Beef

Ginger
Has anti-inflammatory properties and soothes the digestive system, easing nausea and gastrointestinal problems.
Cinnamon
A warming herb that is soothing on the stomach and easy to digest.
Sea Salt
A mineral to replenish fluids, it replaces the essential salts that are lost during bouts of vomiting or diarrhea.
Egg Shell
The shell provides a whole food calcium source, and the membrane lining offers collagen, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, and glucosamine.
Mixed Tocopherols
Part of the vitamin E family (akin to vegetable oil) & often used as a natural preservative to maintain freshness.
Zinc Proteinate
A chelated mineral bound to an amino acid that protects against oxidative stress.
B-Vitamins
Niacin, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine, and Folic Acid are incredibly fragile B vitamins. They help a variety of enzymes do their jobs, so food more easily turns into energy in the body.

Feeding Guide
Always consult your veterinarian before introducing this diet to your dog. Start with these daily feeding guidelines and follow your veterinarian’s suggestions about the number of meals per day and whether the daily recommendation is right for your dog.

REHYDRATION RECOMMENDED
Water helps with digestion, circulation, and other bodily processes like perfusion (movement of fluids through the organ), which helps move the harmful byproducts through the filtration system and out of the body.

Palatibility Suggestions
Consult with your veterinarian before following these suggestions. Every dog and their condition 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.

Plain Yogurt
Mix in plain yogurt with your dog’s food. The beneficial bacteria will colonize in the gut & reduce the amount of harmful bacteria that causes vomiting, diarrhea, and upset stomach.

Plain Canned Pumpkin
Place a small amount of canned pumpkin in or around your dog’s bowl. Pumpkin contains soluble fiber that can be beneficial for dogs experiencing diarrhea by firming up loose stool.
