Dog DNA is 99% that of the wolf. The outside of the dog has changed but the digestive system hasn't and that's why raw food and treats are your dog's natural diet. It's the natural diet of the wolf. But many people are hesitant, believing raw feeding is difficult and expensive. You can be a DIY'er picking and choosing each ingredient that goes into your pet's meals if you like. We have very good quality beef, organs, bones, fish and chicken parts for you to choose from based on availability. if you don't have the predisposition to that, we have high quality complete meals with muscle meats, organ and bone mixes, some with veggies added for your pet. Many of these are single protein for those of you dealing with allergies or sensitivities. We found once your pet settles into the raw diet and catches up on his nutrients, the intake settles down depending on activity level and metabolism. In fact when we compared the cost of raw vs kibble (even what we thought was a very good quality kibble), we saved money and we haven't taken into account the potential money saved on vet bills.

There are 3 Cardinal Rules:

1. A complete diet has muscle meat (protein) organ (vitamins) and bone (minerals).

2. A balanced diet has as much variety of the above as possible.

3. Dogs and puppies need bones to chew on.

- This is a rough guideline but gives you a starting point. The average adult dog eats 2% of their lean body weight in Total Daily Intake. For a 45lb dog for example the math looks like this:

• 45 lbs divided by 100 = 0.45.

• 0.45 x 2 (%) = 0.9 lbs in TDI.

• To know what that is in ounces, multiply 0.9 lbs by 16. 0.9 x 16 = 14 + ozs.

• Your Pet's TDI includes meals, snacks and treats.

• A kitchen scale will help weigh out portions.

If your pet is overweight, use his target body weight.

Inactive pets will need about 1% Active, working or nursing pets will need roughly 3-5%.

Puppies will need 4-5%.

Cats 2-3%.

4 week kittens 10% slowly working down to 4-5% by 1 year.

Ferrets 10% and kits 20%.

Watch how your pet responds. Is he still hungry? Is he losing weight? Is he gaining weight? Is he at his target weight? Adjust his intake accordingly if needed. His ribs should feel like the knuckles on the back of your first.

Many diseases can be helped if not cured by switching to a raw diet. To help the healing process, you can also do what's called Organ or Glandular Therapy. The Chinese have practiced it for centuries. You give up to 10% of the TDI of a specific, good quality ground or minced organ For example, to heal pancreatiis, supplement with pancreas. For kidney disease, kidney. For heart disease, heart and so on. You can also supplement prophylactically if your pet's breed happens to be prone to a certain condition. We carry high quality beef organs from our ranch for DIY'ers or people supplementing to treat conditions.
