Acana Line Expansion

Champion Pet Foods makes Orijen and Acana - two of our best selling grain free foods. Produced in Canada and filled with fresh pasture raised meat, wild caught fish and locally sourced fruit, vegetables and herbs. Champion calls their foods Biologically Appropriate for cart and dogs. We call it awesome! It feed beautifully and you can know that your dog is eating a healthy meal. 

Yesterday we just received the newest foods to enter the Acana line. These three new foods follow Champion Pet Foods Biologically Appropriate foundation as well as what they call "Nature's Rules"

1. Divers and fresh ingredients

2. Meat and protein rich

3. Carbohydrate limited

4. Fresh fruits and vegetables

5. Botanicals to cleanse the body 

The three new foods are yummy fresh protein sources with steel cut locally grown oats. Oats are a healthy carbohydrate and lower on the glycemic index than rice, corn and sweet potato. 

Chicken and Burbank Potato - loaded with free-run Cobb chicken, Burbank potatoes and wild-caught flounder.

Lamb and Okanagan Apple - this Limited Ingredient Formula includes ranch raised New Zealand lamb and 10% Red Delicious Apples

Duck and Bartlett Pear - this Limited Ingredient Formula includes 50% duck as a single source of protein and fresh Bartlett Pears from British Colombia's Okanagan Valley. 

We are excited about these foods and even though we feed a raw meat based diet at our home - my pups have been enjoying the Duck and Bartlett Pear food the last couple days. 

The Champion Petfoods website is full of great information on pet nutrition. I find this a really good read if you are at all interested in animal nutrition - Orijen White Paper

Stop in snd check out the new stuff - we have samples for your pup!

Nature's Logic Raw Food in store!!

We have decided to bring in the Nature's Logic Raw Food. We already carry this brand in the dry and canned formula. It is our second best selling food at Immortal Dog. 

There is a new trend in the raw food industry. Many brands are jumping onto High Pressure Processing. High Pressure Processing (HPP) is a method of food processing where food is subjected to elevated pressures, with or without the addition of heat, to achieve microbial inactivation or to alter the food attributes in order to achieve consumer-desired qualities. Basically this process is used to kill bad bacteria that may or may not be present in these foods. Basically this is pasteurization. We believe that pasteurization changes the food and it is not truly raw at this point.

We support raw food companies that use high quality meats processed in a way that ensures food safety. We want our pets to eat the foods nature intended. This is why we are adding Nature's Logic to our raw food freezer. They also do not use any synthetic vitamins and minerals - all of their ingredients are from nature. 

This line includes Beef, Rabbit and Chicken. There meats are sourced in the US and New Zealand. The rabbit is Wild Hare - not factory raised. The great thing about these raw diets is that they are formulated for Canine and Feline!

We are excited about this line and will have samples for you to take home to your pets.

Add in some raw food!

Here at Immortal Dog we believe the best way to feed your pet is a raw diet. This is what our dogs are designed to eat and flourish on.

Dogs are designed as carnivores.

♦ Teeth that rip and tear

♦ Jaws that are hinged to open and close, not move side to side

♦ Short, straight digestive tract

♦ Opportunistic Hunters – they hunt but not always successful

♦ When unable to eat fresh kill, will eat a variety of available options - opportunistic omnivore

♦ Dogs have evolved to eat what was available to them.  They now produce amylase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates

♦ Dogs do not thrive on carbohydrates, but they can survive on them.

We know that two things make people wary of raw feeding - price and convenience. We have a great brand in store that is easy to feed and has some of the best prices out there on raw diets. 

Northwest Naturals is a family owned and operated business based on family values. Our parent company began in the meat business in 1956, providing high quality meats for grocery and restaurant use. NW Naturals is made with the same high quality; USDA inspected and approved meats, in our USDA inspected facility, under the same processing regulations, that apply to our human food products. As we continue to grow, our commitment is to produce a quality product for your pet’s health.

For smaller dogs they have 6lb bags of nuggets that defrost quickly and are available in many protein options. The 6lb bag of chicken or turkey nuggets are $20 and bison is $24. These are also great to use as a topper for kibble fed dogs - even adding in some raw can be helpful. 

For larger dogs they have 25lb boxes of 1lb dinner bars that snap into pieces and thaw very quickly. These are a special order item and make feeding your larger dog less expensive. 

Right now in store we have free 1lb dinner bars in beef and chicken. Stop in and get one. We would love talk to you about how your dog can benefit from a raw diet and how you can add raw in an affordable way!

Protect those feet!

Baby it's cold outside! With this weather comes snow, ice, chemical de-icer and salt. Protect your pets feet!

Last year Sophie and Toby had some paw pain and irritation from chemical de-icers put down by our neighborhood school. We started using Musher's Secret every time we go out!

Musher's Secret is a dense, barrier wax that forms a breathable bond with your dog's paws. Developed in Canada for use with sledding dogs, it provides tenacious protection even in the most extreme conditions.

Made from a blend of several food-grade waxes, then refined according to our our own special formulations, Musher's Secret is the safe, non-toxic way to protect your dog's paws.  The semi-permeable shield is absorbed into the paws, allowing perspiration to escape through the toes.

Protect your dog from:
Salt and Chemicals
Ice build-up
Snowballing
Sand and sand burn
Hot pavement
Rough terrain
