■ POCHI × RETRIEVER 'Food Creation Project to Make Retrievers Happy' The Path So Far
The 'Food Creation Project to Make Retrievers Happy' started from a reader survey conducted by 'RETRIEVER' in November 2024. Teaming up, 'RETRIEVER' and POCHI read through the reader survey results, and further directly listened to owners' questions and worries about food during roundtable discussions with readers, exploring the ideal dog food desired by retriever owners.
In October 2025, 'POCHI Medium Large Breed 3 Types of Poultry' was completed as a food packed with such ideals: 'Protecting the stomach and joints, maintaining health, being eaten joyfully by food-loving retrievers, and making mealtime a fulfilling communication time between retrievers and their families.'
The newly released 'POCHI Medium Large Breed Wild Salmon' maintains the specs that comprehensively support the health of weight, joints, stomach, and skin, but mainly uses raw salmon meat. It is a comprehensive nutritional food recommended for fish-loving dogs or those with allergies to chicken and others.

■ Features of 'POCHI Medium Large Breed Wild Salmon'
'POCHI Medium Large Breed Wild Salmon' is a comprehensive nutritional food for medium and large dogs. While prioritizing palatability by using fresh salmon (raw meat), it features a luxurious blend of nutritional ingredients devised by the POCHI veterinarian team to address common concerns of medium and large dogs, including retrievers. The main points are as follows.
(1) High Protein, Low Fat, Low Calorie
Retrievers, which are among the most commonly kept large dog breeds, tend to gain weight easily and have weak joints, making weight control extremely important.

The POCHI product development team, consisting of veterinarians, considered the ideal nutritional balance and finalized the following specs.
Protein: 31%
Fat: 10%
Calories: 313kcal/100g
This formulation achieves high protein, low fat, and low calories, and is designed to balance healthy weight management and joint care.
