Frequently Asked Questions 

Sweet Pea Recipes 

How are recipes made?  We source our ingredients, cook them in small batches, and hand-pack them in vacuum sealed bags. 

Do Sweet Pea recipes meet AAFCO standards?  Sweet Pea recipes are vet-formulated recipes that meet the Association of American Feed Control Official guidelines for all canine life stages. 

Can I feed Sweet Pea to my puppy?  You can absolutely start your puppies out with fresh food.  It is important to note that puppies up to 4 months will require twice as many calories as they do as adults.  This is because they are growing and active.  As your puppy grows in weight, you will need to adjust the calorie intake according to their current weight.  

How long will my food stay fresh?  Opened pouches will retain freshness for up to 5-7 days with refrigeration and the use of a sealed container.  Unopened vacuum sealed pouches will last for 3 weeks or can be frozen for up to 3 months.  

How should I make the switch from commercial food to Sweet Pea Canine?

• Days 5/6 75% Sweet Pea with 25% old food 

• Day 7 100% - Welcome to Sweet Pea Canine Club!

Will my dog have soft stool when eating Sweet Pea Canine?  Your canine will need a gradual adjustment from dehydrated dog foods. Once they have fully converted to Sweet Pea, their stools will be firm due to the high percentages of quality protein and ingredients in our meal formulas. 

Why does my dog drink less water when eating Sweet Pea?  Dogs drink more water when consuming dehydrated dog foods and treats.  On the contrary, Sweet Pea recipes are fortified with water from the brown rice to the fresh vegetables.  Each pound of Sweet Pea contains over a 1/2 cup of water.  

Do my Sweet Pea Treats need to be refrigerated just like my Sweet Pea Meals?  Absolutely! In order for your fresh baked treats to stay fresh, keep any opened bags refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.  Your sealed bags will stay fresh in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
