Nutrition

Please use common sense when feeding your dog and seek the advice of your veterinarian – be sure to choose a veterinarian who supports your decision to feed a species appropriate diet. Some veterinarians only had one or two nutrition classes in school and it was sponsored by one of the big kibble companies. Do not rely on them to teach you about natural rearing and raw feeding but instead find one who respects your decision to feed appropriately

Keep meals SIMPLE! Don’t overthink this!

A raw food diet is not right for every dog. If you choose to feed raw, take the time to learn to do it correctly.
