Question 7

Where are the bones, organs and calcium?

Accepted Answer

"Throwing a dog a bone" is an age old and excepted way for some to feed dogs.

Bones and organs are especially popular when diets are created without the benefit of ingredients and a qualified scientific nutritionist. You probably already know, calcium and essential nutrients come in many forms not just bones and organs. Some of our ingredients which have calcium are spinach, broccoli and blueberries.

Since our food blends are human grade and air dried and we retain our vitamin/mineral content by using this process, our foods offer optimum nutrition – including calcium.

For instance, did you know kale has more calcium than milk and broccoli has just as much as milk?

Question 8

What is so important about vitamins?

Accepted Answer

There is a huge difference between our naturally occurring vitamins and minerals and those added to processed foods. It&#x27;s important to be aware of the warnings regarding added supplements and synthetic vitamins commonly found in manufactured products. Synthetic vitamins particularly; fat-soluble ones build up in the fat tissues, fat deposits and the liver. In addition, the base of the synthetics can consist of petrochemical derivatives, nicotine and coal tars (by-products of coal). Many supplements look good on the label but many are difficult if not impossible for dogs to assimilate. Toxins from synthetic additives and chemical supplements build up over time and can compromise organs, create digestive issues and show up as itchy skin syndrome and more!

Question 11

Do I have to Transition to your food?

Accepted Answer

YES! It&#x27;s important to slowly transition your dog&#x27;s tummy to any new food!Because 80% of their immune system is in their gut, it is important to take care of your dog’s digestive system. Keeping in mind that all dogs are individuals, switching their food might go faster or slower than average. You will want to take into consideration things such as any history of sensitive gastrointestinal issues. Basically, substitute 25% of their old food with our food and feed that way for at lease 3-4 days. Continue substituting 25% in the same pattern until fully transitioned.It is vital to never suddenly change your dog’s diet, but instead, slowly transition their food over a period of several days.
