Recommendation:
Try Primal’s Raw Frozen Mixes, made of organic raw meat (chicken, lamb, sardine, beef or turkey) and incorporating fresh ground bone for calcium and certified organic produce for additional fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Find it at primalpetfoods.com.

Recommendation:

Try Gutsy, an awesome all natural, grain-free, gently dehydrated dog food. It’s made from antibiotic and hormone-free chicken or salmon and trout, plus organic fruits and vegetables. Bonus: it contains ingredients specifically designed for preventative and protective gut health so it’s great for your dog’s digestion. Find it at crumps.ca.

 

We also love the convenience of Amore’s MEGA Morsels dehydrated dog food–just serve as is or add water to hydrate! Their nutritious recipes are available in a wide variety of protein sources, from human-grade chicken, beef and turkey to novel-protein-source kangaroo, perfect for dogs with allergies. The protein is mixed with veggies, salmon or olive oil, kelp and ground bone for a complete and balanced meal. Their free range meats are free of antibiotics, steroids and growth hormones and are bought directly from farms that have personally been checked by the owner. That's amore! amorepetfoods.com

Recommendation:
We love Primal Pet Food’s natural, raw freeze-dried formulas, such as the delicious duck, lamb, and rabbit nuggets! Check it out at primalpetfoods.com

Recommendation:

Ziwi uses this gentle process to make nutrient-dense, glycerin and filler free, limited ingredient food and snacks—in their own facility no less, with all meats and fish sourced from New Zealand and no outsourced production! They provide higher organ/meat content, which means smaller serving sizes and a lower cost to feed. It comes ready-to-feed and stays shelf stable at room temperature, so no need to refrigerate or add water. Try their super-healthy air-dried mackerel and lamb & venison formulas, all of which are good for any breed or life stage! Available at ziwipets.com
