Dietary needs for a

Portuguese Water Dog

Protein

The good news is that Portuguese Water Dogs are less prone to several common diseases found in other breeds of dogs. But, high-quality food is still vital to keep their health at an optimum level. Kabo is different from most conventional commercial dog food brands since we only use high-quality and human-grade meats as the 1st ingredient in all of our Fresh Foods. 

If your Portuguese water dog’s stomach is upset, first try Kabo’s Tender Chicken recipe. It's specifically formulated to comfort upset stomachs. Picky or dogs with allergies love our Hypoallergenic Salmon recipe, made with real salmon filets and limited ingredients.

Carbohydrates & Fiber

Where carbohydrates provide your Portie with some much-needed energy, fiber is necessary for healthy digestion.  We choose natural, Canadian, whole sources of carbohydrates like chickpeas, squash, rice, sweet potato and russet potato. Pet parents appreciate Kabo recipes because, unlike many popular dog foods, we don’t use fillers like wheat and corn.

Our in-house expert animal nutritionists have developed recipes with only your Water Dog's health in mind. Canadian, human-grade, green beans, red apples, blueberries, spinach, kale and carrots are some of the ingredients featured in Kabo fresh foods. This not only adds natural fiber, but vital minerals and vitamins like folic acid, iron, potassium, and vitamin A, C and K.

Fats

Although they are essential to your Portie's diet, you have to be cautious when it comes to fat content in their diet. Not all types of fat sources are beneficial and portion control is a must!

The fats found in Kabo fresh foods come a balance of lean meats, and human-grade fish and sunflower oil. This makes Kabo an great source of essential fats and Omega-3 fatty acids and Omega-6 fatty acids.

The addition of Omega fatty acids in your pup's diet will help support a beautiful coat, immunity, joint health, healthy skin and more. Plus you won't have to buy any expensive supplements!

We love Kabo! My dog Luna has been eating Kabo for a couple of months now and loves it! She's a picky eater and we are so happy to finally find a food that she loves! Her favorite is the Lucious Lamb and we are just about to add the new Hypoallergenic Salmon. Her coat looks amazing and she has more energy!

Fussy eater - problem solved!

Rated 4.9/5
Rated 5/5

I have been feeding my pups Kabo food for several months. In the past, our beloved greyhound was a very fussy eater - we tried every brand of commercial food out there and she never finished her meals. Once we transitioned to Kabo, our girl became excited to eat and now gobbles up all of her food at each feeding. We have also noticed significant improvements to her coat (shiny, reduced shedding) and her energy levels are better than ever. There is no more wasted canned/dry food in this household! Thanks Kabo!
