found PetCurean Now! Grain Free to be one of the very few pet foods to use the highest quality butcher meats.
Most brands use rendered meats filled with by-products.
•
No meat meals
Almost all pet foods contain meat meal (rendered meats). Although there are some quality meat meals, there is the possibility for large amounts of bone to be included in this ingredient.

How it works:
Now Fresh Grain Free recipes were developed with veterinarians and certified nutritionists to ensure your dog receives the necessary nutrition needed to maintain an active lifestyle. Now Fresh Grain Free is slow cooked only once to preserve nutrients, which are typically lost in many commercially processed foods. Although other grain free dog foods may contain higher levels of protein, this excess is ultimately eliminated through your dog's urine, offering little to no benefit to your dog's health.
Coconut oil is used in each Now Fresh Grain Free variety and assimilates directly through the stomach lining, which ultimately breaks down into simple sugars to be used as energy. Coconut oil is also believed to have antiviral benefits by reducing the risk of gastrointestinal issues (inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, and food allergies).

Kibble too small for bigger dogs
I went online to research dog foods and this was rated as one of the best. Problem was the kibble was too small for my english bulldogs. The dogs liked the food, but kept choking on the small kibble. I will definitely buy this if they make a bigger kibble.

My three year old yellow Lab is a guide dog
I both need and want the best for my guide dog, Guam; she deserves it. She had gotten overweight due to surgeries I had to have and so she was lacking the daily exercise she needed to maintain her weight. She has been eating this particular food for almost three months and has gradually lost the weight. Her coat is shiny and tends to shed less than she used to. However, due to the increase of price (I live on a limited income) I am having to change to a less costly product. This is truly a healthy formula.

Doggie favorite
This is the first dry dog food ever, that my four dogs will eat.they have been terribly spoiled over the years, and came to think they were human.
Now they are eager to be fed either dry or with a little moist food mixed in. their coats are shinny and we have no more itchy dry skin.
This is a great product.

To give you the proper amount of food to give your Dachshund we would need her weight. If you click on the How to use tab on the product page there is a chart that may help you determine the right amount of food.
I live in area where most specialty things are hard to find, but I have never had a hard time finding this food in any pet store, local or chain. When I lived in other states, it was readily available too. I don't think anyone should have any problems finding it.
