The amount to feed depends upon the activity level, age, breed and metabolic make-up of the dog. Each dog is different. You may need to increase or decrease the amount of food accordingly in order to maintain optimal body weight. 

Optimal body weight is achieved if you can see a waistline when looking from the top of your pet. Maintaining optimal weight is essential for maintaining amazing joint health and reduces other diseases caused by obesity. 

RAW FED PETS - A SECRET TO SUPERIOR PET HEALTH

This past week we requested owners to post on our FB page about the reasons they feed their pets a raw diet.
Raw feeding is a diet consisting of meat, bones and organs that are NOT cooked. This allows the pet to obtain nutrition from unprocessed sources and provides the animals a chance to get back to the basics of eating real food to obtain optimal health.

The stories below are only a few of the many that have found the secret to optimal health.

This is Boris - owned by Leslie of Ontario Canada

"He is a 6 year old golden retriever. He is goofy and funny and loves to eat! We switched Boris to a raw food diet from expensive vet food. Boris was on vet food due to his sensitive stomach and urinary issues. We realized that nothing in his food would be things we would eat and how boring would it be to eat the same dry boring food every day! We were recommended the raw food diet from a friend and another to you.....we were reluctant at first but a year later wouldnt even think about turning back. All of boris ailments have disappeared. His coat is incredible and his teeth have never been so white. His favourite foods are the triple mix and chicken feet if he had to chose but he loves everything." July 2016. 

"This is Onyx owned by Brooke from Ontario Canada. She is a three year old Lab mix. Her favourite things to do are hiking, swimming, and eating her raw food! Onyx suffers from Epilepsy, and the raw diet has aided in curbing her seizures! It was recommended by a local vet, and we haven't looked back since. Not only did it improve her overall health and happiness, but there's a fraction of the shedding, and poop!" July 2016

"Nash owned by Alexandra from Ontario Canada, is an young energetic male Portuguese Water Dog who will be 2 years old in August. When he was just under a year old we noticed that he was not digesting kibble well, and after some research and education, we decided to switch him over to a raw fed diet. Through process of elimination on raw meats, we determined his initial reaction to the kibble was actually an allergic reaction to chicken, but when we saw how much he thoroughly enjoyed his raw food, (especially salmon and turkey necks) there was no going back! His groomer noticed a difference in his coat very shortly after switching, and his teeth now shine such a bright white on his silky black coat! We cannot be more happy with his health since he has been on raw! We are grateful to CLPR for giving us great tips and advice when we were starting out! Here is a photo of our happily raw fed boy, Nash!"
