Do I have to raw feed?
While raw feeding offers numerous benefits, it's not the only path to a healthy diet. We can discuss various feeding models and help you find the best approach that suits both your dog's needs and your lifestyle. Balance and variety are key, regardless of the method.
Is fresh feeding expensive?
The cost of fresh feeding can vary depending on the ingredients and where you source them. We can guide you on how to create a balanced fresh diet within your budget, often showing that it can be more affordable and beneficial than many commercial options in the long run.
Why does my dog eat poo?
Coprophagia (eating poo) can stem from various reasons, including nutritional deficiencies, boredom, or behavioural issues. We can help you identify the root cause and provide strategies, often diet related, to address this common concern.
Why does my dog eat grass?
Dogs eating grass is a widespread behaviour, and while often harmless, it can sometimes indicate digestive upset or a need for certain nutrients. We can explore your dog's diet and habits to determine if there's an underlying cause that can be resolved through nutritional adjustments.
What is Titre Testing?
Titre testing is a blood analysis that gauges the concentration of antibodies in your dog's blood. This test helps determine if your dog needs their next vaccinations. It assesses immunity against canine distemper, parvovirus, and infectious hepatitis. However, it does NOT include tests for leptospirosis and should be conducted annually, as it does not provide long lasting immunity.
While vaccine manufacturers suggest administering vaccines every three years, it’s advisable to conduct a titre test first. Many dogs still retain sufficient antibody levels against specific pathogens for years. Over vaccination can pose potential health problems and some dogs may benefit from detoxification and a break from the harsh chemicals, including tick and flea treatment.
Is raw feeding dangerous?
People often believe raw feeding is dangerous due to concerns about bacteria and nutritional inadequacy. However, raw feeding, when done properly with appropriate guidelines and variety, has many benefits such as improved digestion, immunity support, better coat and teeth, and smaller, less smelly stools. We'll show you how to safely and effectively meet your dog's nutritional requirements.
Does it matter what I feed? dog?
It absolutely does! Many factors determine what your dog requires nutritionally, such as their breed, age, lifestyle, and energy levels. Low quality diets can contribute to poor health and nutritional deficiencies, while high quality diets promote good health and life longevity. We believe in tailoring nutrition to individual needs.
There are many options of feeding your dog's a nutritionally balanced meal.
