CUSTOMIZED MENU Fresh. Simple. Affordable.
Treat your dog\’s health conditions through food!
Every ingredient in our Customized Menu is selected for not only what it contributes nutritionally, but for it\’s healing properties. It\’s been our experience many health conditions improve significantly once low quality, commercial dog foods are removed from your dog\’s diet. We\’ve also seen medications work better when your dog eats the right high-quality fresh, whole foods. Some dogs no longer need medications to treat the condition or need significantly less to accomplish the same goal.
CUSTOMIZED MENU DETAILS
Our Customized Menus are designed to treat both acute and chronic health conditions that negatively impact your dog\’s life. We\’re building stronger foundations starting with your dog\’s cells. Eating high-quality fresh, whole foods decreases cellular inflammation that often contributes to many health conditions or diseases, such as allergies, skin conditions, ear infections, gastrointestinal issues, diabetes, and more.
CALORIC NEEDS
FACTORS
Like all our standard menu plans, this Customized Menu is based on your dog\’s age, weight, reproductive state, activity level and health conditions to determine total caloric and nutritional needs.
YOUR DOG\’S WEIGHT
You\’ll need to know your dog\’s weight or goal weight to order a Customized Menu plan. Our menu plans are sold in ten pound increments. If your dog is overweight or underweight, you\’ll want to select based on goal weight versus current weight. See our Body Composition Visual Guide to help determine your dog’s healthy weight without a scale.
NUTRITIONAL NEEDS
We select a combination of fresh, whole-food, menu ingredients to, not only meet caloric needs, but satisfy macronutrient and micronutrient needs of your dog\’s specific health conditions.
MACRONUTRIENTS
Macronutrients are proteins, carbohydrates and fats. The exact percentage of each nutrient depends on the health condition being treated.
MICRONUTRIENTS
Certain micronutrients are required to treat existing health conditions. We select ingredients that will address potential deficiencies, created by the disease itself or medications your dog is currently using.

INGREDIENT COSTS
DAILY & MONTHLY
Ingredients in this plan are selected based on their healing agents. As a result, the plan created for your dog\’s unique health conditions may be more expensive than our standard menu plans.
Thus, not all ingredients included in our Customized Menu Plan are readily available in your local grocery or discount store. You may have to find a speciality store for some ingredients. We provide the cost to feed your dog daily, and monthly.
