1. Puppy's First Dinner:
The old saying that "necessity is the mother of all
inventions" was never truer than when we had to come up with a
formulation for our orphaned puppy. Sarah, our darling
little Rottie came to us at the young age of three days old.
She was found as part of a litter of three that the bitch had no
interest in rearing and had abandoned. By the time Alicia was
called to take the puppies and try to save them two had died. The last
one was taken to Lorraine's home where her amazingly maternal six year
old spayed female Doberman Tasha (never had puppies herself)
immediately took to mothering Sarah in every way except nursing her,
though Sarah did try. We are fortunate that we live near an
extensive farming community and were immediately able to obtain fresh
goats' milk from free ranged goats, as well as farm fresh free-range
eggs.
Lorraine made up a formula for little Sarah and her family all
participated in the 24 hr, care needed to keep Sarah alive and
thriving. When Sarah reached the stage when her mother would have
started weaning her and regurgitating food for her to eat, we had to
formulate a nutritious raw diet for her. After much research,
Lorraine came up with the formula for our "PUPPIES FIRST DINNER".
Because Sarah had such a difficult start in life, her "PUPPIES FIRST
DINNER" was made from double ground certified organic chicken,
free-range antibiotic, hormone and drug free ground organs, farm fresh
free-range eggs, vitamin B and our large variety of enzyme and
vitamin rich nutritious vegetables, kelp and alfalfa. Sarah
is now 6 yrs old and is a wonderful happy, healthy dog.
We are very proud of our "PUPPIES FIRST DINNER" that we now offer it in
grain fed, federally approved grade “A” double ground chicken.
Certified organic chicken is offered upon request.
Feeding Puppies:
Since puppies have not had time to develop a lazy digestive system, switching them to raw can usually be accomplished quickly. From the time you take your puppy home, from eight weeks to approximately 5 months of age, they should eat 3 meals a day. Ideally 2 out of the 3 meals should be raw meaty bones (chicken necks/backs, turkey necks, beef necks, pork necks), the third meal can be our Puppies First Dinner, or our vegetables mixed with any of the following: eggs, organ meats, muscle meats such as heart or giblets, or a ground meaty bone mixture other than that in the previous two raw meaty bone meals. If your schedule does not permit you to watch over the puppy as he eats the raw meaty bone meals our Puppies First Dinner may be substituted. A good rule of thumb is to feed puppies 10% of their body weight. Puppies should grow slowly and always be lean for proper skeletal health. The key ingredients for bone and joint problems (hip and elbow dysplasia) and osteochondritis (OCD) is excess weight, maximum growth rate and poor quality nutrition. Raw fed puppies will reach their genetic potential at a slower rate than kibble fed puppies.
