Not all dogs / lifestyles will allow for raw feeding (although there are many benefits of doing so) but don’t feel like your dog is missing out or you aren’t doing enough to provide a healthy diet. There are other ways to improve a basic dry food diet. You can add superfood treats, frozen snacks, fresh veggies/herbs from your garden & much more!
Below are just a handful of options to consider / their benefits are noted, of course when trying anything new be sure to monitor your dog for signs of allergic reactions or dislike/avoidance. You may also wish to consult with your veterinarian if your dog has preexisting medical conditions to ensure it is ok to do so.
** These suggestions do not replace the need for veterinary care or diagnosis, they are not intended as treatment of health concerns, but rather a way to help improve or enhance their meal time with added benefits naturally.
Growing our own ingredients is important to us and allows us to ensure our quality remains consistent. This does also mean our supply is not endless and as you well know can be easily impacted due to our extreme seasonal changes. We offer our products based on what we were able to harvest during the season, once our ingredients run out they will be sold out until the next season.
*our website will remain consistent for our (12) core options, however you may find alternate offerings at our market events and trade shows, or sampler packs to help dip your toes into the concept!

Quail have become a new personal passion of ours and the dogs love their eggs! Now not all dogs love the texture of a solid egg or wont eat the shell - but the shell has lots of goodness to it so we don’t want them to miss out on any of this gem! They are rich in protein, nutrients and omega 3 fatty acids. They can help prevent anemia, they improve muscle mass, provide support to the brain, bones and teeth… and if that isn’t enough they also help to regulate blood sugar.
So yeah… this stuff is like powder gold & a high QUAILity ingredient to add into their diet.
*Allergies: for dogs who are allergic to chicken, quail’s an alternative!

We have tucked in a few floral heads to add to the benefit of this tin and to provide that “wow factor“ for social media meal prep.
