Spot’s Stew FAQs

Q: What’s the fat content of one can of your Spot’s Stew?

A: Fat content in Spot’s Stew for Dogs is 1.5%. As a reminder, Spot’s Stew for Dogs is the healthiest food on the planet for ANY dog. It is perfectly balanced for your dog’s optimal health and helps maintain your pet’s weight. We would also recommend examining other sources of food and treats you are using — you want to eliminate excess grains from the diet.

Q: What’s the sodium content of Spot’s Stew?

A: Sodium content in the Spot’s Stew canned for Dogs is considerably less than 1/2 of 1% — it’s quite low and perfectly healthy. There is never an issue with any nutrient in Spot’s Stew — it will always be the healthiest food for any pet.

Q: What is the shelf life of the natural pet care products you make?

A: The natural pet food supplements and vitamins are all packaged in amber bottles to help preserve the life of the products. Unopened, they have a two to three year shelf life, but we recommend refrigeration after opening. If they’re being used as recommended though, they should all be consumed within a few months. They can’t work for your pet unless you stay consistent and actually use them.

Spot’s Stew cans have a “best used by” date, but if stored in a moderately temperate area, it should last for about ten years. Canning is its own natural preservative.

The Liv-A-Littles have varied shelf lives and this gets a little confusing. The Chicken and Beef sealed are good for 3 years, and opened 3 months. The fish varieties, Cod and Salmon, are 1 year sealed and 1 month open.

Q: Is it okay for a small dog if he accidentally eats the “cat version” of the stew?

A: It is perfectly fine for a dog to eat the cat varieties of Spot’s Stew. In fact, we recommend our Spot’s Stew canned for cats varieties for dogs who have diabetes and other issues where they need to stay away from grains.

Q: How can I get my cat to switch to your healthy food?

A: So many cats are just “Creatures of Habit” and they like what you gave them yesterday. 70% of the cats really love Spot’s Stew on day one. 30% need a little assistance. The good news is that there has never been a single case of a cat starving itself to death, when food was present. You may have to be strong and “put your paw down” if you want to make the change to the healthiest food in the world, but it will definitely be worth it. Remember that Spot’s Stew has no flavor enhancers, like salt or sugar (which is found in most every other product). In addition, your cats might not be all that familiar with chunky meats and healthy vegetables. Once they make the switch, though, you’ll see better coats, dispositions, as well as maintenance of your pet's vitality and its digestive system.

Q: My cat doesn’t seem to ever drink any water since he’s switched to Spot’s Stew. Is that a problem?

A: Many people do notice a decrease in the amount of water intake with their pets after making the change to Spot’s Stew canned. The reason for this is that they are getting the hydration they need from the food itself. When a pet is on a food that does not have much moisture, they need to drink quite a bit more to try to keep their bodies hydrated. Unfortunately, they don’t always drink as much as they need which can lead to dry skin, dull coats, and excessive shedding among other issues.

Q: I was wondering how long Spot’s Stew lasts once opened and in the fridge?

A: Generally, about 3-4 days is fine in the fridge. You will normally go through the cans in about that time.
