Fresh and Gently Cooked Meals
For owners interested in feeding fresh food, either as a complete diet or as an occasional addition, depending on the product.
Amazing company!! 10/10 recommend. It does get expensive for multi-dog families. But if you can afford it your dog will be the happiest dog in the world.
The Farmer's Dog
Fresh food! Not canned or pebbles. A great choice if you don’t have 3 dogs like me.

Broths, Gravies, and Hydrating Toppers

Salmon and Omega-3 Supplements
Products containing EPA and DHA, which can be useful for certain skin, coat, and inflammatory conditions. Focus on clearly labeled omega-3 content rather than just the amount of oil.
Salmon Oil is a nonnegotiable must when it comes to my dog’s meals. It is beneficial for coat health and had so many other benefits.

Veterinary backed and a simple ingredient product.
Dental Powder for Dogs (and Cats!) | 4.2 oz | Dental Care
