Not anymore! While Kinetic built its reputation with LEO and military K9s, they now offer formulas for every dog from puppies to family companions to elite athletes.

Consider your dog's activity level and energy needs. Core works for most family dogs, Active for dogs with regular exercise, and higher formulas for working or highly athletic dogs. The infographic in the “Find your Dog’s Formula” section in this page will help guide you to the best formula for your dog.

Both Core and Vital were designed for trainers by trainers. These formulas have a larger kibble size (a bit bigger than quarter) that is used for both training and feeding. You’ll find that these formulas come with our Double Duty badge on the bag. Typically companion trainers lean into Core as it is less calorie dense, but if you are a very active trainer with more energy needs Vital works well.

Higher animal protein percentages (82-88% vs industry average of 60%), superior digestibility (85% vs 60%), no filler ingredients, and purpose-engineered formulas for specific activity levels.

We don't carry inventory, but we provide direct links to make purchasing easy through Kinetic's store and authorized vendors.

We recommend purchasing from Chewy.com or Walmart.com. Using digital retailers enables us to have the shortest supply chain to provide the freshest food possible.

Both Core and Active could be an option. The key is to assess their true activity level. If you are doing more than everyday walks and playing with the family, start with Active as it is a great option for active companions. The good news is the ingredients provided between Active and Core are consistent so if your dog is gaining too much weight you can switch down to Core with no digestive upset.

Chicken allergies can be tricky. In many cases, dogs aren’t actually reacting to the chicken itself but to fillers or additives commonly used in other foods. When dogs transition to our formulas, those issues often disappear, even if the food contains chicken. If you’re unsure whether to try a chicken-based formula, we’re happy to recommend the best option based on your dog’s activity level.

Yes. The Puppy formula is actually a great option for many senior dogs. It contains elevated omega fatty acids that support joint health and help reduce inflammation. The kibble is also smaller, making it easier for older dogs to chew and digest.

We sought out a dog food company that matches our standards for performance and quality. Kinetic's proven track record with working dogs and commitment to transparent, science-based nutrition made them the clear choice.
