Frequently Asked Questions About Seasons Natural®

Do my pets need climate specific pet food if I live in the South?

Yes. Even in normally “warmer” states like Florida, as an example, temperatures fluctuate a great amount from summer (90ºF +) to winter (30ºF +). In Southern California temperatures easily range from 100°F to below freezing depending on the time of year. Your pet’s metabolism, depending upon breed, will increase as the ambient temperature drops below about 78ºF. Try jumping in a swimming pool that is 70ºF and you’ll get an idea of “how high” the metabolic trigger is! Remember, your pet has a body temperature of around 101ºF, so as  your area’s cooler weather Fall and Winter approachs, your pet can benefit from the higher levels of protein and fat that Seasons Natural® Cool Weather Blend™ provides. During the warmer months when pets are less active, our Warm Weather Blend™ formulas are easier on your pet's gastrointestinal and digestive system because of the managed protein level and lower fat.

What formula is right for my dog?

• We offer three primary protein formulations to meet the needs of your unique pet. Chicken meal & Brown Rice, Lamb meal & Brown Rice, and a Multi Protein formula which is a blend of Chicken and Lamb  4 protein sources.

• Available in 30lb, 15lb and 5lb sizes.

• If you are currently feeding a Lamb or Chicken based diet, you may wish to convert to our corresponding formula. If your dog is particularly active, we recommend the Multi Protein blend.

• In all cases, our formulas include either FRESH de-boned Chicken or FRESH de-boned Lamb. These greatly enhance palatability and digestibility.

• All formulas help condition your pet’s skin and coat from the inside out with healthy Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.

• Additional Skin & Coat Conditioning: The Fish meal in the Chicken Meal and Lamb Meal formulas helps create a broader amino acid profile which is good for your pet because it contains high levels of beneficial Omega oils. The Multi Protein formula also has a broad amino acid profile because of the multiple sources of protein, so added Fish oil provides additional skin and coat conditioning. All formulas have vitamin E and flax seed which have been shown to encourage very healthy coats.

Has our manufacturing facility ever had quality problems?

We are produced at a small private family-owned U.S. facility where food ingredient safety, label integrity, and quality production process protocol is job number one.

Should my dog’s stool be solid and hard?

Not necessarily so. Your dog’s stool should be firm but with a slight degree of softness and moisture to it. This combination is conducive to good colon health for your dog.

Why do you include beet pulp in your formulas?

Beet pulp is a mixed fiber source that contains both fermentable fibers and non-fermentable fibers. Fermentable fibers are broken down by the bacteria in the large intestine. This encourages a healthy GI tract. Non-fermentable pass through the intestinal tract to assist in normalizing the stool. This combination helps reduce the incidence of diarrhea and flatulence while maintaining a proper level of stool production.
