Conflicting claims of superiority among dog food makers and the mountain of opinions, often unsubstantiated, on the web can be confusing and intimidating.

You can be assured that any dog or cat food formula chosen from our selection will provide your dog or cat with a nutritious healthy diet. Each formula has specific attributes but all will contribute to the overall health of your dog. We also stock a variety of supplements to fine-tune individual diets.

Veterinarians say that up to 40%, or more, of the problems their canine patients experience are food quality or food allergy related. Finding the right dog food may take awhile but when you find the ideal match, you will likely see a marked improvement in his/her over-all health, energy and attitude. It is surprising how many ways the wrong diet can manifest itself at the expense of your dog’s health and happiness.

We stock natural dog foods that represent different manufacturing processes and philosophies. We are always evaluating foods so check with us for the most current selection.  If we don't stock your dog food here we can special order most brands.

Canine Dietary Considerations

The rotation diet in which food variety becomes part of your dog’s routine is gaining popularity. The notion of feeding one diet for life, or for long periods, has been largely discredited. Food makers’ state that their food is complete and balanced. While that may be true for a particular recipe, no one formula can meet all the requirements of an individual dog’s system over time. Dietary variety helps prevent food sensitivities and allergies by reducing protein source overexposure. A mixed diet will result in a healthier animal better equipped to resist ailments, disease and, to some extent, fleas. We can help you with techniques to make transitioning a smoother process.

Another consideration is the blending of canned dog food with kibble. Many dog lovers view canned (wet) food as inferior to dry but the poor quality of yesteryear’s wet food has been replaced with better ingredients and improved preparation methods elevating the quality of canned products to, or exceeding, that of the best dry formulas. Plus it helps with hydration.
