RAW Diet

We feed a Modified, Hormone Free, Raw Diet by select vendors and Timber Wolf Organics, Inc. of Windemere, Florida. We supplement our feeding program with NuVet vitamins. Our puppies are started on a raw diet with a fresh goat milk base beginning at 4 weeks.

Although we recommend and advocate a Raw Food Diet, there are many alternatives for a premium feeding program both raw and processed.

We feed our Standard Poodles and Brittanys many of the Products from select vendors, Bone Appetit Raw Food and Timber Wolf Organics. We supplement their meals with NuVet Vitamins and Salmon Oil from Timber Wolf. Megs Meats in Truckee, California offers very special raw food diets for dogs and cats. We have begun to make a home grind for our raw feeding program. We use local meat/vegetable sources and a grain free/air-dried vegetable Sojourner Farms product called, Europa. We have used Canidae Products in the past and still advocate their food line.

When one is dedicated to a raw feeding program, FREEZER SPACE is a MUST. We have 7 freezers in our food kitchen. We believe in a raw food diet but it is alot of commitment to use this process on a large scale.

The Great Condition of our puppies and adult dogs really shows and we attribute this to the raw feeding program and supplements we use. We believe, the healthy birth weight of our puppies is also a direct result of our commitment to the raw feeding program and the vitamin supplements we feed.

We continue our feeding program for our Standard Poodles and Brittanys, 6 weeks to Adults on:

Our Adult Raw Food Grind contains, USDA Inspected and Approved for Human Consumption, Red and White Domestic/Game MEAT/FOWL, Seasonal Green Leafy Vegtables, Select Fruit, Animal OFFAL, Raw Apple Cider Vinager, Afalfa Powder, Sea Kelp Powder, Probiotic Powder, Cold Water Salmon/Fish Oil and Nu Vet Vitamin Powder.

We have a special FOWL FREE Grind that is for our dogs with sensitive stomachs and/or allergies. The base for the meal is a neutral meat like Rabbit or Lamb.

If the base is made from "Strip" (Boneless Meat) we add Bone Meal from Meg's Meat's for the bone component of the grind.

For our Puppies, our grind begins with Domestic Rabbit and Fine Bone. We slowly introduce Fine Ground Chicken and Turkey. The food base starts with warm Goat Milk for the first 3 weeks.

Sierra Meats in Reno Nevada has an EXTENSIVE line item list (4500 products) of Every Domestic and Game Meat you can imagine and some you cannot!

Lorie Cooper at Sierra Meat & Sea Food (800) 444-5687, is the dog food EXPERT (My nomination).

Lorie will assist you in developing an order for your Canine or Feline home made meals.

Lorie is very well versed on her company and their products. They have no website and have been in business for 45 years. They ship WORLWIDE, offer smaller quantites and their prices are very COMPETATIVE.

We grind our meals in a Tor Rey MR 22 R 1 Grinder and have a bag tuber to make 2 and 5 pound bags of our food grind.

We have our own label and when our puppies go to their new homes, we furnish a raw food pack for them so their GI systems remain stable during their transition.

Our Grind is not for RESALE. We make what we feed our adult canines and our pups. We furnish friends and family because we are proud of our grind!

We also supplement our canine meals with RAW meaty bones three times a week.

We highly recomend beef femur bones, buffalo neck and femur bones and pork necks. Sierra Meats offers these in 50 pound boxes and the quality is EXCELLENT.

We wish you a very successful Raw Dog Food manufacture and remain available to answer questions to assist in a start for the home-made pet food enthusiasts.

We strongly recommend the RAW food books by Dr. Ian Billinghurst and the monthly periodical, Whole Dog Journal. Their recipes are excellent and the information for a RAW food plan is UNMATCHED.

It is not alot of work. If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. We are very dedicated to what we do and we LOVE IT!

The good health results and stunning physical stamina/appearance are VERY obvious in our Standard Poodles and Brittanys, both adults and pups!

We would like to personally thank Roxann Knight at Bone Appetit Raw Foods, Grace Weymeier of Meg's Meat's, PJ Wagsness- Howe of Dog Training by PJ and Penny Harney at PINAFORE KENNELS for all their knowledge and help in our process and for convincing us that, "IT IS OK TO FEED YOUR PETS RAW FOODS!"

When our puppies go to their new homes they are microchipped, come with a pre-paid Avid registration form, are groomed several times, temperament tested, vet certified with health record specific to the puppy, parental genetic health background information binder, raw/prepared food kit, their own pillow bed and a PUPPY LAYETTE; complete but not limited to - food/water bowls, collar/leash, brush, toys, chews, shampoo, cologne, Grooming Chart, Blade Chart and MUCH MORE.

We really enjoy shopping and strive to furnish our puppy families with enough items to get them thru the first month with their new puppy. We do pet grooming on a small scale in our shop and keep enough product here to make up a great layette. We strongly believe in the PUPPY KONG and furnish one with each puppy, color-specific to their sex. If we ship a puppy via air carrier, we ship in the USPS by PRIORITY mail, a modified puppy kit a week before the puppy ships to their new home. Pictures of our items to choose from are:
