Adult
Dogs: Most adult dogs require 3% of their optimum
weight in food per day. This amount can be split over as many
meals as you want. If your dog is overweight, reduce the amount
to 2% to 2.5% per day. The food intake required to maintain
good body condition will vary, depending on age, activity
level and environment.
Puppies: A growing puppy should get 4% to
5% of
their weight in food per day. Measure their weight gain every
couple of weeks and adjust the amounts accordingly.
All that is needed to complete your dog's nutritional needs
is to add a bit of kelp and herring oil/fish oil
to provide the necessary trace minerals and Omega 3 essential
fatty acids.

We carry North Atlantic Herring
Oil. The herring oil is extracted by a fish
reduction plant that is located in the Maritimes. They use
only fresh caught herring from the cold waters of the North
Atlantic Ocean for this process. This type of fish contains
a high amount of nutritious oil, rich in marine omega-3 fatty
acids. This all natural, nutritious herring oil is government
inspected and certified to guarantee the highest quality product
possible.
The extraction process is strickly mechanical and does not
involve the use of solvents. This natural extraction method
ensures that the nutritional components of the oil are not
damaged or lost. And because herrings are very low on the
food chain, molecular distillation (which denatures the oil)
to remove heavy metals is not necessary.
The suggested serving
is 1/2 teaspoon or 2.5 ml of herring
oil per day per 15 pounds of your dog's body
weight.
For the kelp:
Dogs 25lbs and under:1/8 teaspoon daily.
Dogs over 25lbs up to 50lbs:1/4 teaspoon daily.
Dogs over 50lbs:1/2 teaspoon daily.

More
on the Raw Diet
The
raw diet, often called the BARF diet (which stands for Biologically
Appropriate Raw Food) was first largely brought to prominence
by Dr. Ian Billinghurst in his books "Give Your Dog a
Bone" (1993) and "Grow Your Pups With Bones"
(1998).
By nature and by physiology, dogs are carnivores. They have
teeth that are designed to rip and tear meat, and they do
not have grinding teeth for chewing grains and carbohydrate
foods. They also have a short gut with high levels for digestive
acids for digesting meat and bones. They do not produce adequate
enzymes for complete carbohydrate digestion.
Most commercial dog foods,
besides being made largely from by-products and spent leftovers
from other manufacturing processes, have a large percentage
of grain content. This has been shown to cause numerous problems
with dogs, including poor digestion, canine diabetes, allergies,
hip and shoulder problems, dental decay, arthritis, hyper-activity
and various metabolic related disorders. Just like people
have come to have all sorts of modern illnesses from their
modern refined, over-processed diet, likewise their dogs are
manifesting the very same illnesses from their refined, de-natured
commercial kibble.
The Mountain Dog Food company is Canada's largest producer
of raw dog food, processing over 3 million pounds of product
each year. They are located in Edmonton Alberta and have recently
expanded their distribution to Ontario. Their production standards,
quality control and customer support are unsurpassed in the
Canadian raw dog food industry. We are glad to be able to
supply our customers with such excellent nutrition for their
dogs. Their large volume of production has also made their
product the most affordable raw dog food on the market.

Food Pets
Die for: Shocking Facts about Pet Food: This book by
Ann Martiin was the first exposé of the shocking practices
within the pet food manufacturing industry. Since the book's publication
in 1997, she has been calling attention to the dubious ingredients
and methods employed by many firms. And in this updated guide,
Martin continues to put pressure on the big companies to find
alternatives. She suggests that if acceptable commercially prepared
food is not available, food can be made at home using safe and
human-quality ingredients, and she provides recipes and suggestions
for supplements. |
