Adult
Dogs: Most adult dogs require 2% to 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 1.5% 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 to provide the necessary
trace minerals and Omega 3 essential fatty acids.

We
carry K9 Shine Herring Oil.
The herring oil is extracted by a fish reduction plant that
is located in Nova Scotia. 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. To quote the manufacturer:
"The fresh herring are brought to the fish reduction
plant where they are slightly heated to firm the flesh and
liquefy the oil which is otherwise in a semisolid state
(being careful not to damage the delicate Omega 3 fatty
acids). From here the herring pass through the "Shaker"
into the "Press". The liquids are pressed out
and travel to a large temporary holding tank. From here
the liquids travel to the "Separator". The nutritious
oil is separated from the other liquids through a spinning
process, at this time the pure herring oil is pumped into
another large holding/settling tank."
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 roughly one teaspoon or 5 ml of herring oil per day per
30 pounds of your dog's body weight.
A quarter teaspoon of kelp per day per 30 pounds of your
dog's body weight is sufficient.
More
on the Raw Diet
The
raw diet, often called the BARF diet (which stands for Biologically
Appropriate Raw Food) was first largely 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

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. |
