FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ANF HOLISTIC DOG FOOD

I. AGE RANGE & KIBBLE SIZE

My puppy is only 2–3 months old. Can they eat ANF Holistic?

ANF Holistic is suitable for dogs over 3 months of age. If your puppy has just reached 3 months and is beginning to transition to solid food, you can lightly soak the kibble in a small amount of warm water during the first few days to help them get accustomed to it, then gradually transition to dry kibble.

Is the kibble too large? Can small breeds such as Poodles or Pomeranians chew it safely?

The kibble is compact and round, measuring approximately 6 × 7 mm, with a crunchy, porous texture. Its small size makes it easy for puppies and small breeds such as Toy Breeds to chew and swallow.

My dog is getting old and has weak teeth. Will the dry kibble be too hard?

The kibble has a small, round shape of approximately 6 × 7 mm, so it does not require excessive biting force. If your dog is very old or has lost many teeth, you can soften the kibble with a little warm water or consider ANF Soft, a softer food option that may be easier to chew and swallow.

Is the small 6 × 7 mm kibble suitable for large breeds such as Golden Retrievers, Alaskan Malamutes, or Huskies?

ANF Holistic is formulated for dogs of all life stages. Although the kibble is relatively small at approximately 6 × 7 mm, the formula provides a high protein content of at least 32% from three meat sources, helping provide the calories and nutrients needed by dogs of different sizes, including large breeds.

II. PICKY EATERS & PROTEIN SOURCES

My dog is extremely picky and refuses almost every type of kibble. Will they like ANF Holistic?

ANF Holistic is designed with a combination of three high-quality meat sources: beef, chicken, and duck. The natural roasted-meat aroma helps enhance palatability and stimulate appetite, making it an appealing option for picky eaters.

Does ANF Holistic contain a high level of protein?

Yes. ANF Holistic provides a high protein content of at least 32%, helping supply abundant energy and supporting your dog’s overall health and development.

What are the benefits of combining three meat sources: beef, chicken, and duck?

Each meat source provides different nutritional benefits:

• Beef: Provides protein and nutrients that support muscle development and healthy skin and coat.

• Chicken: Provides protein and nutrients that support energy metabolism and healthy body condition.

• Duck: Provides protein and nutrients that support overall health, including cardiovascular and joint health.

With a high protein content of 32%, can this food cause internal “heat,” skin irritation, or itching?

A high-protein diet does not inherently cause “internal heat” or skin irritation. ANF Holistic combines red meat (beef) with white meats (chicken and duck) and provides a balanced nutritional profile. However, individual dogs may have different food sensitivities. If your dog develops persistent itching, skin problems, or other unusual symptoms, consult a veterinarian to identify the underlying cause.

III. DIGESTION & STOOL ODOR

My dog has a sensitive stomach. Could changing food cause diarrhea or vomiting?

ANF Holistic contains Protease enzyme, which supports protein digestion and nutrient absorption. When changing your dog’s food, it is recommended to follow a 7-day gradual transition to help the digestive system adapt to the new formula.

Will this food make my dog’s stool smell stronger? I live in an apartment and am worried about odor.

ANF Holistic contains natural Yucca extract, which supports digestive health and may help reduce unpleasant stool odor.

How does Protease enzyme help my dog digest food?

Protease is a digestive enzyme that helps break down complex proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. This supports efficient protein digestion and nutrient absorption while reducing the digestive workload associated with breaking down proteins.

How should I switch from my dog’s current food to ANF Holistic?

Follow the 7-day transition method:

• Days 1–2: 25% ANF Holistic + 75% current food

• Days 3–4: 50% ANF Holistic + 50% current food

• Days 5–6: 75% ANF Holistic + 25% current food

• Day 7: 100% ANF Holistic

This gradual transition allows your dog’s digestive system to adapt naturally to the new food.

IV. SKIN, COAT & BODY CONDITION

My dog often has itchy skin and excessive shedding. Can ANF Holistic help?

ANF Holistic provides a balanced ratio of Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Zinc (Zn). These nutrients support healthy skin and help maintain a smooth, shiny coat.

If your dog has persistent itching, hair loss, or diagnosed skin disease, consult a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause.

Can feeding a high-protein 32% diet for a long time cause obesity or a sagging abdomen?

A high-protein diet does not automatically cause obesity. Protein from quality meat sources such as beef and chicken supports lean muscle maintenance, while Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy metabolism. However, maintaining a healthy body condition also depends on total calorie intake, portion size, activity level, age, and individual metabolism.

Does ANF Holistic support strong bones and healthy skeletal development?

The formula provides a balanced Calcium-to-Phosphorus ratio of approximately 1.2–1.4:1, together with nutrients from duck. This nutritional balance supports healthy bone development and normal joint function.

Can long-term feeding cause urinary stones or put excessive strain on the kidneys?

ANF Holistic provides a balanced mineral profile, including a Potassium : Sodium : Chloride ratio of 4:2:3, designed to support normal electrolyte and acid-base balance.

For dogs with existing kidney disease, urinary stones, or other diagnosed health conditions, dietary requirements can vary. Consult a veterinarian before making long-term dietary changes.

V. IMMUNE SUPPORT & QUALITY STANDARDS

What nutrients in ANF Holistic help support my dog’s immune system?

ANF Holistic provides balanced levels of Vitamins A, E, and D3, together with natural antioxidants. These nutrients support normal immune function and help protect cells from oxidative stress.

Where does ANF Holistic come from? Does it meet recognized quality standards?

ANF Holistic is a pet food brand positioned as “Brand in USA.” Its nutritional formulas are developed to meet the nutritional profiles established by two recognized international organizations: AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) in the United States and FEDIAF (European Pet Food Industry Federation) in Europe.

Do I need to give my dog additional calcium powder or digestive supplements?

Additional supplements are generally not necessary when your dog is fed ANF Holistic as a complete and balanced diet according to the feeding guidelines. The formula provides 32% protein, a balanced Calcium-to-Phosphorus ratio, digestive enzymes, vitamins, and minerals.

However, dogs with specific nutritional deficiencies or medical conditions may require additional supplementation under veterinary guidance.

VI. PACKAGING, FEEDING & STORAGE

Is there a small trial-size package? I’m worried my dog may not like a large bag.

Yes. ANF Holistic is available in a convenient 500 g package, making it suitable for trying the food or taking it along when traveling or going out with your dog.

Once your dog is accustomed to the food, you can choose the 1.6 kg package for greater convenience and better value.

How many bags are included in one carton of ANF Holistic?

The standard manufacturer carton configurations are:

• 500 g bags: 24 bags per carton

• 1.6 kg bags: 8 bags per carton

How long can an opened bag of ANF Holistic be stored? Does it need to be refrigerated?

Refrigeration is not necessary. After opening, tightly seal the zip-lock closure or transfer the kibble into an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

For the best freshness, aroma, and texture, it is recommended to use the food within 1 month after opening.

Is it better to feed ANF Holistic dry or soaked in water?

Dry kibble can be fed directly. The chewing action may help provide mechanical cleaning of the teeth and exercise the jaw.

For puppies that have just reached 3 months of age and are beginning to eat solid food, you can lightly soak the kibble with warm water to make it easier to chew and swallow.

Can ANF Holistic be used as a training treat?

Yes. The kibble is approximately 6 × 7 mm and has a naturally appealing aroma from three meat sources, making it convenient to carry and use as a small reward during training, such as house-training or obedience exercises.

When using kibble as treats, remember to account for the treat calories as part of your dog’s total daily food intake.

How can I identify genuine ANF Holistic when purchasing?

Genuine ANF Holistic packaging features clear, high-quality printing, illustrations of a chicken and puppy, the Brand in USA logo, and references to AAFCO nutritional standards. Products distributed through official channels should also have the required Vietnamese supplementary label from the authorized distributor.
