Local stores don't tend to focus on functional use, safe or practical products best for working with your dog and keeping them healthy. In addition there is a lot of mixed information out there that is very confusing to pet owners.
I have compiled this for you to simplify and give you the most practical and quality product to use with our dog and keep them healthy.
​
Most recommendations are BC or Alberta businesses that I have used personally.

NAILS:
- Dremels​​

If feeding raw:

​​Give safe recreational/consumable raw bones that are safe for your dog ​(depending on age, experience, size and breed)

Your dog will likely need scaling and professional cleaning intervention but the goal is prevent buildup and the need for vet cleaning with general anesthesia

It's very difficult to find a trustworthy company with balanced, vet approved and complete raw food
-
We feed Perfectly Raw to our own dogs, Perfectly raw has their own vet on staff and can be ordered from https://www.onpointraw.ca (delivery to Kelowna monthly)

Some vets will assist you in recommending raw food companies or guide you in what to feed and make on your own for your dogs needs

Carnivoria is another brand I suggest but is very costly for medium to large breed dogs
-
​Crudo is another brand that I suggest
