πΆ A dogβs olfactory performance can be enhanced by feeding a diet formulated for a canine athlete participating in scent detection sports or work. The nutritional requirements established for dogs do not factor in the unique requirements for large amounts of exercise or promoting olfactory efficiency.
π There are multiple components to creating a diet that is suitable for a Scent Detection Athlete which include:
π Scent Detection Exercise Analysis
There are several exercise variables that classify scent detection dogs into the appropriate canine athlete category.
π Micronutrients for Scent Detection Athletes
There is an increased nutritional need for multiple essential nutrients to support optimal olfactory performance and provide antioxidant benefits.
π Macronutrients for Scent Detection Athletes
The nutritional requirements for energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates are identified by the NRC.
π Food Timing & Medication Precautions
The timing of food and medications given to a scent detection canine has an effect on olfactory performance.

πΆ Kessel is the newest member of our Perfectly Rawsome pack & he is a 12 week old American Staffordshire Terrier.
π₯ In this video, you see how Ronny begins introducing the concept of a trade to reduce stress & any potential guarding of a high value item.
π₯© Raw food can be incredibly high value to a dog & the amount of time the dog possesses the item, increases the itemβs value. It is very common to hear of dogs guarding their new raw diet because of the intrinsic reinforcement it provides.
π Kessel is still learning how to eat his raw meaty bones & because he is a young puppy, Ronny has provided a chicken frame/carcass with wings still attached for him to enjoy. While Kesselβs jaw strength develops, chicken frames & wings are a softer RMB that will not only be a source of essential nutrients like calcium & phosphorus, but the tearing, gnawing, & crunching of the flesh & bone also provide an enriching experience.
β² Because this is too much bone for one sitting, the chicken frames & wings are removed after Kessel has eaten enough. Offering RMBs in larger portions like this can help reduce the risk of your dog or puppy choking from swallowing the item whole.
π Ronny has previously owned a dog with severe resource guarding tendencies, so she always encourages owners to work on their βtrade gameβ with their dogs. The trade shows your dog you are taking one item away & replacing it with another. When beginning trade training, start small like trading a toy for a treat & then a chew for a yummy or higher value treat.
β οΈ Do not expect your dog to succeed at trading raw food without first practicing the trade game with lower value items.

π Many photos of raw meals look too "perfect" or "pretty" which can overwhelm pet parents who are considering a raw diet for their pet. Although these photos are a great example to show individual ingredients in a meal, it is an unrealistic view of everyday life for the majority of raw feeders. Therefore we created Messy Bowl Monday as a way to showcase real life examples of raw meals for dogs and cats!
πΎ Today's meal for Ronny's 3 year old German Shorthaired Pointer, Quest. Quest is 77lbs and is currently eating 1200kcal a day, from his NRC balanced DIY meals, 750kcal from balanced raw premade food, and an additional 200kcal from freeze-dried raw food during training.
πΆ Quest is a sport performance dog with a primary focus in tracking & scent detection. His diet is strategically formulated to promote olfactory cooling to enhance his scenting ability. This means his diet is higher in essential fatty acids & minerals than typically used in an average pet dog diet. Additionally, to manage Quest's GERD, foods high in saturated fat have been eliminated from his diet, so monounsaturated & polyunsaturated fats are supplied for energy.

πͺ Watch Michelle meal prep a specialised cooked diet for her 8 year old Ibizan Hound, Mabel. Mabel currently weighs 41lbs & eats 1200kcal a day.
π£ This video contains a voice-over. Text provided belowβ¦
π This is a custom cooked therapeutic diet for Protein-Losing Enteropathy (PLE) & Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). PLE requires a diet ultra low in fat- especially long chain fatty acids (like EPA/DHA). This diet is also low in EPA/DHA until Mabelβs blood work is out of the danger zone.
π Mabelβs current diet includes more supplements than the average healthy pet requires because not only is this a custom therapeutic plan, but she is also on a bit of an elimination diet to figure out which proteins cause flare ups.
π₯£ To this bowl, Michelle has added the following supplements:
π NOW Calcium Carbonate
π Nutritional Yeast
π Solgar Folate
π NOW Zinc Picolinate
π Thorne Iron
π° Chia Seeds
π NOW Kelp
π Solgar Manganese
π Hawthorne Berry Powder
π NOW CoQ10
π Bluebonnet Amino Acid Complex
β Added daily:
π NOW Vitamin D
π Solgar B12 drops
π NOW Vitamin E Oil
π₯£ For this recipe, Michelle will be feeding:
π Cooked Beef Liver
π Cooked Chicken Breast
π¦ Cooked Lean Ground Turkey
π Cooked Quinoa
π₯¬ Green Veggie Mash
β€οΈ So far, Mabel has been doing incredibly well on this diet!

golden lamb bone broth in the making...let's talk a little bit about the bone broth making process. I get asked "Why is it cooking for so long? Why such a low temp?". To get a super nutritious bone broth, low and slow is the way to go. Why? The optimal goal for a bone broth is to achieve a gelatinous consistency when the broth cools. This only happens at low and slow temperatures which converts collagen into gelatin protein (the gel consistency). A rolling boil destroys the collagen which creates a liquid STOCK not a bone broth. How do I know its done? The bones literally crumble when you tap it with a spoon. Strain, cool, serve, enjoy π
