OUR PHILOSOPHY: DOGS AND CATS ARE BUILT LIKE THEIR ANCESTORS. THEY SHOULD EAT LIKE THEM TOO.
Evolved as hunters, the physical structure of their teeth, jaws and digestive system scientifically classify dogs and cats as carnivores; evolved over thousands of years to operate on an almost exclusively natural raw food diet.
We select foods that mirror the richness, freshness and varieties of meats that dogs and cats would naturally hunt in the wild and for which they are evolved to eat. We recommend foods that feature exceptionally high quality of fresh whole meats, vegetables, nourishing liver, tripe, cartilage and marrow in ratios that resemble their natural diets.
NOT ALL INGREDIENTS ARE EQUAL.
Ingredients are vehicles for nutrients. All animals big or small have daily nutrient requirements. They need protein, fat, carbohydrates/fibre, vitamins and minerals and water, in specific amounts. The best products will be formulated with highly digestible ingredients that provide the highest quality of these nutrients in an extremely palatable format. In other words, the quality of a food does not start OR end at the face value of the ingredient deck. It takes science, research, innovation, expertise, and clinical trials to provide optimal nutrition.
It’s all about nutrients! We recommend eating a variety of foods to ensure each pet meets their daily nutrient requirements. Pet food formulators use a combination of ingredients, each providing a specific set of nutrients to complete the total nutritional profile of the food. By consuming a formula that is complete and balanced, dogs and cats can meet their nutrient requirements.
Cat Nutrition
Cat nutrition is closely connected to overall wellness, and a cat's diet can even help improve a variety of issues including common allergies, hyperparathyroidism, and food intolerances. Obesity is also a growing issue and overweight cats are at risk for a whole multitude of problems such as arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, breathing problems, renal disease, heart disease, and a life expectancy lessened by as much as 20%. Kitties are obligate carnivores which means that the best diet for cats is one high in protein and low in carbohydrates. No matter if your cat is dealing with a weight problem or requires a unique diet in conjunction with healthcare maintenance and treatment, our staff will counsel you on the various nutritional options that are available to cat parents. Don't be reluctant to get in touch with us if you have any questions about finding the purrrrrrfect cat diet.
Giant Breed Animal Nutrition
Large breeds such as Mastiffs and Great Danes have unique nutritional requirements. Large dog breeds necessitate well-defined amounts of essential nutrients to fulfill their growth requirements. Large breed puppies need a food produced to ensure proper bone and muscle development and the right amount of energy so they can develop to their optimal growth potential without developmental concerns.
Nutrition for Pregnant/ Nursing Dogs
First-rate nutrition sets the stage for a thriving breeding and pregnancy. Maintaining nutrition and bodyweight before, during the course of, and after pregnancy is essential to the wellness of the momma dog and her young pups. Malnourishment caused by inadequate nutrient consumption can lead to miscarriages or health problems. While lactating, energy needs increase and are directly proportional to milk generation, which subsequently is directly corresponding to the number of nursing pups.
Nutrition for Working Dogs
Stage show and working dogs have special dietary needs. Generally, working dogs are larger breeds such as an Akita, a Mastiff, or a Newfoundland that are specifically bred to perform tasks like sledding or herding. To perform their best, these dogs need a high-performance pet food that helps keep them working at top productivity. Depending on the amount of work, working dogs may require 1.5 to 2.5 times the volume of food as a sedentary pet, and if the dogs are doing work in high conditions, the volume of food needed increases even more.
Puppy and Kitten Animal Nutrition
Puppies and kittens necessitate suitable nutrients and calories in order to help them grow. That being said, the very same strategy that works for a smaller breed puppy, such as a Maltese, would not be ideal for a large breed, such as a Rottweiler.
Senior Pet Nutrition
When a cherished animal gets older, their eating habits and dietary requirements can adjust too. As a general guideline, animals are regarded as elderly when they've arrived at one-half of their expectation of life. If a senior animals' exercise and metabolic levels decline, it may be time to decrease their caloric consumption to help prevent obesity as the extra weight is just as unhealthy for animals as it is for people.
