Food Brand Recommendations

Food Brands that we Recommend 

Bobzilla recommends feeding your dog food that most closely resembles food they would eat in the wild.  They have 42 teeth intended to cut meat and bone, just like wolves.  They are genetically designed to survive and eat prey, not donuts, pizza or anything else highly processed, like kibble.

A raw food diet mimics an ancestral eating pattern, which is based on the dogs’ instinctive  and built-in desire to capture or find and eat another animal, meat, bones, organs and all (Source: DogFoodAdvisor).  Notice, this type of diet is high in protein, fat and low in carbohydrates, which will optimize health.  Conversely, the nutrient profile of kibble is just the opposite: high in carbs, and lower in protein and fat.  Here is a comparison:

Kibble is convenient, but that convenience comes at the expense of your dog's health.  Click here to learn more on why that is.  Unfortunately, most kibble is extremely high in Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), contains refined seed oils, glyphosate, fillers, preservatives and high carbohydrate counts, which collectively create major inflammation and disease long-term.  

Conversely, raw food, while generally not as convenient and often significantly more expensive, provides many health benefits for dogs including improved digestion, healthier skin and coat, healthier skin and coat, reduced allergy symptoms increased energy levels, stronger bones and teeth, weight management, reduced risk of obesity, diabetes and cancer, stronger immune function and improved emotional well-being (read more here).
