Is this a balanced diet

Thank you for your question! PET | TAO Harmony Limited Ingredient Canned Formula (Case of 12) is a balanced diet. From a Western nutritional standpoint, It is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for "All Life Stages". 

Additionally, according to Eastern Food Therapy, the diet is energetically balanced. To learn more about the importance of energetic balance in pet food, check out this article: https://pettao.com/food-energetics/

So, it's the most balanced dog food out there - from an Eastern AND Western sense!

Are all the Pet Tao formulas considered a full diet or a supplement! I am feeding my Dog Chill but I think I need to try the Harmony Limited Ingredient as my Dog has horrible allergies. Any other suggestions for allergies?

Thank you for your question! Our vets have not experienced issues feeding all 4 PET | TAO canned formulas as full diets, but since two of them haven't been AAFCO approved for all life stages, those are labeled for intermittent/supplemental feeding only (this applies to Zing and Chill). For peace of mind, you can add a Daily Vitamin to these two diets. Limited Ingredient Harmony and Beef Harmony are full diets for all life stages. Limited Ingredient Harmony along with Complement Immune is a great combination for dogs with allergies. Here's an article with more info about our allergy recommendations: https://pettao.com/10-easy-tips-manage-dog-allergies/

Where are all your ingredients sourced and where is the food processed and packed?

Thank you for your question and your interest in Chinese Medicine! PET | TAO has information about their manufacturing processes in this blog post: https://pettao.com/pet-tao-transparency/.

Why did the color of the canned food change from the wet brown color... To a dry white color food??? My dog does not like the new color, is there an issue? Wet brown color 2110N23PTL02 Best by Sept 2022 Dry white color 2419N13PTL02 Best by Dec 2022 PLEASE REPLY BACK ASAP.

Thank you for your question! This variation in color of PET | TAO products is normal. Color changes in this product depending on whether light or dark meat turkey is used in each batch. Here's an article about the variability in PET | TAO formulas: https://pettao.com/variability-pet-food-can/. However, if your dog doesn't like this batch, we can offer you a full refund. Just email info@tcvmpet.com. Thank you!

Do you ship to Alaska.

Hi there, Judith! Yes, we can ship to Alaska! However, we are unable to provide free shipping with a $99 purchase to Alaska.

Hi, The Harmony canned food has 412 kcal/can and suggested amount per day for my dogs weight (45#) is 3 cans. The freeze dried Harmony food has 219 kcal/cup and the suggested feeding amount is 2 2/3 cup to 3 cups a day. 1236 kcal (412 x 3) vs. 657 kcal (219 x 3) is a big calorie difference. Do I need to feed more of the freeze dried than what's listed for a complete meal? Thanks!!

Thank you for your question!

There is a wide range in calorie recommendations for dogs: 1x Resting Energy Rate (RER) up to 2xRER. Part of the reason for the variance on the Freeze Dried food recommendation is there is air in each cup of food (between the nuggets). There isn't air when measuring calories in a cup of wet food. We recommend starting by feeding within the range on the label and adjusting as needed (by monitoring your dog's weight and body condition). The amount of food a dog needs is based on individual characteristics such as age, activity, whether they are spayed/neutered, etc.
