While this is not a local company, it is Canadian, located in Vancouver. This pet food supplier has gone above and beyond to provide information on what the best options are for your pets. They have done exhaustive tests and evaluations to come up with a list of the best and worst dog foods, plus they explain why, more importantly, how they came to their conclusions. The link takes you directly to the dog food evaluation but their site is full of all manner of valuable information.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moonlightpetstore.com\/pet-health-pet-nutrition\/dog-cat-health\/dog-heart-disease\/best-dog-kibble\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.moonlightpetstore.com\/pet-health-pet-nutrition\/dog-cat-health\/best-dog-kibble<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">\ud83d\udca1 <span style=\"color: #008000;\">One of our biggest takeaways was the recommendation to at least twice a week soak the kibble. Allowing it to soak in clean water for at least an hour softens it, making it easier for the liver to deal with. This means a healthier pup. We will soak the supper kibble every day if possible.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2622\ufe0f<span style=\"color: #000000;\">More important information <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moonlightpetstore.com\/pet-health-pet-nutrition\/dog-cat-health\/dog-heart-disease\/dog-heart-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE https:\/\/www.moonlightpetstore.com\/pet-health-pet-nutrition\/dog-cat-health\/dog-heart-disease\/dog-heart-disease<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2999&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/tangentstreats.com&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]If you have been in the area for any amount of time you probably know about Tangents Treat and have met Terry, Ken, and of course Aspen the pup.

After a fire made it impossible for the supplier we had been using for at least two years we started looking elsewhere and found this company. They offer better pricing and free delivery in the Edmonton area. The meat we have received so far has been of high quality and we will continue to order from them. FYI &#8211; their site is not quite finished at this time.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/mostwantedrawsupply.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/mostwantedrawsupply.ca<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>***A little side information. Raw does not imply meat only. A vegetable mix that constitutes about 50% of the meal. On our veterinarian&#8217;s suggestion we make up the vegetable portion. We cook carrots, sweet potato, squash (all root veggies and squash are first shredded), quinoa, spinach, romaine, sweet peppers, and various other green leafy vegetables. The root veggies and quinoa get cooked, then the rest get added and mixed till they wilt. This provides a high degree of nutrients that the pups can digest easily. Like anything else, we recommend you talk to your vet before starting on a raw diet, but we strongly urge talking to the vets at the Holistic Vet Clinic, who are far more informed on this matter than others we have used.<\/p>\n<p>This is a recommendation based on personal experience.
