At Canid Roots, our mission is simple. We believe dogs deserve to live longer, happier, and healthier lives.

For many of you, finding the right food for your pup has been a journey filled with frustration. Allergies, itchy skin, digestive sensitivities, and flare-ups seem to happen no matter how careful you are. We hear you. And we’ve been working on a solution.

We are proud to introduce our latest recipe: Canid Roots Pork, Care, and Carrots!

This is more than just a new addition to our menu. It is a thoughtfully developed, scientifically grounded formula designed to bring relief and nourishment to dogs who need it most.

The Science: Why Pork Works for Sensitive Dogs

Let’s go a little deeper into why this matters.

In both Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) and modern nutritional science, proteins are not just sources of energy. They have energetic properties that affect the body's internal balance. Proteins like chicken, turkey, and lamb are considered “hot” proteins.

These hot proteins increase metabolic heat within the body, which can contribute to inflammatory responses. For dogs that are already prone to food sensitivities, allergies, and skin irritation, feeding hot proteins may worsen symptoms.

Inflammation is a complex biological response where the immune system reacts to perceived threats. Hot proteins can stimulate this reaction, leading to:

Red, itchy skin

Hot spots and rashes

Digestive discomfort

Heightened allergic responses

On the other hand, pork is classified as a neutral-to-cooling protein. Cooling proteins help moderate internal heat, providing balance and calm to the body’s systems. This cooling effect is beneficial for dogs experiencing inflammation, making pork a fantastic choice for pups with itchy skin, hot spots, digestive sensitivities, and chronic allergies.

What makes pork even more effective is its nutrient profile. Pork is rich in highly bioavailable amino acids, zinc, B vitamins, and selenium, all of which play essential roles in skin health, immune function, and energy production.

How Our Pork Recipe Helps

We did not stop at choosing the right protein. We built a complete recipe designed to nourish and restore balance.

Our Canid Roots Pork Recipe includes:

Premium pork as the primary protein source, delivering cooling energy and muscle-supporting amino acids

Nutrient-dense pork liver and kidney, providing natural vitamins and minerals essential for detoxification and immune health

Fresh carrots, a source of beta-carotene and dietary fiber to support digestion and skin health

Duck neck, a highly valuable ingredient providing natural calcium and phosphorus from bone, glucosamine and chondroitin from cartilage for joint health, and a lean protein source that supports strong muscles and dental health through natural chewing action. Duck is also considered a cooling protein, making it an excellent companion to pork in maintaining internal balance for sensitive dogs

Human-grade, minimally processed ingredients for maximum nutrition and digestibility

The result is a wholesome, carefully balanced meal that supports:

Reduced inflammation
Calmer, healthier skin
Smooth and comfortable digestion
Joint health and mobility
Natural dental benefits
Hydration and overall vitality

We believe food should be part of the solution, not part of the problem. This recipe reflects that philosophy.
