Do You Recommend Raw Dog Food? Do You Sell Raw Dog Food.

I am a huge fan of raw and fresh food (homemade) diets. Many benefits for many dogs! But sometimes we find a light cook may be an option we need to consider. I am an affiliate for Volhard Dog Nutrition & can consult with you on what your dog may need. The foods are ordered online & delivered directly to your door. I am certified in K9 Nutrition & able to help you sort out the best options to consider for your pet. Thanks for asking!

Here are just a few things we noticed IMMEDIATELY after switching to Volhard. NO more itching! Our pups would bite at their feet, have watery eyes and itch quit a bit. This STOPPED within a week of using this food. NO more middle of the night yard visits. Our pups poop is normal now. ALL THE TIME! no more bouts of diarrhea, no gas, and less to pick up. And NO MORE SCOOTING! Our dogs just don’t “scoot” anymore!!! NO more leftovers! Our pups LOVE this food. They eat it up!!! It may be a bit more expensive than kibble. But is it really? When you count ALL the vet visits and medications to stop of the other things happening. It ends up being far less expensive than paying for all the other things caused by your store bought kibble. We are BELIEVERS in this food!!!

We LOVED working with Dana! She has such a way with dogs, and we learned so much when she came to help us train our new puppy. As others have said, so much of what she does is about training people - teaching us to help our puppers know what's expected, what's acceptable. and what's not. Her methods just work, and now that our pup has moved to the city we are so grateful for the solid foundation she helped us form.

I have a 16 1/2 year old Jack Russell who has always been an anxious girl. She is scared of loud noises such as motorcycles going by the house, thunderstorms, and fireworks! She also panics when I leave her at home for work. After watching one of Dana’s videos on different essential oils for health and wellness of dogs, I tried using a little of the oil on Josie’s collar when I was leaving and it has helped. Dana is wonderful about responding to my questions and concerns!

We have a 3 1/2 yr old Great Dane that we got when living in upstate New York. Moving back south, he had no clue what a thunderstorm was-And how severe they sound. He has been terrified. It even spread to him being afraid of lawn equipment noises. Thanks to Dana, she gave me some techniques to use as well as suggesting oils that would help. He is improving greatly and his anxiety doesn’t last as long now. It’s a process for him, but she has been wonderful talking me through things and reassuring me of how to proceed. I highly recommend her for training, as well as behavioral concerns, and especially the integration of oils into your dog and family lifestyle!

We have two dogs (ages 10 and 6) who lived together in peace and harmony for more than five years -- until the day they didn't! Instead of "re-homing" one of them, as advised by our vet and others, we looked for professional help and found Dana. Thank goodness! She has not only helped us with understanding and re-directing our dogs' behavior, but has given us the confidence and tools to take control of our "pack". This has not only helped with dog-dog interaction, but with dog-human interaction, eliminating the chaos around mealtimes and walks. We thought we were hiring a dog trainer - what we got was a people trainer. Dana's guidance has made an immeasurable positive difference in our household. I am so grateful and wholeheartedly recommend Dana Brigman and The K9 Coach Carolinas.
