FEEDING
Arundawn try hard to encourage the feeding of a natural diet. We very strongly believe that a healthy, natural and balanced diet is imperative for long term health in dogs - both mental and physical
Almost all our dogs have been fed a natural, raw meat and bone diet for several years now and we have seen the benefits over and over ...
​
· Improvements in coat, skin and other major health conditions
· Helping to encourage a calm and balanced outlook by reducing excitability and anxiety
· Often temperament imbalances can be much improved with the removal of artificial food content in their diet
​
Of course, some dogs have different requirements or cannot tolerate a raw diet and we have used two companies who produce a fabulous cooked diet, frozen and delivered to the door with great success - also detailed below.
​
The only dry food that we really feel confident to include is produced by a British company called Eden Pet Foods which is an 80/20 fresh meat food and can be incorporated into feeding with a raw diet or cooked.
​
Below are a list of companies which Arundawn have found to provide a good quality and reliable service
(in alphabetical order)
​
The Dogs Butcher
​
Not all dogs can be put on a raw diet, so we also support the use of Butternut Box - a cooked and frozen quality food and also Pure which is a dehydrated raw for travelling and is another high quality healthy alternative.
There are several 'dry' and complete foods nowadays that are also carefully selected and although we rarely use we would recommend taking a look at them IF you are not able to feed a raw / freezer stored food .. a few examples below
​
We also encourage the use of natural 'treats' for our dogs - dried sprats, sea jerky (Not Salmon) , dried liver, pizzles, tripe sticks etc
​
We (with full permission) have condensed the Honey's guide to Raw Feeding to make this more manageable for those who are not yet familiar with it .. this can be found here in the form of a PDF so please click this link (pdf)
​​
100% Liver Treats from Beautiful Joe's are a fabulous training treat and raise money for rescue dogs around the country from proceeds of their sales.
​
Pure Paté from JR Pet Products is made from 100% fresh meat.
​
A large range of 100% natural dog treats can be found on the Dog Treats UK website and these are all responsibly sourced rather than the produce of China etc as so many shop bought supposed natural treats are!
​
Please NEVER give your dog RawHide ... it is NOT hide and immensely dangerous for your dog! Please research if unsure.
