Wisdom^® Air-Dried From the Air Recipe Dog Food

Gently Air-Dried. Deeply nourishing. Less heat. More life. Air-drying is a slow, gentle process that removes moisture while protecting the nutrients food naturally holds—no high heat, no shortcuts. Why it matters: • Nutrients remain intact and easier to absorb

• Gentler on digestion than heavily processed foods
• Creates a nutrient-dense food, you feed less per meal
• Preserves real, usable nutrition

Air-dried at Riverstone, our SQF-certified kitchen in Maryland, where we control the quality from start to finish. Unlike kibble made through high-heat extrusion, air-dried food preserves more of the natural nutrition.

The result is shelf-stable food with many benefits of fresh feeding, minus the refrigeration and hassle. Just open the bag and serve.

Most kibble is made through extrusion, a high-heat, high-pressure process designed for efficiency and scale. Air-drying takes a different approach. At Riverstone, our gentle air-drying process slowly removes moisture using low temperatures and controlled airflow. This creates a shelf-stable food while helping protect the natural structure and nutritional value of real ingredients. This is how we deliver exceptional nutrition. Nutrient Integrity: By avoiding high heat, more of what matters stays intact, proteins, vitamins, and naturally occurring nutrients. Digestive Support: Gently processed ingredients can be easier for the body to break down and utilize, supporting digestion and nutrient absorption. Concentrated Nutrition: With moisture removed, every bite delivers more nutrition. You feed less per meal, and a bag goes further than expected. No High-Heat Shortcuts: Air-drying takes time, precision, and control, done in our own Riverstone Kitchen, where every batch is crafted with intention. Our food made differently, with a process designed to protect, not compromise. That’s exceptional nutrition.

Yes! Wisdom is complete and balanced for All Life Stages. Formulated by Dr. Bob Goldstein, every recipe is designed to meet AAFCO standards, supporting dogs from puppyhood through their senior years. But completeness is just the baseline. What makes Wisdom different is the quality of that nutrition. We use thoughtfully sourced proteins, including nutrient-dense organs, paired with whole food ingredients to deliver naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients in forms the body can recognize and use. That’s what allows Wisdom to nourish dogs across every life stage, not by adding more fillers, but by starting with better inputs. And while Wisdom can absolutely be fed as a sole diet, we believe in something more: variety. Rotational feeding matters. Different proteins. Different nutrients. Different benefits. Rotation helps: – Support a more diverse and resilient microbiome – Reduce ingredient fatigue and sensitivities – Better reflect how animals are meant to eat over time Wisdom was designed for this. Our recipes work beautifully on their own, or as part of a rotational approach, Because real nutrition should evolve and your dog's diet should too. And your dog’s diet shouldn’t be either. That’s the difference between meeting a standard, and raising it.

Because Wisdom is truly nutrient-dense, every bite delivers more of what your dog actually needs, and less of what they don’t. We gently remove moisture through our air-drying process, not nutrients. What remains is concentrated, high-quality nutrition from real muscle meat and organs, naturally rich in essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and healthy fats. This means your dog’s body gets more usable nourishment per serving. So you feed less, but your dog gets more. More nourishment. More satisfaction. More from every bowl. Because the body isn’t just full, it’s fulfilled. What that means for feeding: Start with the guidelines on the bag based on your dog’s weight, then adjust based on activity level, age, and body condition. A few things to keep in mind:

• Portions will look smaller than kibble, that’s the point
• Active dogs may need more; less active dogs may need less
• Puppies and nursing mothers have increased nutritional needs (see packaging)

When in doubt, your veterinarian can help tailor feeding to your dog’s specific need

Slow is kind. Thoughtful is better. When you’re introducing real, whole-food nutrition, give your dog’s system the time it needs to adjust. A gradual transition helps the gut adapt, and sets the foundation for long-term success. A simple 7–10 day path: Days 1–3

Days 4–6

Follow your dog’s lead Every dog is different. Some move through quickly. Others, especially those with more sensitive systems, may need a little more time (up to 2 weeks or more). If you notice loose stool, that’s your signal to slow down, not stop. Stay at the current step a bit longer before moving forward. What to expect As your dog transitions to Wisdom, many pet parents notice:

• Smaller, firmer stools
• More consistent energy
• Increased enthusiasm at mealtime

Because when the body recognizes real food, it responds. One bowl at a time. One step at a time. That’s how lasting change happens.

Wisdom is crafted in the USA at Riverstone, our own SQF-certified facility in Maryland. We didn’t partner with a co-packer. We built our own. Riverstone was designed from the ground up to make food differently, under Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification, a globally recognized standard for food safety, quality, and traceability, benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative. This isn’t just a certification. It’s a commitment to accountability at every level. Because we own the facility, we oversee everything: – Ingredient sourcing and verification – Full lot traceability from ingredient to final bag – Rigorous quality and safety testing before any product is released Every batch is made with intention, and nothing leaves Riverstone until it meets our standards. At the center of it all is our gentle air-drying process, a slower, lower-temperature method that helps preserve nutrients, protect protein integrity, and maintain the natural flavor of real food. It’s not built on shortcuts or high-heat processing. We own the process. We stand behind every batch. We can tell you exactly where your dog’s food comes from, and how it was made. That’s Riverstone. That’s Wisdom.

This is it. This is everything. The foundation for health starts here. Dr. Bob Goldstein, holistic veterinarian, founder, and lifelong advocate for animal wellness, has spent over 45 years coming back to one truth: Health begins in the gut. Not as a trend. As biology. Because the gut does more than digest food. It shapes the immune system. It fuels energy. It determines how nutrients are absorbed, and how the body responds.

• Nearly 70% of the immune system lives in the gut
• When digestion works, everything works better, energy, coat, mood, resilience
• When it doesn’t, the whole animal feels it

So we built Wisdom differently. Not around trends. Around function. Our process protects what matters. Gentle air-drying preserves nutrients, without the damage of high heat. Our ingredients work with the body. Real muscle meat. Nutrient-rich organs. Whole foods the body recognizes and knows how to use. Our recipes support balance. Quinoa and oats provide gentle, functional fiber, helping maintain healthy digestion and a thriving microbiome. And we leave out what doesn’t belong. No artificial additives. Nothing that disrupts what the body is trying to do naturally. This is gut-first nutrition. Not a feature. A philosophy. Because when you nourish the gut, you nourish the whole animal.

Named for where it begins. Held to how it’s raised. “From the…” tells you exactly what matters: the origin of the primary protein, and the standards behind it. Land. Sea. Air. Seed. Soil. From open land. From clean waters. From the air, the soil, and the seed. Each recipe traces back to its origin—where quality, welfare, and sustainability begin.

• From the Land — grass-fed, pasture-raised red meats
• From the Sea — wild-caught fish, naturally rich in omegas
• From the Air — humanely raised, novel poultry for sensitive dogs
• From the Seed — plant-forward proteins, complete and balanced
• From the Soil — insect protein, raised with minimal impact We also offer simply sourced Chicken and Turkey recipes, GAP-rated poultry for those who do best with one trusted protein.
