Why Make The Switch To Real Food?
Debbie had all kinds of health problems while eating a standard kibble diet. Some of her problems got so bad her vet recommended a $10k surgery to help alleviate her pain. Instead, her diet was changed to real food and she has not had a single health problem since. Fur is thick, nails are shiny, body fat percentage is lower, energy is high! Debbie is a completely different dog.
ABOUT DEBBIE
Debbie is a 4-year-old French Bulldog. Her breed naturally has problems because of their body type and genetic short falls. Her barrel body and short legs make spinal and joint problems. Her short nose makes it harder to breath, her digestion wasn’t always the best, and she is allergy prone. Two and a half years ago her diet was changed and the problems went away. She has not had any painful flair up of her spine or joints. She likes to go on 1–2-mile walks every day without breathing issues, she chases tennis balls, and can jump 40 inches. She has solid poops once a day, usually at the same time every day
FAQ's
Dogs need about 15 calories per pound of body weight per day. In other words, a 10 lbs. dog needs 150 calories, 20 lbs. dog needs 300 calories, etc. Debbie is a 30 lbs. dog so all meals are sized for her, about 450-500 calories. Some variables would be if your dog is a puppy, pregnant, or extremely active. We recommend you consult with your vet to ensure the perfect calorie needs for your dog! If you have questions, we would love to help you directly, just email us
We suggest mixing our food with your current food for the first week or two. You can divide one meal up into a couple days. After your dog accepts the change, switch to a 100% real food diet.
We keep her meals in the freezer and place a meal in the fridge the day before its needed so it can thaw out. Debbie is pretty active so she eats one full meal a day. Around 10am she gets her first half of a meal and then the last half around 4pm every day.
YES! This is one thing that separates us from everyone else. Dogs love a warm meal just as much as humans do. For that reason, we use packaging that is safe for the microwave. We recommend about 30 seconds in the microwave, mix it around, let it cool, and serve in your dog bowl! You can also heat the meals from frozen – just takes a little longer to defrost in the microwave.
Debbie’s meals are frozen immediately, as long as they stay frozen the shelf life is over a year. Once your meal is thawed out, it will last about a week after opening the package.
Debbie’s favorite snack is the trimmings from whatever Dad is cooking every night, so small pieces of steak fat, chicken, salmon, and turkey. She also loves cottage cheese with blueberries. Greek yogurt with peanut butter is her favorite dessert! You don’t want to over feed your dog, especially before bed, so keep these snacks very small
