Dog Nutrition

For our dogs to perform at their very best, we feed the highest quality raw diet.

The meat comes from animals raised on our farm and human quality meats from the grocery store. We do not raise enough chickens and sheep to feed our dogs exclusively from our farm. They get a variety of proteins including chicken, beef, turkey, wild alaskan salmon, pork, venison, and sheep with bone and organ meats. Once per week I give them a mix of fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and supplements. This includes pineapple, apples, carrots, kale, collard greens, oranges, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries with supplements wild salmon oil, B and C vitamins, kelp, spirulina, glucosamine, and alfalfa.

Bascially, a balanced raw diet is 80% meat, 10% bone, and 10% organ meat with a dog usually eating 2-3% of their body weight per day. It is very important to have more than one source of protein and to provide enough organ meat for the vitamins, especially liver. There are many websites that are more in depth regarding the raw diet.

I also use K9 Kravings commercially prepared frozen raw green tripe. K9 Kravings is all human quality and allows me the convienence of prepared food. I also use some Highland raw beef/lamb mix for variety when I do not have my own sheep meat available.
