Nutrition

 

All of our Boerboels are fed the RAW diet and/or an all natural high quality kibble. The RAW diet consists of beef, venison, chicken, turkey, bison, fish, rabbit, pork, lamb, tripe, eggs, organs, and raw bones. They also get fruits and vegetables as treats. They are fed 2-3% of their body weight daily depending on their activity level.

RAW feeding benefits include:

  • raw bones naturally cleans teeth
  • no doggy odor
  • shinier coats
  • puppies grow at a slower rate avoiding growth spurts
  • mirrors what a dog would be getting in the wild
  • less stools produced
  • decreased vet bills-healthier dogs
  • less cost for dog food
  • the ripping and chewing involved in eating raw meaty bones develops the jaw, neck, and shoulder muscles of the dog
  • more milk production for lactating mothers
  • increased energy
  • quicker digestion
  • decreased chances of bloat
  • better weight control
