Regardless of what type of diet you feed, chances are high that you will need to round out the diet with a variety of vitamins, minerals and/or antioxidants. We provide only the best of the best human grade supplements and believe that safety and integrity are key when it comes to neutraceuticals.

We all know just how important the assimilation of nutrients is to our dogs and cat.  Whether you are feeding a raw diet for dogs, a home cooked diet or a commercial diet, if all those good building blocks going in aren't being absorbed, then your pet is not really getting the good nutrition he needs.  Whether your dog has IBS, IBD, malabsorption, gastritis or pancreatitis... or whether you have a senior dog and you want to be sure that he is getting all the nutrients he needs... or whether you are just switching to a raw food diet and your pet needs a little help in the beginning... we can help.

Is the phrase "the dog did it" all too common in your home?  Is your pet plagued by loose stools or constipation?  Are you obsessed by poop?  We can help here too!

As always, proper diagnosis is essential to proper care for your pet.  Whenever your dog is experiencing symptoms, please visit the vet.

Green supplements are a perfect way to round out any diet (raw, cooked or commercial) with the addition of quality micro minerals that are found in nature. With the addition of minerals and antioxidants, green supplements are a very safe way to provide powerful nutrition on a daily basis. Well known for thyroid support and in assisting in pigmentation, green supplements are something that should be in every dog and cat's diet.

Whether your dog is 100% healthy or he is immune compromised (which includes allergy dogs who have immune systems that are hyper-reactive to the environment), supporting the immune system naturally is the very best way to help our pets lead long and healthy lives. Here you will find some supplements to help you do just that!

With so many dogs experiencing strains, sprains, arthritis, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, OCD and the like, K9 Raw Diet is very happy to offer products to assist your dog in achieving a better quality of life.  We have been there ourselves!  One of our Chows (from a BYB) was diagnosed with early and severe hip dysplasia and through a long series of trial and error with supplements, our girl lived to over 14 years of age without the use of drugs and while living an excellent quality of life.  It can happen.  And we're here to help.

Any human who has a pet with liver disease (or other conditions which result in a compromised liver) knows that finding solid information on how to help her pet is few and far between. We have been through liver issues and we have done much of the research for you! Here you will find just some of the supplements that are beneficial to those with liver compromised pets and if you have further questions or need further assistance, please do shoot us an email. We are always happy to help.

Omega 3's are essential to EVERY diet. All diets are naturally high in omega 6 fatty acids and while omega 6's are essential, we need to really focus on adding in the omega 3's to help balance out the diet. Omega 6's are pro-inflammatory, omega 3's are anti-inflammatory. Whether or not you (or your pet) has an inflammatory condition (auto-immune condition, allergies, degenerative joint diseases), omega 3's are invaluable when it comes to overall health and function.

In nature, our dogs are getting their omega 3 fatty acids from the naturally reared meats they consume in the wild. Think about it: every animal protein a dog eats in the wild is naturally reared. And these are where the omega 3's come from. Yes they are found in abundance in fish (and it's another reason why we love fish, especially fatty fish, as a protein for dogs) but it's the naturally reared meats that are biologically appropriate. We at K9 Raw Diet only feed naturally reared meats but we still supplement with omega 3's for their anti-inflammatory effects (not to mention the luster they provide to skin and coat!).

As a side note: we do NOT carry any flax oils and there's a good reason for this. While flax seed oil does have omega 3 fatty acid, the form that is in flax is ALA. ALA is a plant based omega 3 that needs to be broken down (within the body) into EPA and DHA. This is not natural to the dog and most dogs cannot do this. Of course this makes perfect sense since dogs do not get their omega 3's from plants in the wild so they do not have a biological need to perform this task. Rather, they get their EPA and DHA from naturally reared animal sources.

In addition, flax seed oil makes Many a dog itchy and scratch in addition to also providing yet more omega 6 fatty acids. What is good for humans is not always appropriate for dogs and this is a case where if you want to supply omega 3's to your pet, please do not use flax as a source. For those reasons, we carry only omega 3 sources that are biologically appropriate for your dogs and cats.

If your dog or cat is having skin or coat issues, here's your place! Starting with a sound diet, here are some supplements you can use to naturally support and approve the appearance and texture of your pet's skin and coat. Whether it's dry, dull, pigment challenged or just isn't right, it's time to start the path to a better coat.

Tip of the day: make SURE you are using good quality natural coat products on your pet. If your shampoo contains SLS or SLSa, ditch it! Only natural products and good quality conditioners are appropriate for your pet's fur. Got a question? Email us your shampoo's ingredient list and we'll help you decipher it.

Sometimes our pets need a little something to help them get over the edge and remain calm during certain situations. There are a million pharmaceuticals on the market today, but we prefer to use something 100% natural, all human grade and non-habit forming. If your pet is noise phobic, has trouble in the car or experiences nervous situations, look no further.
