    Raw Fish (Kibble and Raw Fed Dogs)

    Fish can be fed to both kibble and raw fed dogs. These fish listed are some of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids and are the cleanest to feed because: 1️⃣ These fish are small and less likely to have mercury contamination and other toxins compared to larger fish. 2️⃣ They aren’t large bottom feeders, meaning they don’t eat a lot of junk from the floor of the ocean. Examples of fish to avoid are flounder, eels, haddock, bass, grouper, snapper, and some catfish. Benefits

    Improve Kibble by Adding:

    For those that aren’t able to fully feed raw, this is another way to improve your dog’s kibble: add smelt or sardines! 🐟 These fish provide omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients to your dogs kibble, which they desperately need! Your dogs dry food is depleted of omega-3’s during the high-temperature cooking process. What’s left, is an overabundance of omega-6 fatty acids. This leads to inflammation in your dogs body. Inflammation can be in the form of arthritis, obesity, IB

    What's in Prescription Diets?

    Prescription diets can be a sensitive subject to talk about with veterinarians and veterinary technicians that support and sell these foods. I want to discuss prescription diets in a logical way that breaks down each ingredient for everyone to easily understand. Unfortunately, prescription diets for pets are made from incredibly unhealthy ingredients that aren’t meant for a dog or cat’s consumption. Prescription diets are filled with countless unhealthy, non-species appropria

    Why I Don't Feed Chicken To My Pets

    I don't recommend feeding chicken to dogs or cats that have allergies or other forms of inflammation because it increases inflammation in the body, it lacks essential nutrients, and can cause the health issues listed above. Chicken is a warming protein, meaning it will increase body temperature and any inflammation your dog or cat may be experiencing. This is based on Food Energetics from Chinese medicine. If your dog has allergies, hot spots, excessive itching, fur loss, or

    Don't Be Fooled By The Cover!

    The first ingredient in all pet food needs to be meat. However, the ingredients following should consist of meat as well or at least foods that a dog or cat should be eating. Just because a pet food has meat as the first ingredient, does not make it any healthier if other low quality ingredients make up the majority of the food. Whole grain corn, rice, wheat, and by products should never be in your pets diet or be the main ingredients in a pet food like this brand, Purina Ben

    The Quality v. Quantity of Dog Food

    The Quality v. Quantity of Dog Food: the higher rated the food, the less you feed and the healthier it is. This display is of a daily feeding amount for a 5 star kibble compared to the daily feeding amount of a 3, and 1-2 star kibble for a 50 pound dog. Even if your dog is less than 50 pounds, or more than 50 pounds, there is a visible difference between the quantity and quality of these brands. I often hear that people can't afford a 5 star kibble. This display shows that yo

    Bad For Your Dog

    I took a survey at a pet event where I asked 250 people what kind of food and treats they feed their pets. Out of those people, 87% feed either Iams or some variation of Purina. These brands are extremely unhealthy and can cause issues such as the ones listed above, and sometimes even worse health issues such as cancer, seizures, and death. I have seen this thousands of times over the years as many pet owners have come to me because their pet has severe allergies or some illn
