Nutrition is a very important aspect of a dog's well-being, often impacting his overall health and in many instances, his behaviour.

We use and recommend a holistically based diet and proper nutritional supplements. In many cases, switching to such a diet will avoid extensive veterinary expenses, by preventing many health problems associated with poor nutrition. We also use this diet with our rescue program, Boxer Rescue of Quebec and for our show boxers at PortoVilla Kennels.


DIETS WE RECOMMEND:


EAGLEPACK HOLISTIC kibble based diet, with holistic supplements, Nzymes & fresh fruits/veggies:

We have had great success feeding Eaglepack Holistic with all our dogs, whether it be rescue dogs or our own pets and show dogs. This diet along with the Nzymes products has completely eliminated our dog Jada's recurring urinary tract infections for many years now. It is a healthier alternative to veterinary based diets in many cases, and is well worth investigating. Eaglepack products contain only human grade and organic ingredients with multiple protein sources for building muscle mass (the heart being the biggest muscle in the body!). Also incorporated in the foods are many important supplements such as friendly yogurt-like cultures(probiotics), digestive enzymes and glucosamine HCL, just to name a few. These may benefit your beloved pet in many different areas: coat condition, allergic reactions such as skin irritations (which are actually a symptom of systemic yeast infection), intestinal flora, urinary tract health(and other recurring secondary bacterial infections), bloat, digestive upset, immune system, diabetes, etc... Poor quality kibble such as the ones found in supemarkets do not have this nutritional background. As a result, various problems may occur such as digestive problems, urinary tract infections, itchy/flaky skin, extreme shedding, ear infections, yeast infections, just to name a few. 

The Nzymes products will boost & restore your pet's immune system as well as establish a proper balance of bacteria in their system. Digestive & dietary enzymes are needed in your dog's food as they are missing from all commercial pet foods. Even the best foods do not retain enough enzymes for optimum health. Once on Nzymes, you will start noticing  your pet feeling better & having more energy. That is the first sign that your pet is getting better from the inside out.  Allergy-like symptoms and coat/skin problems usually start clearing up within the first few weeks on the products.

Other foods we recommend: Fromm, Wellness, Wysong, Innova, Prism ( affordable premium pet food )
