Why Organic? Why Kosher? We care. It
matters to us what goes in your dog (and on your
dog!).
We work with companies who use only certified organic
human grade ingredients, sourced from carefully monitored organic
growing areas, primarily in North America, except for the extra virgin
olive oil, which comes from Italy or Spain.
We sell what they bake, so we need to know they are a
company with enormous integrity and demonstrated high production
standards--the organic and kosher certification is a guarantee of the
company's strong commitment to quality.
We want only the best for our best friends . . .
Easily Digestible Grains
Whole spelt flour, oats, barley, and brown rice flour offer the
attributes of easy digestibility. They are rich in nutrients, high in
protein, and full of essential vitamins and minerals.
Whole-Wheat Flour
An excellent source of protein and fiber to aid in intestinal health,
the coarse-ground high protein flour contains the germ and bran. It
helps to stimulate liver function and cleanse toxins from our dogs'
bodies. Whole wheat contains B vitamins, folic acid, calcium, iron,
magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and other minerals.
Flax Seed
Rich in Omega 3, flax seed has been shown to possess many properties
that are beneficial for dogs and promote good heart health, cancer
prevention, healthy skin and coat.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (the only type of
organic olive oil)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil contains the optimal ratio of Omega 6 and Omega
3 fatty acids, both of which play a vital role in healing inflammation,
especially in joints (arthritis), skin (allergies), and intestines
(inflammatory bowel disease). These fatty acids are also the most
concentrated form of food energy, providing a dog with twice the energy
of proteins or carbohydrates. Essential fatty acids must be added to a
dog's diet because their bodies do not synthesize them in sufficient
amounts.
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower Oil is high in linoleic acid (Omega 6), an unsaturated
essential fatty acid that plays an important role in the regulation and
functioning of every organ and cell in the body. Linoleic acid also
helps to balance and heal the immune system as well as reduce
inflammatory reactions such as those seen in arthritis and allergies.
Eggs
Eggs offer a host of vitamins and minerals beneficial to muscles,
coat, skin, and joints. They are also an excellent source of protein,
the building blocks of cells, antibodies, and hormones. Eggs are
critical for growth, reproduction, and maintenance. They also contain
essential amino acids, a necessary supplement for dogs' diets.
Non-Fat
Dry Milk
Milk in moderate amounts is easily digestible, high in protein, and
contains vitamins and minerals that are essential to our dogs' healthy
diet. Vitamins B, D, and E are necessary to help strengthen bones,
fight anemia, prevent certain forms of dermatitis, and improve muscle
action. Iodine, a major mineral in milk, helps to regulate a dog's
metabolism and endocrine function.
Honey
Honey contains many essential nutrients, including B-complex vitamins.
It helps fight colon cancer, acts as a natural antiseptic, promotes
healing, and is a good source of energy for dogs.
Garlic
Garlic is an antioxidant, which in small amounts helps fight infection
and disease. It is a source of selenium, which aids in proper immune
response, helps neutralize free radicals in your dog's body, and
minimizes the effects of daily stress. Garlic also helps keep dogs'
coats healthy and is a natural repellant of biting insects.
Sea Salt
A touch of naturally dried sea salt is a healthful addition to a dog's
diet. Dogs deficient in salt may exhibit fatigue, decreased water
intake, retarded growth, dryness of skin and loss of hair.
