Over 95% wild boar meat and organs, with the added vitamins, minerals and taurine that make it a complete diet. Use the feeding guide to set the daily amount for your dog's weight, and step the changeover up gradually rather than switching in one go. It also works as a meal topper — just reduce the base meal so you aren't adding calories on top of a full portion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"pz-q\"\u003eIs it better fed wet or dry?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEither is safe, but wet is the better default for a main meal. The food sits at 5% moisture, so feeding it dry leaves your dog's whole water intake to the bowl beside it. Warm water fixes that and brings the smell out, which tends to win over picky eaters. Equal parts water, three to five minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"pz-q\"\u003eHow does this differ from air-dried food?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither is cooked, but the drying is done differently. Freeze-drying freezes the food and removes the ice under vacuum, which gives you a light, porous square that crumbles in your fingers and takes water back fast. Air-drying uses slow-moving air to evaporate the moisture, leaving something denser and chewier. In practice that means freeze-dried is easier to break up as a topper or a reward, while air-dried holds its shape better for chewing. Freeze-dried also carries less moisture — up to 95% removed, against 70–80% for air-dried — so it keeps longer unopened: typically 18 months or more, where air-dried runs 12–18.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"pz-q\"\u003eWould wild boar suit a dog with allergies?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a reasonable one to try. Sensitivities form against proteins a dog has already eaten, so something genuinely unfamiliar can't be a trigger yet — and boar almost never turns up in everyday diets. The exception is pork: wild boar and the farmed pig are the same species, so a dog that reacts to pork may well react to boar too. The thing a novel protein won't tell you is whether food is behind the symptoms at all. Itchy skin, repeat ear infections and soft stools all have other possible causes, environmental allergens included. Only an elimination trial run with your vet settles that; a single-protein food is one piece of that process, not a fix on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"pz-q\"\u003eIs wild boar the same thing as pork?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame species, different animal in practice. The farmed pig is a domesticated wild boar, which is the part that matters if you're choosing on sensitivities — a dog that reacts to pork may react to boar. Nutritionally they diverge. Boar are free-ranging and forage for what they eat, so the meat is darker, leaner and higher in protein than commercially raised pork, and that shows up in this recipe at 12% fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"pz-q\"\u003eWhat's the best way to keep it in this climate?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSqueeze the air out and reseal the pack properly every time. Freeze-dried food draws moisture straight back out of the air, and humidity here doesn't let up, so a pack left open or half-closed goes soft in a matter of days. A cupboard is the right spot — not the counter beside the sink or stove — and leave it in its own pack rather than tipping it into an open jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"pz-q\"\u003eHow do I switch my dog over from kibble?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBugsy's set out a staged changeover, raising their food as the old one comes down:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pz-steps\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pz-step\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e20%\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDay 1–2\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cs style=\"width:20%\"\u003e\u003c\/s\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pz-step\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e40%\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDay 3–4\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cs style=\"width:40%\"\u003e\u003c\/s\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pz-step\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e60%\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDay 5–6\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cs style=\"width:60%\"\u003e\u003c\/s\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pz-step\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e80%\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDay 7–8\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cs style=\"width:80%\"\u003e\u003c\/s\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pz-step\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e100%\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDay 9–10\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cs style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\u003c\/s\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft stools during the changeover are common and usually settle — it takes time for the gut to adapt to a different type of food.
