Our Approach Is Grounded In
Modern Science & Rooted in Whole Food
The disease is the priority, dictating nutritional needs, which guide the ingredients chosen in a diet.
The proper nutritional framework maximizes nutrient absorption and minimizes taxing the body, allowing healing from the inside out.
Using clean, whole foods can drastically impact the lives of dogs for the better, which is why our mission is to provide therapeutic, whole food nutrition when patients need it most.
Short & Long-Term Solutions
When Your Patient Needs Them
Study after study shows that whole food nutrition improves outcomes for our animals.
Ingredients are dictated by the disease, but there is so much more to food than select nutrients plucked out to address the disease process.
So, our goal is always to nurture healing and nourish the body. We see many of these diets as short-term solutions to correct underlying issues.

So, our goal is always to nurture healing and nourish the body. We see many of these diets as short-term solutions to correct underlying issues.
Science diets meet the nutrient profiles needed to address a disease state, but do so using poor-quality ingredients like meat meals, corn, and a lengthy list of synthetic nutrients.
We can do better. We have the tools to do so. Just consider whole food ingredients you can utilize in a therapeutic diet compared to what’s currently on the market.
