Grain-Free Ocean Recipe FAQs

Why feed grain-free dog food, and is it safe?

+ -
Grain-free dog food can be a good option for dogs that do better without grains or need a different ingredient profile for digestive or skin sensitivities. It is not inherently better than grain-inclusive food, and dogs can digest grains well. Grain-free food can be safe when it is complete and balanced for your dog’s life stage. What matters most is the quality of the ingredients, what replaces the grains, and how well the overall formula meets your dog’s nutritional needs.

What makes Grain-Free Ocean Recipe a good choice for dogs with chicken sensitivities?

+ -
Best Breed Grain-Free Ocean Recipe contains no chicken meal or chicken fat and uses Atlantic salmon and whitefish meals as its primary animal protein sources. These fish proteins provide an alternative to commonly used proteins such as chicken, making the recipe a strong option for dogs with chicken sensitivities.

Are grain-free salmon dog foods better for dogs?

+ -
Not necessarily. Grain-free salmon dog food can be a good choice for dogs that do better without grains or need an alternative to more commonly used animal proteins, but grain-free is not inherently healthier for every dog. Salmon provides high-quality animal protein and beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids, while the overall quality and nutritional balance of the recipe matter more than whether it contains grains.

What are the carbohydrate sources in the Grain-Free Ocean Recipe?

+ -
Best Breed Grain-Free Ocean Recipe uses red lentils, chickpeas, green peas, and tapioca as grain-free carbohydrate sources. These ingredients provide energy and fiber without relying on grains or potatoes as the primary carbohydrate base.

Is salmon safe for dogs?

+ -
Yes. Salmon is a nutritious animal protein that can be safely included in a complete and balanced dog food. It provides essential amino acids along with Omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA, which help support healthy skin and coat. Best Breed Grain-Free Ocean Recipe uses Atlantic salmon meal as its primary animal protein source, paired with whitefish meal.

What are New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussels, and why are they in Best Breed recipes?

+ -
New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussels are a nutrient-dense ingredient naturally rich in minerals, amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants, and a unique combination of Omega-3 fatty acids. Nearly every Best Breed recipe includes New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussels as part of our approach to purposeful nutrition. Our recipes also contain natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin to help support joint and mobility health. Green-Lipped Mussels aren’t a recent ingredient trend for Best Breed – they’ve been part of our formulas since the beginning.

What does “EU-approved ingredients” mean, and why does it matter?

+ -
Because some Best Breed formulas are exported to the European Union, we use EU-approved ingredients where applicable – one of the strictest sourcing standards in the world. In practice, this means ingredients used in our food must come from sources approved for the human-consumption supply chain before processing. For example, if a fish is rejected for human consumption, it cannot be used to make Best Breed’s EU-approved fish meal – it is diverted to the animal-grade supply chain instead. This does not mean Best Breed kibble is human grade. But it does mean the source ingredients meet a higher standard before processing.

What are the benefits of slow-cooked, low-temperature dog kibble?

+ -
Best Breed kibble is made using a slower, lower-temperature cooking process than conventional high-temperature, high-speed production. Cooking more slowly helps maintain the nutritional integrity of proteins, vitamins, and minerals while properly conditioning carbohydrates for easier digestion and nutrient absorption. We also produce our food in small batches so quality and consistency can be closely monitored throughout the process. The result is highly digestible, nutrient-dense food designed to help your pet absorb and utilize more from every meal.
