Legume-Free Gently Cooked Dog Food
Legume-Free Gently Cooked Dog Food
Real food. Real ingredients. Zero legumes. Made fresh weekly in Charlotte, NC.
Not all dogs thrive on legume-heavy diets. Whether your dog has dietary sensitivities, heart health concerns, or you simply prefer to avoid peas, lentils, and soy — CORE K9 has recipes crafted just for them.
Why Choose Legume-Free Dog Food?
The FDA has investigated potential links between legume-heavy diets and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs. Our legume-free recipes give you peace of mind.
Some pet parents and veterinary sources have noted that legumes are high in glutamate, which may aggravate seizure activity in sensitive dogs.
Dogs with sensitive stomachs may do better on recipes that use wholesome grains and vegetables instead of legume-based fillers.
Every CORE K9 recipe uses real, human-grade ingredients you can see and recognize — no mystery fillers, no artificial preservatives.
