GOOD HERBS

Use fresh herbs when possible

Persille – husk at dette ikke må genvarmes

Parsley rids the body of bladder and kidney infections, cleanses the blood, operates as a blood thinner, builds the immune system, prevents cancer and improves stomach and liver functions. Although parsley shouldn't be used while animals are nursing, it's beneficial to help dogs stop lactating and to treat afterbirth pains. Parsley is rich in vitamins, potassium and other minerals. Once or twice a week, parsley can be added to your dog's daily meals. This will cleanse the kidneys and help fight disease.

Lidt hvidløg

Garlic has many health enhancing effects such as aiding digestion, eliminating internal and external parasites, stimulating immune functions and increasing killer cell activity, lowering blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and acting as a a tonic for the cardiovascular system. Fresh garlic also has powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties. It has been used for thousands of years in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Holistic veterinarians have been recommending garlic for many years for its multiple health benefits.

Lidt kanel

Cinnamon is good for the heart as its calcium and fiber content is effective in fighting heart diseases. Cinnamon is noted to improve blood circulation because of its blood thinning compound content. With regular consumption, the chances of canine heart disorders will be significantly reduced. Moreover, with good blood circulation, the supply of oxygen to the different cells of the body is ensured giving the dog the capability for higher metabolic activity. As mentioned, cinnamon has antifungal and antibacterial properties thus it is highly effective in dealing with external and internal infections.

Lidt tranebær

Some dogs, particularly females, can be prone to urinary tract infections. These can be just as uncomfortable for dogs as they are for people, and prevention is the key. Cranberry on a regular basis can prevent the bacteria that cause urinary tract infection

Tilskud af ølgær/brewers yeast

Brewer's Yeast - Nutritional yeast has long been a staple health food substance for pets and people. Brewer's yeast is known as an excellent source of amino acids and B-complex vitamins, which assist in skin and tissue repair, help maintain proper nerve functioning, and support a healthy response to stress.

Gode ting at give fra fryseren

Lammekallun/green tripe – rig på vitaminer – god for fordøjelsen.

Tripe is the stomach of ruminating animals. These animals (i.e. cattle, buffalo, sheep, deer, goats, antelope, etc.) are classified as being four-footed, hooved, cud chewing mamals with a stomach that consists of four chambers. The four chambers of such a stomach are known as the rumen, reticulum, omasum and the abomasum. The food the animal eats (i.e. grass, hay) is swallowed unchewed and passes into the rumen and reticulum where it is then regurgitated, chewed and mixed with saliva. It is again swallowed and then passed through the reticulum and omasum into the abomasum, where it is then further broken down by the gastric juices, amino acids and other digestive enzymes. Yummy!
So how can something so disgusting, be so good? These same gastric juices and enzymes not only aid the animal in digestion, but also aid the dog in digesting and efficiently utilizing his food. The amino acids are necessary for muscular development and, the other gastric juices, I believe, are the best cleaner for their teeth!
In an analysis of a sample of green tripe by a Woodson-Tenant Lab in Atlanta, Georgia, it was discovered that the calcium:phosphorous ratio is 1:1, the overall pH is on the acidic side which is better for digestion, protein is 15.1, fat 11.7 and it contained the essential fatty acids, Linoleic and Linolenic, in their recommended proportions. Also discovered, was the presence of Lactic Acid Bacteria. Lactic Acid Bacteria, also known as Lactobacillus Acidophilus, is the good intestinal bacteria. It is the main ingredient in probiotics.
Finally, because of it’s rubbery texture, serving it in large chunks also aids the canine in strengthening it’s jaw muscles and has an added benefit as a form of canine dental floss
Chose sources from GRASSFED and ORGANIC animals that are USDA inspected and passed for Human Consumption. They are antibiotic free and no hormones have been added.

Rensdyr og hjort

Nogle mener, at hjort kan være hårdt for maven at fordøje, men er nok et af de dyr, som indeholder mest essentielle fedtsyrer pga af levevilkår (naturlig føde fra skoven). Rensdyr lever af lav, som jo er naturlig penicillin, så mange sløje hunde kan fungere rigtig godt på rensdyr. Begge dele er super sund mad; nok de mest autentiske kødsorter vi har. (modsat vores græssende dyr, som kommer på stald om vinteren)

IT WILL KEEP THE MOTOR RUNNING :-)

dog food

we as kennel are very much intrested in feeding the best of the best. It can be very difficult to tell the difference between facts and BS in this business - but we find these 2 websites very helpful

http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/

http://www.dogfoodproject.com/

please do your dogs the honor of learning more about the food you are feeding. Read the ingredienslist and not the lips of the sales person - not even if the sales person is your vet....

you should avoid food that are build on animal bi-product, corn, rice and soy ´+ preservatives such as BHA, BHT and ETOXYQIN - these are often hidden under the label EEC-APROVED.

BHA
Butylated Hydroxysanisole - a white, waxy phenolic antioxidant, C11H16O2, used to preserve fats and oils, especially in foods. Banned from human use in many countries but still permitted in the US. Possible human carcinogen, apparently carcinogenic in animal experiments. The oxidative characteristics and/or metabolites of BHA and BHT may contribute to carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity.

BHT Butylated Hydroxytoluene - a crystalline phenolic antioxidant, C15H24O, used to preserve fats and oils, especially in foods. Banned from human use in many countries but still permitted in the US. Possible human carcinogen, apparently carcinogenic in animal experiments. The oxidative characteristics and/or metabolites of BHA and BHT may contribute to carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity.

Ethoxyquin 6-ethoxy-1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline. Antioxidant; also a post-harvest dip to prevent scald on apples and pears. Originally developed as a stabilizer for rubber, Ethoxyquin has also been used as a pesticide for fruit and a color preservative for spices, and later for animal feed. The original FDA permit for use as stabilizer in animal feed limited use to two years and did not include pet food, but it falls under the same legal category. It has never been proven to be safe for the lifespan of a companion animal.It has been linked to thyroid, kidney, reproductive and immune related illnesses as well as cancer, but so far no conclusive, reliable research results either for the safety of this product or against it have not been obtained. -
Propyl Gallate Also known as Gallic Acid or Propyl Ester. It is made from natural Gallic Acid, which is obtained by the hydrolysis of tannins from Tara Pods. Used as an antioxidant to stabilize cosmetics, food packaging materials, and foods containing fats. I have not found conclusive evidence either for or against the safety of this product, but it is suspected of causing liver diseases and cancer, so once again personally I prefer to err on the side of caution. Mixed tocopherols, citric acid and rosemary extract are effective, all-natural alternatives - just more expensive.
