What's in your Dog Food?


What is in your Dog’s food?

Disease begins when your K9 partners body is not getting the NUTRIENTS it needs to maintain the immune system, thus the immune system cannot do its job.  When the immune system fails to purge, toxins and unhealthy cells take over. It could be said the correct diet might just prevent or help combat disease.  Diet is IMPORTANT to your partner’s health.  It contributes to or can be the actual basis for performance and top health condition.  
Proteins from food build cellular structure. The poorer your K9 partner’s diet is, the more toxins are in their body. Over time, poor diet weakens the body and the immune system.  Poor diet may not CAUSE disease; rather it creates conditions within the body that can lead to disease.   Many chronic health problems and acute diseases suffered by humans and animals are directly related to diet.
Though dogs have adapted to a domesticated, omnivorous diet over the centuries, a protein- based diet free of grains more closely mimics their ancestral beginnings. Dogs are able to digest grains, but their bodies don't break down grains as efficiently as they do proteins and fats.
This is why a diet free of grains and made with protein sources is an excellent option for working dogs, especially those with food sensitivities.
The first ingredient in every formula of your partner’s food needs to be animal-sourced protein from trusted sources, for superior taste and nutrition. Sweet Potatoes provide complex carbohydrates for all-day energy, while fruits and vegetables add powerful natural antioxidants for Optimal health and vitality.
  • Protein Blend - Real beef, chicken or fish protein sources provide dogs with the amino acid building blocks necessary for ideal lean body condition.
  • Digestive Support - Natural fiber ingredients, including prebiotic fiber (dried chicory root), help support healthy digestion. Omega Fatty Acids - A blend of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids from fish meal, flaxseed and either chicken fat or canola oil helps keep the skin and coat healthy and shiny.
  • Fruits and Veggies - Sweet potatoes, peas, garbanzo beans, potatoes, blueberries and raspberries provide an excellent spectrum of phytonutrients.
  • Antioxidant Formulation - Guaranteed levels of selenium and vitamin E help support a healthy and active lifestyle.
We share our lives with our K9 Partner and lives depend on them, so a proper diet is key to their and others survival.
