THEME
|
Nutritional Philosophy ....... | |
| |
Each dog is an individual and needs to be fed that way. Itchy skin, runny eyes, gastrointestinal problems and a myriad of other complaints can often be traced to dietary sensitivities. Certain breeds and individuals are predisposed to particular ailments that may be addressed by dietary modifications. Addressing disease may require a unique change in diet plans. | |
| |
Respecting the needs of individual dogs translates to feeding a diet that supports uniqueness. The notion of there being one perfect way to feed all dogs is a myth. Some will thrive on an all raw diet, others will do best on cooked foods while yet others will do well eating a combination of both. The choice is based on the dog owner's comfort level with a particular method of feeding and the dog's tolerance level of that choice. | |
