Why Feed Your Pet Organix?

It’s a phrase you’ve probably heard when it comes to the food you put on your table, organic options can play a large role in your overall health. But can a natural and organic diet benefit your family pet too? The answer to that is simple, yes! The potential benefits of an organic diet for your dog or cat include a reduction of allergies and itchy skin, reduced digestion problems, and better health overall. According to AAFCO, the regulatory body that governs pet food, 'Natural' means the product comes from plant, animal, or mined sources that are either unprocessed, or processed without synthetic chemicals. 'Organic,' on the other hand, is kind of like 'natural-plus.'

1 Ingredient Organic Protein

Our USDA-certified organic proteins are highly digestible sources of protein and provide essential nutrition, such as amino acids, fatty acids, and minerals.

Made With A Nutrient-Packed Superfood Blend

Made with a nutrient-packed superfood blend - such as organic flaxseed, organic blueberries, and organic sweet potatoes.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long can I expect this to last once I open the bag
Answer:	They have their own brand of no-pull harness which I have had great success with. I too didn't like explaining that the leader wasn't a muzzle. A no-pull harness isn't the solution for every dog. I tried this brand of harness on 6 dogs (I foster) and it was not effective on any of them. 5 of them respond well to the Premier no-pull harness (same brand as gentle leader). Every dog is different. I would suggest going to the place you bought the gentle leader and looking at alternatives. Good luck! Also keep in mind that this style of harness can rub on the armpits of some dogs. I recommend no-pull harnesses to all of our adopters and one adopter used it on the dog they got from me and it rubbed his armpits raw after one walk. Another friend had this happen as well. These have all been dogs with very short coats (Boxer, Pointer). The freedom harness does have padding so should reduce this, but again, it did not work to help reduce pulling for me.
Question:	The title for this item says Merrick "...Real Duck and Green Pea Dog Food," but the photo shows "...Real Duck + Sweet Potato Recipe." Which is it
Answer:	This gate cannot be attached to walls. There are 4 plastic "walls " and they only attach very easily to one another
Question:	Is the kibble big enough for large breeds 60lbs
Answer:	A crate can not be attached to the playpen but one can be put inside.
Question:	Which flavor does not have lamb in it
Answer:	Then buy them.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do yiu add water to all freeze dried dig foid
Answer:	15/18 pounds
Question:	What percent protein, moisture
Answer:	It would be a tight fit. I bought the large for a 54 lb WaterSpaniel. It is generous and the dog can lie down. The smaller one is only about 2x2ft. A 2x3 crate would be a good fit.
Question:	Do they carry this in large breed puppies
Answer:	I only have the large but take the stated 'height' measurement for the small and then consider that it is a cylindrical shape probably 18cm in diameter. Mine is pretty light, with a carry strap. Can't fit it in any bags/luggage as it's too tall but is sturdy enough in its own bag. The small might be easier to pack/stow.
Question:	with the freeze dry in to the food, will it be okay to leave out like normal dry food or do I have to keep it cold
Answer:	It is like carrying a folding chair. The carry bag makes it easy to carry. Set up is simple and takes just minutes. The longest thing is putting the stakes into the ground to hold it down. It goes down very easily and quickly with just a two fingers.

User questions & answers

Question:	Approx how many cups in a bag
Answer:	it all depends on how big a bag you buy. we buy the smallest and feed our corgi one-half cup twice a day.
Question:	Question to the seller: Are their any Chinese supplements added ??.........And where is the food sourced from
Answer:	I am not the seller but a consumer. I know that might dog does not get sick on this food as she did on other brands and maintains her weight.
Question:	Is this owned by Purina
Answer:	The line was owned by Merrrick which sold out to Nestle-Purina. Although they allege they are continuing same processing, same management of organic food, many people object to Purina and do not want the food any longer. We are still using Organix as our older dog does well but for any new dogs in our life I will not purchase Purina products.
Question:	So im finding out this is owned now by purina is that true? i thought i had found a great food for my dog now ill have to rethink buying it. so sad if
Answer:	One day Purina will own ALL the dog-food products, I doubt they would be stupid enough to spoil this fine product, it is the Best ever. They have acquired a Gold Mine! Purina proclaims it will continue to be made in an Organic Procedure Kitchen, likely they bought the factory and kept the employees. They in it to make big money. At least this is my HOPE. The product is certainly EXPENSIVE enough to be carefully and responsively produced. Best good my dog has ever eaten. He is a senior and loved this food instantly. No more itchy skin ever since he was taken off Purina Chow as an infant, and put on Castor and Pollux Organic recipes. His coat has never been better. I feed him the canned Castor & Pollux foods also, but NOT the chicken thigh and wing..because it has dangerous shards of cooked bones! Hopefully PURINA will discontinue that dangerous product.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the kibble in this food small enough that I could feed it to my 5 lb. chihuahua without any problem
Answer:	The handle is attached all the way thru the chest crossing and is heavy duty elastic. Probably the best shaped and built harness we have bought. The "retracting" design is great. Took literally 5 min for our GSD service dog to get accustomed to it. We are actually thinking of getting another one for fear they may go out of stock.
Question:	I have a 115 lb. pitbull, dies anyone think feeding her 5 cups of dog food per day is a bit excessive
Answer:	The handle extends so it comes out from the harness I'd say approximately 4 inches off of my dogs shoulders if I need to really hold her back from something, but it's more of an "urgent use only" since she's connected to a leash. My dog is short but very strong & this harness has been amazing for us from short walks to long hikes & everything in between.
Question:	do you have glutin free food
Answer:	I got the large for my 50 lb. dog. I would probably say the XL for a 90 lb. dog. Or you could call the company to be doubly sure.
Question:	can i switch to the different types of flavors? like for a few months can i do this, then the next few months give them like the fish, then etc etc
Answer:	Very easy, but first you need to get the permanent adjustment correct then you are always good to go, even for a wiggly pooch. One of my std poodles often stays in her bed while I put it on for the park. I hold the martingale part, slip it over her head letting the chest piece drop down with the clips. Then I can clip one side before she stands and the other side when she heads for the door. I managed it for two dogs with an arm in a cast. Piece of cake. I highly recommend getting the leash. There is a video out there that shows you how to train the dog to let him put the harness over his head , but we never had that issue.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why has this product almost tripled in price since last october
Answer:	I don't recall that the price has tripled. The price has increased but it went up reasonably.
Question:	If I have a 20 lb. dog, should I get the "small breed" food or the "chicken & sweet potato
Answer:	Our little one weighs only 5-1/2 pounds, so we feed her the small breed mix. I think the company can answer your question better than I can.
Question:	Where is this food souced? not "made" as in products combined or prepared. where are the ingredients grown? even usda organic food can be from china
Answer:	The package does not specify where the food is from, only that it is cooked in the US. I would suggest you call the company and ask or write them. However, since the food is USDA certified, is the source really an issue?
Question:	be aware that although this isn't grain free it may be associated with Canine Dilated Cardiomyopathy due to it's pea content,anyone know the % of peas
Answer:	Hello- As of today, the nature of a possible connection between diet and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs has not been determined. What we do know is that all our protein-rich recipes diets are formulated to be complete and balanced and meet or exceed the nutritional guidelines set by AAFCO. At Castor & Pollux, we carefully select every high-quality ingredient to ensure every recipe delivers the nutrients dogs need to thrive. We use peas in this recipe because they are an excellent source of carbohydrates, protein, fiber and phytonutrients.

User questions & answers

Question:	I know this is manufactured in the u.s. but are any of the ingredients sourced from china? read that many premixes added to dog food come from china
Answer:	My dog can also back out of harnesses. He does not with this one because it has 2 snap hooks. One at the front and one at the back of the ribs. I recommend this harness.
Question:	How much is the daily portion for a senior dog of a 8 pounds
Answer:	This is the 4th harness i have gotten for my dog each 1 she has gotten out of. Ive had this harness almost 3 weeks now and she jas yet to get out of it. The design goes behind front legs across chest and around the stomach so unless ur dogs stomach is the same size as the chest i dont see how it would be able to back out of it.
Question:	What is considered a small dog? Mine is 16 pounds
Answer:	I too have a Great Pyrenees and the xxl works perfectly for him! This is my favorite harness by far.
Question:	How big are the chunks in the small breed puppy food? i have a 9 week chi and i want to switch him to a higher quality food asap
