In speaking with a number of professionals in the farming industry we learned that animals are not meant to ingest grains or corn. Grain fed cattle have the type of atmosphere in their stomach that e-coli is resistant to. Grass fed on the other hand have neutral PH stomachs that greatly reduces the survival of the e-coli bacteria. When fed large amounts of corn, cattle, develop acid buildup and ulcers which can deteriorate the gut lining and this can cause gas, bloating and lameness.

We are proud to say that we are locally sourcing our grass fed beef from a farm in Ontario. The farm we are obtaining our beef from feed their cattle a variety of natural and organic foods such as grasses, legumes, and minerals. Year round the cattle are offered kelp, minerals, and diatomaceous earth (a finely ground shell) to ensure the health of their immune systems, aid in digestion and reduce the risk of parasites. You will notice that grass fed beef is easily distinguishable as the meat has a floral yet earthy fragrance.

Below we will show you the benefits of feeding grass fed, antibiotic and hormone free beef versus grain fed beef and also some of the consequences or possible adverse effects that feeding grain based foods can have on your pet’s health.

This product is frozen fresh. Thaw and serve raw.  Do not cook, and do not feed kibble while feeding a raw diet: bones will become brittle from cooking and could cause the dog to choke; kibble has a tendency to neutralize the ph level in your pet resulting in an opportunity for bacteria to develop, making your pet ill.  Clean bowls, utensils, and hands as you would when handling any raw meat product.
