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:

• Instruction and Theory Video​

• Dremels​​

  • Small dog​

  • Large dog

TEETH:

• If feeding raw:

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

    • Teach calm for brushing with manual and electric toothbrush with dog toothpaste

    • Check Teeth Regularly, brush as needed 

  • If you feeding ​dry processed kibble:

    • Brush daily with​ manual or electric toothbrush

    • 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 

    • Dental chews and supplements in the water can slow  build up​

DIET:

• We highly suggest a species appropriate, non processed raw diet for your ​dog

• 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
