Nutrition

I feel the need to preface this post with the fact that I break all the rules when it comes to feeding our dogs.  But the way we feed works for us and has proven successful over decades of breeding and competing with our dogs.  For years we have entrusted our dogs to two key sources of nutrition and more recently we have integrated greater portions of raw feeding into their diets as well. 
In an effort to raise our dogs more naturally over the years we have progressed to feeding a greater percentage of their diet from raw feeding.  Raw feeding felt very daunting at first and slightly overwhelming.  But with proper education and creativity, we easily integrated raw feeding into our lives.  One of my favorite ways to feed raw is to use an ice cream scoop to freeze raw patties for our dogs.  It is easy to portion out that way and requires making just one large batch of food per week.  Our dogs raw diet incorporates a great variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, muscle meat and organs from a variety of protein sources including; beef, venison, pork, chicken, turkey and fish.  We also add raw goats milk and whole raw fresh eggs (shell and all) to their diet.  Our dogs are fed two raw meals per day as a portion of their daily intake.
We highly recommend raw feeding over feeding conventional kibble.  We have found raw feeding to be extremely beneficial when potty training as output is lessened due to the high digestibility.  But we understand that with busy lives, kibble feeding has it's place.  If feeding a raw diet, we highly recommend seeking the assistance of a canine nutritionist to formulate recipes that properly meet the dietary needs of your dog.  If feeding conventional kibble, incorporating a percentage of raw into their diet will have great nutritional benefits.  
When it comes to feeding dogs, we understand that the needs of individual dogs and their families vary.  We are happy to provide food recommendations in all forms.
