We have found the benefits of feeding raw to be innumerable. These benefits include no doggy breath and less doggy odour; clean, white teeth; firmer, smaller and less smelly stools; and all around better health, mentally and physically.

Our dogs are first and foremost our
friends and companions, and to keep them in peak health we feed them the best
diet we can provide. We have based the way, and what, we feed on the
writings of
Dr Ian Billinghurst, an Australian vet, who insists that domestic dogs
should not be eating commercially prepared food, but a biologically appropriate
diet which mimics the natural diet of wild dogs as closely as possible, whilst
minimising any risks that go along with the diet of dogs living in the wild. We have found the benefits of feeding raw to be innumerable. These benefits include no doggy breath and less doggy odour; clean, white teeth; firmer, smaller and less smelly stools; and all around better health, mentally and physically. |

| Please pay attention to the weight of your dog and increase or decrease food accordingly, always remembering you should be able to FEEL your dog’s ribs easily, but NOT SEE them. If your dog is overweight, feed less. If your dog is skinny, feed more… If your dog’s stools are sloppy, feed more raw meaty bones, if they are too hard, feed more fruit/veges. | ||
| Kelp, garlic, and ginger are added to the vege mix and liqui vita (liquid multi vitamin) is added to the water daily. | ||
| Always supervise your dog whilst he or she is eating. | ||
