As more people take control of their own health through clean, whole-food nutrition, it’s only natural to ask: shouldn’t our dogs be held to the same standard? Just like us, what they eat fuels everything — energy, recovery, resilience, and longevity. Yet most commercial pet food is packed with fillers, ultra-processed ingredients, and synthetic additives. It's not real food — and it's not what our dogs were built to thrive on.

Dogs may not be wolves, but they are still biologically carnivores. While they’ve adapted to digest small amounts of carbohydrates, their bodies are optimized for meat, organ cuts, and raw bones — the very foods that support strong muscles, clean teeth, healthy joints, and vibrant overall health. Wolves in the wild rarely suffer from chronic disease. So why not feed our dogs the way nature intended?

This realization changed everything for me. After one of my dogs faced major orthopedic issues, I overhauled his diet with the help of a canine nutritionist and a canine herbalist. We switched to raw, dropped his weight, and focused on healing from the inside out. He never needed the second surgery, and he ran beside me for years — strong, lean, and pain-free.
