Feeding Guidelines
Good health begins with proper feeding. Earthborn Holistic can help maintain your dog’s health when combined with exercise, veterinary care, and controlling intake of other food and treats. Use this chart as a guide, adjusting as necessary to maintain optimal weight. Portions will vary according to age, breed, temperament and environment. When introducing Earthborn Holistic, mix increasing amounts of Earthborn Holistic with decreasing amounts of the current food over a 7 to 10-day period. During gestation and lactation, feed 2 to 4 times the portions recommended for the weight of your adult dog. Puppies often begin to eat solid foods at 3 to 4 weeks of age. Food can be served dry or with warm water (3 parts food to 1 part water). Offer clean, fresh water at all times. See your veterinarian regularly.

Why Grain-Free Dog Food?
Grain-free vs grain dog food… How do you pick one? All of our grain-free dog food recipes are also gluten free which make them great options for dogs with grain or gluten allergies. If you’re looking for a high protein grain-free dog food recipe, Primitive Natural is a great choice and is also crafted with L-Carnitine to help burn fat and maintain lean muscle mass. Added essential vitamins and minerals make this grain-free recipe great for adults or puppies.
Superfoods for Dogs
When it comes to healthy ingredients for dogs, superfoods are at the top of our list. Sweet potato, blueberries, apples, and pumpkin in dog food are all examples of healthy foods for dogs that come together with high quality meat proteins to help create a complete and balanced diet. Fruits and veggies aren’t just for humans–fruits and vegetables for dogs are just as helpful as a part of their daily diets and make for healthy additives to dog food. No need for any artificial additives when you have things like the benefits of apples and the benefits of carrots to keep your dog or puppy happy and healthy.
