Whole Paws Adult Dog Food, Chicken & Quinoa Recipe
The Whole Paws Chicken & Quinoa Recipe is the cornerstone of the entire dry dog food range — a thoughtfully balanced formula built around organic chicken as the first ingredient and ancient grain quinoa as the wholesome carbohydrate base. Quinoa brings genuine nutritional value over typical filler grains: complete plant protein, plus fiber that supports healthy digestion in dogs of every breed size. The recipe rounds out with oats and sorghum for sustained energy, dried egg product for additional protein, flaxseed for omega-3 fatty acid support, and a thoughtful inclusion of pumpkin, spinach, dried carrots, and dried cranberries that brings real fruit and vegetable nutrition into every bowl.
Whole Paws Beef & Lentil Recipe Adult Dog Food
he Whole Paws Beef & Lentil Recipe is consistently the top-rated dry recipe across the entire Whole Paws lineup — and for good reason. Real beef is the number-one ingredient, providing the complete animal protein that dogs are evolutionarily built to thrive on, while lentils add essential plant-based fiber that supports digestive regularity and a healthy gut microbiome. Lentils are an increasingly popular alternative to traditional grain fillers, offering a higher protein-to-carb ratio and a slow-release energy curve that helps avoid the post-meal spikes some dogs experience with corn or wheat-heavy formulas. The Whole Foods Market sourcing standard prohibits over 100 commonly used additives — including artificial colors, artificial flavors, and certain preservatives — so what’s in the bag is genuinely what the label claims.
Whole Paws Salmon & Sweet Potato Dry Dog Food
For dogs with grain sensitivities, food allergies, or owners who simply prefer to avoid grains entirely, the Whole Paws Salmon & Sweet Potato Dry Dog Food is one of the most thoughtfully formulated grain-free options on Amazon. Salmon — a naturally hypoallergenic protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA — is the first ingredient, supporting healthy skin, a glossy coat, joint health, and reduced inflammation. The omega-3 content is especially noticeable in dogs with chronic itchiness, dry skin, or allergic reactions to common protein sources like chicken or beef. Sweet potato replaces traditional grains as the carbohydrate base, providing slow-release energy, fiber for digestive support, and a gentle-on-stomachs alternative for sensitive dogs. The complete recipe includes potato, peas, chickpeas.
Whole Paws Lamb Dinner Wet Dog Food Tubs
The Whole Paws Lamb Dinner wet food tubs are the brand’s most owner-praised convenience product — and a genuine hit among dog owners with picky eaters who refuse most standard kibbles. Each tub is single-serving sized, eliminating the messy can-opening and partial-can refrigeration issues that come with traditional wet dog food formats. The lamb dinner formula features real lamb as the primary protein source — particularly valuable for dogs who have developed sensitivities to chicken or beef, since lamb is a less commonly used novel protein that allergic dogs often tolerate exceptionally well. The recipe is grain-free, contains zero meat by-products, and avoids the artificial flavors and colors that drive many wet dog foods’ palatability. Owners consistently report that even the pickiest dogs — including West Highland Terriers, Yorkies, and small senior dogs who have stopped eating standard food — accept the lamb tubs immediately.
Whole Paws Turkey & Brown Rice Adult Dog Food
For dogs with sensitive stomachs, mild digestive issues, or those transitioning from a less premium food, the Whole Paws Turkey & Brown Rice Adult Dog Food is the gentlest, most easily digested formula in the entire range. Turkey is naturally lean, mild in flavor, and one of the easiest proteins for dogs to digest — making it an ideal first ingredient for dogs with histories of upset stomach, occasional vomiting, or loose stools on heavier protein recipes. Brown rice serves as the carbohydrate base — gentler on canine digestion than corn or wheat, while still providing the steady energy release dogs need throughout the day. The complete recipe rounds out with the same Whole Paws standard inclusions: flaxseed for omega-3 support, dried beet pulp for fiber, pumpkin, spinach, dried carrots, and dried cranberries for natural micronutrients. Live probiotics (Enterococcus Faecium and Lactobacillus Acidophilus) support gut health and digestive regularity. Mixed tocopherols replace artificial preservatives. AAFCO-approved for adult maintenance feeding. Particularly recommended for senior dogs whose digestive systems are slowing down, dogs recovering from illness.
Whole Paws Puppy Recipe Dry Dog Food
The Whole Paws Puppy Recipe is purpose-formulated for the unique nutritional demands of growing dogs from weaning through their first year — a developmental window where what your puppy eats genuinely shapes the structure of their adult body. The recipe leads with high-quality animal protein at puppy-appropriate levels — higher than adult formulas to fuel rapid muscle growth and lean body development. DHA from natural sources supports brain and cognitive development during the critical first months of training and socialization, while balanced calcium and phosphorus levels promote healthy bone and joint formation without the over-loading that can lead to skeletal issues in fast-growing large breed puppies. The kibble size is specifically calibrated for smaller puppy mouths, easier to chew during teething phases. The complete recipe avoids all 100+ ingredients prohibited across the Whole Paws range — meaning no artificial colors that could trigger sensitivities, no artificial preservatives, and no questionable meat by-products.
Our Company History
Whole Paws is the natural extension of one of America’s most respected food brands into the world of pet nutrition. The story of Whole Paws is really the story of Whole Foods Market — a company that built a global reputation on a simple idea: food matters, what’s in it matters, and consumers deserve to know what they’re really getting. That same idea drives every Whole Paws recipe.
Whole Foods Market opens its first store in Austin, Texas — pioneering the natural and organic grocery category with a strict ingredient quality standard that bans artificial preservatives, hydrogenated fats, and high-fructose corn syrup from its shelves. The “no-go” ingredient list becomes the foundation of the brand’s identity.
Whole Foods extends its quality standards into the pet food category with the launch of Whole Paws — applying the same banned ingredient list and natural sourcing standards to pet food. The launch range includes dry kibble for adult dogs and wet food options for cats and dogs.
Whole Paws now spans dry kibble, wet tubs, training treats, and recipes for every life stage from puppy through senior. The brand maintains its founding standard: real ingredients, transparent labels, no artificial anything, and AAFCO-approved complete nutrition. Available exclusively at Whole Foods Market and on Amazon.
FAQs
Yes — every Whole Paws dog food recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles. The Adult formulas are AAFCO-approved for adult maintenance, while the Puppy Recipe meets the standards for growth and development. Always check the specific product page for the AAFCO statement that matches your dog’s life stage.
Always transition gradually over 7–10 days to avoid digestive upset. Start with 25% Whole Paws mixed with 75% of your dog’s current food for 2–3 days, then move to 50/50, then 75% Whole Paws, and finally 100% by day 10. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, extend the transition to 14 days and watch for any signs of digestive issues.
Yes — the Salmon & Sweet Potato dry recipe and the Lamb Dinner wet tubs are both grain-free, ideal for dogs with grain sensitivities or known allergies to corn, wheat, or soy. Other recipes include whole grains like quinoa, oats, and brown rice that provide digestive benefits for dogs without grain sensitivities. Always consult your veterinarian before switching to a grain-free diet.
Each Whole Paws bag includes a feeding guide based on your dog’s adult weight. As a general rule, an adult dog should eat 2–3% of their body weight in food per day, split across two meals. Puppies require more — typically 4–6% of body weight, fed across 3 meals. Check the specific bag for the exact feeding chart, and always adjust based on your dog’s activity level and body condition.

Finally a food my Labrador will eat consistently without getting bored. The ingredients are exactly what I’d expect from Whole Foods — no fillers, real chicken first. His coat has noticeably improved since we switched.
Megan W
My picky Westie wouldn’t touch most kibbles. He loves the lamb tubs! The convenience is unbeatable and the ingredients are clean. We’re sticking with this for the long haul. Bonus — no smell when I open them.
David L.
Switched my Bulldog from a chicken-based food due to allergies and the salmon & sweet potato grain-free has been a game-changer. The itching has stopped completely and his energy is great. Worth every dollar.
