Whole Body Support Diet For Dogs

Diet Overview

Built around how dogs are naturally designed to fuel their bodies, this recipe prioritizes highly digestible animal proteins, healthy fats, and exceptionally low carbohydrate levels.

 

It is also intentionally rich in antioxidants from whole foods, helping support cellular health and overall biological balance.

 

Its nutrient-dense, fat-forward design provides steady nourishment and can be especially helpful for dogs who aren’t thriving, including those with lower appetite, reduced energy, or difficulty maintaining weight and condition.

 

It can be fed daily as a dog’s primary diet or used as a strong nutritional foundation within a curated bowl.

Highlights

  • Highly digestible animal proteins to support lean muscle
  • Healthy fats to support energy and metabolic health
  • Exceptionally low carbohydrate, meat-first formulation
    (Chicken 3.8% kcal | Beef 3.7% kcal)
  • Rich in antioxidants from whole-food ingredients
  • Omega-3 fatty acids including EPA and DHA
  • Available in nugget and paté formats to support palatability and feeding flexibility

Who would benefit from this diet?

  • Dogs needing a strong, nutrient-dense nutritional foundation
  • Dogs who do best on low-carbohydrate, meat-forward nutrition
  • Dogs experiencing changes in appetite, energy, or body condition
  • Dogs transitioning away from highly processed or carbohydrate-heavy foods
  • Dogs using this diet as a daily food or foundational anchor

How It Works

The Medicus Foundation Diet is meticulously crafted to address these key nutritional needs using real, whole foods:

Starts with Animal-Based Nutrition

  • Dogs are built to eat animal proteins and fats. This recipe is meat-first, using highly digestible meats and organs that support muscle, energy, and overall body condition.

Keeps Carbohydrates Exceptionally Low

This diet contains extremely low levels of carbohydrates:

  • Chicken – 3.8% of kcal
  • Beef – 3.7% of kcal

This keeps the nutrition aligned with how dogs are naturally designed to eat, relying on proteins and fats rather than carbohydrates.

This balance can be especially helpful for dogs who are overweight or need closer attention to carbohydrates.

Supports Lean Muscle and Steady Energy

Highly digestible animal proteins provide the building blocks dogs use every day to maintain muscle, strength, and consistent energy.

Rich in Antioxidants from Whole Foods

Whole-food ingredients like blueberries, cranberries, spinach, and broccoli naturally provide antioxidants that support cellular health and overall vitality.

These compounds help support the body’s normal ability to handle everyday metabolic stress.

Provides Complete Nutrition for Everyday Feeding

This recipe is nutrient-dense and easy to digest, providing complete, balanced nutrition that supports healthy weight, muscle maintenance, and long-term wellbeing.

Because it is rich in animal proteins, healthy fats, and antioxidant-rich whole foods, it provides a strong nutritional foundation for lifelong feeding.

Nutrients vs Ingredients

Nutrition Starts with Whole Foods

At Medicus, nutrition begins with real ingredients, not reconstructed formulas.

Whole animal foods like beef, chicken, eggs, organ meats, and organically grown whole-food produce naturally provide the proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals dogs are designed to eat.

Instead of relying on starch-heavy formulations and synthetic nutrient additions to meet minimum requirements, Medicus builds nutrition from the foundation up — using whole foods that deliver complete, balanced nutrition in their natural form.

This approach keeps carbohydrates exceptionally low while providing the animal-based nutrition that supports muscle, energy, and long-term health.

Proof in the Numbers

Why We Show the Comparison

When nutrition starts with whole foods, the numbers naturally reflect that foundation.

Dogs are designed to rely primarily on animal proteins and fats, with very little carbohydrate. This recipe reflects that biology, with carbohydrates making up just 3.8% of calories in the chicken recipe and 3.7% in the beef recipe — far lower than conventional dog foods.

Because of that, we believe transparency matters.

Below, you’ll see how the Medicus Foundation Whole Body Support Diet compares nutritionally to other diets. Our recipes maintain exceptionally low carbohydrate levels while delivering strong levels of animal-based protein, healthy fats, and naturally occurring antioxidant nutrients from whole-food ingredients.

The goal isn’t to compete on numbers.

It’s to show that when nutrition is built from whole foods — with carbohydrates kept low and antioxidant-rich ingredients included — the result is a foundation that supports muscle, energy, and long-term health.

Veterinary-Formulated Nutrition

Developed by a veterinarian using whole-food ingredients and nutritional science to support specific physiological functions through purposeful nutrition.
ingredient1

No Rendered Meat Meals

Rendering converts animal carcasses into ingredients for animal feed. They are ground, heavily cooked, pressed to remove fats, ground again, and then dried. Included in this process are bones, organs, blood, feathers, and slaughter floor waste. Meal is a heavily-processed ingredient before it’s added as an ingredient to kibbles.

100% Real, Whole Foods

No High-Heat Cooking

askfjbcvsdkzjnvcjkx nzdkvnkzjvdkjszjvkdjsznvksdnks,mz

Real, Whole-Food Nutrition

Made from real, whole-food ingredients rather than rendered meals or heavily processed powders. Whole foods provide nutrients the body can efficiently digest, absorb, and utilize.
  No High-Heat Processing

Conventional kibble is produced using multiple heating steps, including extrusion and drying, which can expose ingredients to temperatures exceeding 400°F. These high temperatures are necessary for shelf stability and safety, but they can alter the structure of certain heat-sensitive nutrients and naturally occurring compounds found in whole foods. Medicus diets are freeze-dried instead. This low-temperature process removes moisture without exposing ingredients to high heat, helping preserve the nutritional integrity, digestibility, and bioavailability of whole-food ingredients.

 

Freeze-Dried

No Corn

Freeze-Dried to Preserve Nutrients

Freeze-drying removes moisture while preserving the original nutrient profile and digestibility of whole foods without high-heat processing.
corn

No Corn or Corn Fillers

Our formulas do not include corn or corn-derived ingredients. Instead, we use whole-food carbohydrate sources selected for their digestibility and nutritional contribution to the overall formulation.

Carefully Selected Whole-Animal Meats

No Antibiotics

Chicken

No Added Hormones or Routine Antibiotics

Because we source meats from trusted partners who follow responsible animal-raising practices, no antibiotics, hormones, or other medications are administered to the animals prior to slaughter. This helps preserve the integrity of the ingredients used in our formulas.

Locally Sourced Ingredients

No Artificial Preservatives

Responsibly Sourced

Trusted Ingredient Sourcing

Responsibly sourced from trusted suppliers who prioritize ingredient quality and safety. This sourcing approach allows us to select ingredients such as organically grown produce, wild-caught fish, and pasture-raised beef.
Ingredient Icons_Mixed Tocopherols

Naturally Preserved

We only use mixed tocopherols, a natural preservative, in all Medicus Diets. While it functions as a way to keep each bag of food shelf-stable and fresh, it is also an antioxidant.

Limited Ingredient

No Artificial Flavoring

Prioritizes Organically Grown Produce

Consumption of pesticides can increase oxidative stress and place unnecessary strain on the body. When available, we prioritize organically grown produce in our formulas. This means ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides or herbicides, supporting cleaner, more natural nutrition from the ground up.

No Artificial Colors

Artificial dyes are used in pet foods to add color to brown kibble in an attempt to give them a more desirable and aesthetically pleasing color.

3rd-Party Tested

No Byproducts

Nutritional Facts

How to Feed

Feeding Guide

Use these guidelines as a starting point and adjust as needed to support your pet’s ideal body condition over time. Because Medicus is built from whole foods, intake may vary based on age, activity level, and environment. Always provide access to fresh water.

REHYDRATION RECOMMENDED

Nugget Rehydration Directions: 

Rehydrate by adding +/-  ¾ cup of warm water for every cup of food. Mix the water and food, and wait 3-4 minutes, then serve.

Paté Rehydration Directions: 

Add 1 1/2 cups of hot water (120 degrees F) for every 1 cup of Medicus paté powder. Mix and let rest for 5 minutes. Prior to serving, add two additional tablespoons of warm water and mix.

Palatability Suggestions

Consult with your veterinarian before following these suggestions. Every dog and form of cancer is different, so it is best to learn whether the recommendations and ingredients are right for them.

Chicken Bone Broth

Hydrate your dog’s food with chicken bone broth (no sodium) as a nutritious and enticing way to add moisture and flavor. Bone broth sits well in a dog’s stomach so it is perfect for dogs with decreased appetite.

Raw Goat’s Milk

Adding raw goat’s milk to your dog’s food can not only increase palatability, but also has carotene, a nutrient that fights cancerous cells.

Unseasoned Boiled Chicken

Put a sprinkle of plain shredded chicken in with their food and mix throughout. The meat is easily digestible and the added aroma is a palatability enticer.
