Zeal is now expected in their bowls or else!

Zeal Canada beef recipe gently air dried dog food is a big hit in my house with my three Great Danes. They are perfect size for training the young one. The two adult Danes are now expecting me to put some on top of their food. I put a few in their dinner bowls, and now when I forget they look at me and refuse to eat until it’s on top. My dogs are very picky and they like zeal. It is very similar to another brand I have bought in the past, except zeal doesn’t cost as much. They are small pieces compared to their food. They are too small to give as treats to my adult male, they fall out of his mouth, but he loves them in his food.

Put this out along with his usual homemade food. He went to this and ate the entire plate! My Shih Tzu mix is the pickiest eater ever so I was amazed that he liked it. Again the next day he chose this over the homemade food. No upset stomach or digestive issues. Having solid poops. The food is a bit on the expensive side but definitely something I’ll continue to buy and rotate in with his other food. Product is small squares, which work nicely with his small, narrow mouth. I think I’ve finally found one he likes!

FAQ

What is air-dried dog food?

Air-dried dog food is gently dried to remove moisture while concentrating the nutrition and natural flavor of its ingredients. ZEAL is shelf-stable and ready to serve, with no thawing or rehydrating required.

Is ZEAL air-dried dog food complete and balanced?

Yes. ZEAL air-dried dog food is formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages and can be served as an everyday meal.

What makes ZEAL air-dried dog food different?

Every recipe is made with 96% real meat and organs, along with carefully selected natural ingredients and superfoods. ZEAL is gently air-dried and crafted in Canada, with no grains, fillers, artificial colors, or artificial preservatives.

Which ZEAL recipe should i choose?

Choose from Beef, Chicken, Salmon & Duck, or Turkey based on your dog’s preferences. Each recipe features a different combination of meat and organs while sharing ZEAL’s 96% meat-first foundation. If your dog has a known food allergy or medical condition, consult your veterinarian before choosing a recipe.

Why is the recommended portion smaller than kibble?

ZEAL Air-Dried recipes are calorie-dense, so many dogs need a smaller serving by volume to meet their daily calorie needs. Use the ZEAL Feeding Calculator and measure portions in grams for the most consistent results.

How should i transition my dog to zeal?

Transition gradually over 7–10 days. Begin with approximately 20% ZEAL and increase the amount every one to two days while reducing your dog’s current food. For dogs with sensitive stomachs, extend the transition to two weeks.

Can i rotate between different ZEAL recipes?

Yes. Rotating recipes can add variety to your dog’s meals. Introduce each new recipe gradually to help support a smooth dietary transition.

Can ZEAL be served as a topper?

Yes. ZEAL can be served as a complete meal, mixer, or topper. When using it as a topper, reduce the amount of your dog’s regular food so the combined portions remain within their daily calorie needs.

Does ZEAL need to be rehydrated?

No. ZEAL is ready to serve straight from the bag. You may add water if your dog prefers a softer texture, but rehydration is not required. Always provide access to fresh drinking water.

How should i store ZEAL after opening?

Reseal the bag after each use and store it in a cool, dry place. For best freshness, use within eight weeks of opening and follow the best-before date printed on the package.
