About the Product

When refrigerated, the soup may sometimes become jelly-like.
This is a natural result of collagen released from the venison, bones, and cartilage.

When gently warmed to about body temperature, it will return to a liquid state.

You may also notice small white pieces in the soup.
These are natural fats from the venison.

Venison fat contains a high amount of saturated fatty acids,
giving it a higher melting point and making it resistant to oxidation.
For this reason, it may appear white and solidify when the temperature is low.

This is a natural characteristic of venison and does not affect the quality.

Ishca products are made with seasonal, pesticide-free vegetables from Japan.
Because of this, the appearance may vary slightly from the product photos depending on the season.

We hope you enjoy the natural flavors of the ingredients.

Storage Instructions

[Premium Line]
Store in the refrigerator (below 4°C) at all times,
and please feed your dog as soon as possible after opening.

[Basic Line]
Store in a cool, dry place, avoiding direct sunlight and high humidity.
Once opened, keep refrigerated.

Ishca’s dog food contains no preservatives.
The speed at which the food may spoil can vary depending on the season.
Please check the product’s condition and your dog’s health regularly.

While it’s fine to freeze the food at home,
please note that vegetables may release water during freezing,
which could affect the texture upon thawing.

How to Transition

Mix Ishca with your dog’s current food
over 7–10 days for a smooth transition.

How to Feed and Recommended Amount

Warm to body temperature and serve with the soup.

If your dog doesn’t like the dry food to soften,
you can serve them separately and find the feeding method
that works best for your dog.

Your dog’s needs depend on their
weight, activity, and current dry food calories.

To help, we’ve prepared a calculation sheet.

By entering the details in the sheet below,
you’ll be able to find out the calories
and amount of food your dog needs.

The sheet will also help you determine
the daily water intake your dog requires.
We hope you find it helpful!
