Superfoods and Treats that help your dog Thrive, not just Survive

Tragic Misconceptions of Often Used Ingredients

Salmon / Salmon Oil

95% of salmon and salmon oil found in dog food is farmed, which means it's loaded with antibiotics and hormones and swimming in very dirty conditions. As if that weren't enough, the meat and oil are more often than not 'animal grade': the parts of the salmon humans throw away.

Flax Seed

When flax seed is ground into a powder, the flax oil in the seed, which is highly unstable, is exposed to the air, and is quickly oxidized, rendering it toxic. Flax oil must never be cooked. Animals and people should only eat whole, or freshly ground and uncooked flax seed.

Canola / Corn / Soy Oil

Whether in food or oil form, these 3 are genetically modified 95% of the time. GMO foods are linked to gut microbiome dysbiosis, allergies, and inflammation and should not be eaten.

Dog's Supplements

Most supplements are made with synthetic vitamins which are poorly absorbed and tax the kidneys. NOTHING is better absorbed than superfoods. They are rich in vitamins/minerals, are easily broken down and are food as medicine.

Garlic

Years ago big-food did a study on garlic toxicity on dogs. They fed large amounts of garlic to dogs and of course, it was toxic. Because everything is toxic in the wrong amount. Garlic is as much a panacea for you as it is for your dog. It also keeps infection, fleas, ticks and parasites at bay. Just don't consume a whole bulb every day.

Chicken

Today's chicken is pumped full of hormones so they can reach enough weight and be slaughtered around 7 weeks of age. For a chicken to gain so much weight that fast, they have lights on 24 hrs a day so it eats nonstop and doesn't sleep. They give them antibiotics because this environment causes disease. Unless you know who grows your chicken, it's best to stay away from it. Pasture raised and/or organic is a little better, but not by much.

Dry Kibble

Stop the kibble! It stresses your dog's organs, it's highly inflammatory and it's hard to digest which packs on the weight. 99% of dry dog food is extruded: a process that cooks and shapes ingredients at very high heat and pressure, forcing it through a die to form the kibble shape. This makes the food shelf stable but this process causes cancer and denatures fats and nutrients, forcing them to add synthetic vitamins to compensate for the loss,

More often than not, what you save on dog food, you will spend 100 fold in vet bills.

Would you feed your children exclusively cereal out of a box their whole lives and expect them to live long healthy lives? No. It's no wonder dogs life-spans have shortened 50% on average in America. You are what you eat. You decide to invest in your dog or in your vet, that simple.

Prescription/Sensitive Stomach Kibble

Some dogs, like humans, suffer from occasional upset stomachs. Similarly, they must eat a special/bland diet until the digestive tract finds balance. Digestive enzymes, probiotics, and certain herbs help greatly in this instance. Feeding your dog prescription kibble for months or years after a bout of the runs, is a recipe for disaster. Read the ingredients on the back of the bag to realize how difficult to digest these foods are, hence their binding power. Your dog and your wallet will pay dearly for keeping him on a prescription diet that should not be given long term. A true holistic vet will never keep a dog on a prescription/sensitive stomach kibble.

Organ Meats

In the wild, the pack leader eats first and it's always the belly. The organs are packed with nutrients like nothing else. Chinese Medicine maintains that an organ strengthens its own: Liver, heart, spleen and kidneys strengthen those same organs in your dog.

Liver

It is very important to have a clean source of liver, pasture raised and finished.

The liver does not store toxins. It processes them and prepares them for elimination from the body. While toxins enter the liver, it converts them into substances that can be safely removed. The misconception that the liver store toxins is likely because of its role in detoxification. It is a miracle organ that detoxifies harmful substances but does not hold onto them.

Liver is packed with essential nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, K, B12, iron and copper, which are vital for the body's detoxification process. Nutritionally speaking, it is the king of the organs.

Kidney

The kidneys do not store toxins. Their primary function is to filter them out of the blood.

Toxins can accumulate in the kidneys when they are damaged and not working properly. This is why it is vital to source them from a clean source where they have been pasture raised and finished.

Adding some kidney to the diet is vital to strengthen your dog's kidneys and give them their best chance at a long, happy life.

Same Kibble / No Rotation

Feeding your dog the same kibble year after year is a great way of weakening your dog's health and laying the ground for allergies and poor immunity to set in. Dogs stomachs are best when they are strong and resilient, especially because we have no control over what he's going to pick up off the ground while on a walk or in the backyard. The best way to do this is to feed him balanced home cooked meals, like our Power Bowls, Truffles and/or Granola, and to vary ingredients sporadically. Variety breeds strength and resilience.
