Fellow dog owners who have watched their dogs’ (or other pets) suffer the miseries of food intolerances and the seemingly endless cycle of scratching, raw skin, ear infections, smelly feet, vomiting, diarrhoea, vet’s visits, testing, medications, side effects of medications ....may be familiar with the heartache. Such heartache led our founder, Jan, to seek a more holistic approach to help her suffering dog and the path to raw feeding was discovered.
