Reviews

The Superfood Every Dog Needs

"Amazing healthy superfood for our dogs. We use it as treats as a meal for breakfast. It has changed our dogs’ lives in a huge way. Both our dogs are older (9 and 11) and they used to be somewhat slow and sluggish and they both sprint now and race each other up hills and through forests. It’s unbelievable how much difference this food has made in their lives."

— Magdalena P. (5/5)

Great food for the whole pack !!

"My 5 picky eaters love this! Each dog has their own concerns (allergy, over weight, arthritis) and i find this food works well for all of them! Have one food they all like is so much easier!"

— DEBORA C. (5/5)

"The food was extremely dry and hard even though it's not expired and packaging seems ok. Not sure if the recipe changed or I got a bad batch but this used to be easy to crumble into tiny pieces for my little dog. Now she won't eat it."

— Angela (1/5)

Our two LOVE their Smack!!

"We've been using as a topper to start. They absolutely love it and are much more enthused about eating now. We feed a high quality Canadian canned food, which is quite pricey, and planning to switch to all Smack, which is pricier still, but so healthy and they love it so much!"

— Mary D. (5/5)

Kaia approved!

"After her older sister passed away, Kaia was barely eating and losing weight. I always knew kibble wasn’t the best, so after some research and recommendation from a certified canine nutritionist, we tried Smack and Kaia loves it!! She looks forward to meal time and is thriving!"

— Joanne H. (5/5)

Q&A

Is it easy to find this product ? I live in northern BC in a fairly small town
Great question, Shelly! We're currently available in just over 3,000 retailers throughout North America. Depending on location, you may refer to our websites Store Locator: https://ca.smackpetfood.com/pages/store-locator We also deliver to any shipping address or PO Box if you would prefer to order from our official website; ca.smackpetfood.com!
I have a 15 lb average activity Lhasa Apso. You indicated that 1 cup has 100 gr. According to the feeding guide, I would start feeding him approximately 1/2 cup a day. This would equal 240 calories. Is this too low or a good starting point.
Thank you for your question, Christie! Our feeding guidelines will be generalized, with basic factors like age, weight and activity level taken into consideration. Depending on pet, breed, metabolism, treats/other food fed throughout the day and much more may all cause variance with what we'd recommend feeding, and what may work for some, may not work for all. Each recipe will have their kcal/cup (100g) amounts listed underneath the 'Guaranteed Analysis' section that you may use to calculate exact feeding amounts for your unique pup. A quick Google search or a visit to your pups trusted vet can help determine how many calories they require daily, and this can be used to get a much more accurate feeding amount calculated.
You say there is 100 grams per cup. My 15 lb dog can have so little per day. I divide this by 3 servings. I think she is starving. Its so little, one bite. Is she getting all she needs. Please tell me how many grams in a day should a less active 15 lb dog be getting.
Great question, Di! For a less active, 15 lb pup, we would suggest feeding approximately 1/2 cup of food, or 50g per day. If fed multiple times per day, you can divide this number accordingly. For some pets - especially on a dehydrated, filler-free, nutrient dense diet like Smack, the adjusted feeding amounts can take some time to adjust to. Please know that they are receiving everything nutritionally required to thrive and live their best lives. To put things into perspective, over 20 lbs of bone in meats, organs and organic, non-GMO botanicals are contained in each large bag that we produce, which means a little goes a really long way.
I just bought my 1st bag. Where is the B vitamins. No egg fo b12. Also omegas. I have a shitsu. Omega is good for her skin and hair. Thank you
Hi Diana! B vitamins and Omegas will naturally be contained within the superfood ingredients and proteins that we include in our recipes!
How many cups of food does the largest bag have in it?
Hi there! There are 25 cups in the 5.5lbs (2.5kg) bags. The weighted measurement for Smack is 100g per cup.

Frequently asked questions

What is Very Berry Chicken made for?

Very Berry Chicken is a dog food recipe designed around free-range Manitoba chicken combined with a berry-focused superfood blend. Smack describes it as one of its signature formulas and lists it as approximately 80% Manitoba chicken with 20% certified organic, GMO-free fruits, vegetables, and supporting ingredients. It is created to provide a nutrient-dense, meat-forward diet that also includes antioxidant-rich fruits for added nutritional balance.

What chicken ingredients are included in Very Berry Chicken?

The recipe includes multiple chicken-based components such as chicken meat, chicken gizzard, and chicken liver, providing a full spectrum of animal-based nutrients. Smack notes that its Manitoba chicken is prepared bone-in with organs, which helps deliver naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that support overall canine health and energy.

Which berries are included in Very Berry Chicken?

Very Berry Chicken includes a blend of strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, and cranberry. These berries are included not only for flavor but also for their natural antioxidant content. They contribute to the recipe’s identity and differentiate it from other Smack chicken-based formulas by adding a fruit-forward nutritional profile.

How is Very Berry Chicken different from Chunky Chicken?

Very Berry Chicken has a stronger emphasis on berry-based superfoods and higher protein and fat content, while Chunky Chicken focuses more on chicken combined with vegetables like pumpkin and celery. Very Berry Chicken lists about 40% minimum crude protein and 29% minimum crude fat, whereas Chunky Chicken has approximately 35% minimum crude protein and 24% minimum crude fat. This makes Very Berry Chicken more energy-dense and fruit-focused in its formulation.

Is Very Berry Chicken free from grains and fillers?

Yes. Smack states that Very Berry Chicken contains no grains, gluten, fillers, corn, soy, or synthetic vitamins. This clean-label formulation is designed for owners who prefer minimally processed dog food and want to avoid common carbohydrate fillers or artificial additives.

What sizes are available for Very Berry Chicken?

Smack offers Very Berry Chicken in multiple sizes, including 8.8 oz/250 g, 3.3 lb/1.5 kg, and 5.5 lb/2.5 kg bags. Smaller sizes are ideal for first-time buyers or dogs trying the recipe for the first time, while larger bags are better suited for regular feeding and multi-dog households.

Can Very Berry Chicken be used for puppies?

Yes. Very Berry Chicken can be fed to puppies as part of an all-life-stages formula. Smack feeding guidelines suggest dividing the daily portion into multiple meals, typically three feedings for puppies, to support digestion and steady energy levels. Owners should still follow feeding charts and adjust portions based on growth, activity, and body condition.

How should Very Berry Chicken be introduced?

Smack recommends transitioning gradually by mixing Very Berry Chicken with the dog’s current food over several days. This slow introduction helps reduce digestive upset and allows owners to monitor stool quality, appetite, and overall tolerance while adjusting feeding amounts as needed.

Is Very Berry Chicken considered a high protein dog food?

Yes. Very Berry Chicken is considered a high-protein dog food due to its high percentage of Manitoba chicken combined with organ meats and nutrient-dense ingredients. Its guaranteed analysis reflects a protein-rich profile designed for active dogs, muscle maintenance, and overall energy support.
