100% Raw Whole Pet Food

At Trailrunners we feed our own dogs and cats whole raw pet food, which includes raw meats, organ meats, raw fruits and vegetables, pulverized fresh bone and marrow, Whole fish, in addition to various health-enhancing supplements. This has to be done right with proper hygiene, it is not something to do experimentally without study.

Why do we feed this way? In nature the canine and feline creatures in the wild eat not only the meat of the animals they get, but also the semi- digested fruit and vegetables that their "kill" had eaten. This makes them not "carnivores," but in fact "omnivores".

For optimum heath many experts and pet-lovers alike have discovered that the COMPLETE raw pet diet is what animals thrive on, as well as LOVE to eat.

The diet of whole raw food eliminates bad pet breath, and drastically reduces odor and volume in their feces as well. Their teeth stay clean and white and coats are very nice. Even kitty litter boxes become virtually odor free, just ask our kids who have had cats in their rooms for some time and have enjoyed the air quality much more since they made the switch to raw food! Their cats are noticeably calmer and more amiable.

Benefits (OF A PROPERLY BALANCED RAW DIET) include lose unwanted fat, gain increased muscle mass, tartar will disappear on teeth, many skin problems will disappear, infected ears clear up, anal sack problems disappear, greater mobility, arthritis often disappears or is reduced, reproductive problems clear up, increased fertility and milk production, insulin balances again, Nomalizing effect on bone growth in young dogs, calmer and more easily trained dogs, dogs are less prone to erratic and unpredictible beaviour. Pets eating the Raw diet tend to live longer than their kibble fed counterparts, and are less likely to develop cancer or any of the other degenerative diseases which plague modern pets. The "BARF" diet (This diet is sometimes called the Bones And Raw Food Diet) has had major success with remissions of many tumors.

We have seen this diet reverse both minor and major health ailments in ours and client's dogs. However, the greatest reason we promote and feed this diet is that we are concerned about our pet's and Trailrunners working dogs' LONG TERM health and LONGEVITY, and the GENETIC POOL that they will pass on into their FUTURE GENERATIONS as well. We want the health benefits to be passed into the pups we sell and hope that future owners of Trailrunners pups and dogs will continue in raw whole food feeding. We can recommend sources and supppliers of this type of food.

If you board your dog with us, or are sending it for a stay at the Pet Resort you can request this diet as well, or you can bring your dog's preferred food for it to eat on its stay. We also can provide ORIJEN kibble For the convenience of kibble, or for travelling, the only food which we have found that comes close to the so called BARF diet, is ORIJEN. Pet owners we know are having similar positive healing results with this food as with the BARF Diet. ORIJEN is made in Northern Alberta using all whole fresh ingredients, and not grain or potentially harmful chemicals, or remanufactured (man made) vitamins and minerals. It is the only pet food company that we know of that INVITES the resellers (like us, Trailrunners) of their products to tour the plant and see it all, something that 99% of pet food companies would dread to have happen! to find out why they wouldn't, click below...
