Delicious and creamy, quail eggs contain more yolk, fat and protein by weight, double the iron and riboflavin, and about one-third more vitamin B12 than chicken eggs! Add them to boost your dog or cat’s raw meal or as a special treat! Throw in the shell for an excellent source of calcium and crunch!

For years we have been fighting this horrible mis-information tragedy that was started by the Hill's sponsored Tuft's University "study" that forced the FDA to create an inquiry, which then got Main Stream Media (including CBC, CTV, Global and print media in Canada)to publish lists of food "suspected of causing heart disease in dogs". These lists not only damaged Hill's competitors, they cause millions of dog owners to put their pets at risk by changing them off foods that were helping their pets, and put them on grain based foods that may harm their pets.

Here's a about the new lawsuit against Hills... Dr. Morgan is livid ...

Hopefully in 20 years, this will be the standard, and pediatric (6 months) Spay/Neuter will be the alternative.

Did you know that there are more ways to sterilize your pet than spay and neuter? Hormone-sparing sterilization maintains natural hormone levels and includes hysterectomy (for females) and vasectomy (for males). Studies show that the balance of hormones plays an important role for many parts of the body, not just for s*x organs. Spay and neuter can cause negative health and behavior outcomes, which depend on several factors, such as breed, age, and more.

Just a little chuckle... a post from last year came up in my "Memories"...

More truth... real food is better for puppies.

📖Did you know that puppies raised on a raw diet have a lower likelihood of developing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) later in life compared to those raised on a dry food diet?⁠
⁠
👩‍🔬This fact stems from a comprehensive 2021 study, which gathered data through an extensive survey involving over 7,000 dogs. The primary objective was to explore the connection between early-life exposures, particularly diet, and the probability of IBD in adult dogs. The findings revealed a significant correlation between a non-processed raw meat diet during early life and a reduced likelihood of IBD later on. Conversely, dogs raised on ultra-processed commercial kibble showed the opposite trend.⁠
⁠
🔬The researchers took into account various environmental and lifestyle factors from early to late postnatal periods, considering breeds predisposed to IBD and parents already affected. The study delved deeper into the crucial role of the microbiome—an aspect we at RDBK always emphasize. Interestingly, the findings aligned with the hygiene hypothesis, suggesting that avoiding exposure of a young microbiome to a diverse range of healthy microbes might lead to an underdeveloped and dysfunctional immune system due to excessive sanitation practices.⁠
⁠
👇 This article is brimming with valuable information and insights into your pet's microbiome health and the contributing factors to chronic IBD. Click the link 🔗 below to delve into it!

🤔 Has your dog ever faced challenges with IBD, and have you observed any positive changes since introducing a raw diet?"

Sigh. Another got another panicked phone call about the "Salmonella Outbreak related to raw dog food" articles that have been published. First, not an outbreak. 40 random cases over the past 4 years, from Manitoba to PEI of salmonella.

An outbreak is a cluster of cases with a common source. This is not an "outbreak". In no instance were more than 4 people in any month affected. Second, there are no confirmed cases that are linked to raw pet food. Just a conjecture that some of the cases *might* have been exposed to raw dog food, or dogs fed a raw diet, or to cattle.

I have no doubt that these people were also exposed to other salmonella risk items, like lettuce, spinach, ground beef, or dozens of other items that may harbour bad bacteria, including dry dog foods (anyone following this page saw the recent references that show studies that found ALL dry dog foods they tested carry bad bacteria.

So ANY of these are the possible cause of each of these separate, unrelated individual infections. The PHAC article references how to properly handle raw pet foods, recommendations we make with any of our new raw feeding clients, and all common sense raw meat handling procedures, whether it be pet food or people food.

Please, do not be alarmed by this "report", it is not an "outbreak", and you are not at risk from a bad batch of raw pet food. I'm not sure who was responsible for creating this, but it sure stinks of corporate/political influence through lobbying by those that are against the truth of raw feeding.

Please read the article below, rather than the "news" feeds, and you will see that this is not an outbreak, not are there any concrete links to raw dog food, just unsubstantiated conjecture.d conjecture.

An outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to an outbreak in the United States is under investigation.

It's eating season! 🍽️

Our black bears and grizzly bears are in hyperphagia, a period of increased feeding activity that bears undergo to build up fat before entering their dens for winter. In order to help them with the weight gain they need for torpor, the bears have been eating gradually increasing amounts of food over the past few months, including a fan favourite - chicken! 🍗

Thanks to our friends at Perfectly Raw for supplying the bears in our care with the raw chicken nutrition they need to bulk up for their winter sleep 🐔

What’s your favourite seasonal food? Let us know in the comments!
