Love Them for the Long Run

Our recipes are built around fiber-rich plants, lean protein and omega-3s. These are the building blocks of the low-inflammation diets linked to healthy aging in people. Early research shows dogs experience age-related inflammation, called inflammaging, too, and keeping a dog lean is the best-proven way to lower it. 

Healthy weight also matters for lifespan. In a study that followed 48 Labrador retrievers for their whole lives, dogs fed to stay lean lived nearly two years longer than their littermates. Fiber helps dogs feel full, which makes a healthy weight easier to keep. Our recipes are also made without rendered meat meals and are lower in phosphorus than many meat-based foods.

Many pet parents report significant improvement in allergy symptoms after switching to Petaluma. Our plant-based formulas are ideal for dogs with meat protein allergies or sensitivities. Unlike hydrolyzed diets, Petaluma is designed for long-term, everyday feeding while providing therapeutic benefits for skin inflammation and itching.

No—by design. All Life Stages formulas are built to work for puppies too, which means nutrient levels that can be excessive for adult dogs. Our recipes use the Adult Maintenance profile, optimized for dogs 1+ years. Our senior formula adds joint and digestive support within that same standard. All formulas meet AAFCO standards and are developed by experts in veterinary nutrition.

Many pet parents report noticeable improvements within 2–4 weeks, particularly in coat quality, energy levels, and digestive regularity. For allergy-related symptoms like skin inflammation or itching, improvements are often seen within 4–12 weeks. Individual results may vary based on your dog's specific condition.
