All FAQs (Helpie FAQ)

Bold by Nature used 100% human grade ingredients.

We do not use HPP. Our first step in ensuring bacteria is at a minimum is using 100% human grade USDA certified ingredients, pathogen tests are actually done before the meat gets to our facility. The meat also stays frozen through the whole manufacturing process to minimize the chance of bacterial growth. Additionally, we use bacteriophage for log reduction and then finally we hold and test each batch until lab results are confirmed negative.

We also produce in 1800lb batches which is very small. And the meat is harvested and quickly processed after slaughter, as per our strict food safety standards, to prevent the growth of bacteria.

We fully understand the severity of food allergies and sensitivities, this is why we have very strict procedures when it comes to avoiding cross contamination. Typically, we only produce 1 protein per day. At the end of our production day, a sanitation crew comes in to clean the facility from top to bottom, including all machinery and equipment. Once the sanitation crew is complete, one of our supervisors comes in to inspect all the machinery before production. If we do produce 2 proteins in one day, all the machines are sanitized in between shifts, and the same procedures above are taken.

Our plastic is BPA Free and Food Grade.

Wheatgrass is the sprout of the wheat plant which has not yet produced any wheat therefore it is not yet considered wheat. Wheatgrass is a great functional ingredient responsible for providing 105 different vitamins and minerals

We use goat milk as a functional ingredient, it enhances digestibility and is rich in protein. Goat milk serves as an excellent source of vitamin A, B, calcium and selenium, which help boost immunity.

We do not recommend refreezing thawed raw pet food. Refreezing can compromise the food’s quality and safety and accelerate spoilage.

We do not recommend thawing our sliders or patties in the microwave, as it can alter their chemical composition and destroy vital nutrients. If you forgot to defrost the meal, place your pet’s portion in a BPA-free bag and submerge it in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes, or until it is thawed.

If your dog doesn’t finish their meal, you can leave the portion at room temperature for 15 minutes. After that, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours before discarding.

Plus, they are AFFCO complete and balanced for all life stages.

ComplEat It is fully balanced for all life stages. Please refer to the feeding guidelines to ensure your dog is receiving the appropriate amount of food.

* Always watch your dog’s body weight closely. We can provide feeding guidelines, but they are not an exact science as every dog has different individual needs.  If they’re losing or gaining weight you may need to adjust the amounts you feed. We also recommend talking to your holistic veterinarian if you have any questions.

The vitamins and minerals come directly from the high-quality ingredients that are used. We use lab testing to ensure each batch of food is complete and balanced.

Yes, you can! Here’s the scoop. Although we do believe that feeding only a raw food diet is best, it is safe to feed both raw food and kibble. We believe that some raw is better than no raw!

Yes, it is totally normal! Most of the food that your dog is ingesting is being digested and used properly by his body, resulting in less waste. In most cases, a raw food diet will result in firmer, more consistent stools within 24 hours of transitioning.  A raw dog food diet complements the canine digestive system, as the pH levels, gut flora, and short digestive tract are adapted to break down proteins and bones.

Freezer burnt patties are safe to feed your dog; it is not a food safety concern. While it may seem unappetizing to the eye, it does not affect the product’s safety. You can be confident that your pets will not face any concerns when consuming freezer-burned foods. Freezer burn is a precursor to freeze-drying, a process that pets, astronauts, and outdoor enthusiasts rely on for their treats and food.

Yes, these patties are safe to feed. Due to the high moisture content of our products, even a small amount of air entering the packaging can cause some of the moisture to be pulled out of the patty. This can result in the formation of ice crystals on the sliders or patties. However, as ice crystals are simply water in a frozen state, it is safe to consume the product.

Color variations are to be expected when no antioxidants or chemicals are used in meat; our color changes should reassure consumers that we only use real ingredients and no synthetics. These patties are perfectly safe to feed.

No. Cooking raw food is not recommended due to their bone content and the potential alteration of nutrient values. Raw dog food is specifically designed to be safe and nutritious when fed raw, preserving optimal digestibility and appeal. The cooking process changes nutrient levels and food qualities on a cellular level, which is not beneficial for raw dog food. While raw bones safely provide essential nutrients, cooked bones can pose serious hazards.

We recommend choosing freeze-dried food. Additionally, our Canine Support team is available if you need further advice. Feel free to send us an email at info@boldcanine.com

Several methods exist for shifting your pet towards their raw food journey, each providing a unique approach for adapting your pet’s dietary habits.

Cold Turkey approach:  Switching your dog’s diet from kibble to raw food can be done immediately, provided your dog is in good health with no digestive problems. Keep a close watch on your dog’s weight and digestion during the transition. In the initial one to two weeks, it’s advised to stick to a single protein source. If there are no adverse digestive reactions, you can then introduce another protein source. The recommended rate for introducing new proteins is two per month. Starting with our ComplEat Turkey Dinner is a good option, given its lean composition and easy digestibility.

Slow and steady wins the race:  In the event that your canine companion has previously encountered digestive disturbances during a diet switch, our recommendation is to stretch the transition phase over a span of 5 to 10 days. Initiate the process by blending 75% of your dog’s existing diet with 25% of the new, raw food. Gradually adjust the mix to half-and-half, then 75% raw, eventually reaching 100% raw feed. This methodical approach can help mitigate potential digestive discomfort for your pet.

Keep food frozen. When ready, thaw the necessary portion in the fridge. Patties and sliders will thaw within 12 hours (approximately). Store all unused portions in the fridge. Raw food should be used within 4 days. Handle all raw meat with appropriate care and hygiene. Wash all surfaces, bowls and utensils with hot, soapy water.

Opting for a raw diet for your canine companion requires careful consideration of their body weight. It is recommended to continually monitor and adjust their food intake based on changes in their weight. The quantity of raw food required varies depending on the life stage and seasonal feeding needs of your dog. The level of your dog’s physical activity also significantly influences the required food portion size. Planning a raw diet for your dog necessitates a comprehensive understanding of these factors to ensure their health and wellbeing.

Here’s a guide on how much raw food to feed your dog:

• Average adult dogs- we recommend 2-2.5% of their ideal body weight.

• Active adult dogs– we recommend 3% of their ideal body weight.

• Underweight dogs– we recommend 3% of their ideal body weight.

• Overweight dogs– we recommend 2% of their ideal body weight.

• Senior dogs– we recommend 2% of their ideal weight.

When it comes to puppies, you will want to feed them 2-2.5% of their estimated adult weight.  Try these guidelines if you’re stuck:

• 3 months or younger– 8% of their current weight.

• 4-6 months–6% of their current weight.

• 6-9 months–4% of their current weight.

• 9+ months– 2.5% of their current weight.

**Always watch your dog’s body weight closely. We can provide feeding guidelines, but they are not an exact science as every dog has different individual needs.  If they’re losing or gaining weight you may need to adjust the amounts you feed. We also recommend talking to your holistic veterinarian if you have any questions.

While there is no one-size-fits-all answer to how often you should feed your dog, a general guideline based on their age is as follows:

• Puppies (up to 6 months): 3-4 meals per day to support their growth and energy needs.

• Adult dogs (6 months to 7 years): 1-2 meals per day. Many owners prefer twice a day for better digestion and to manage hunger.

• Senior dogs (7 years and older): 1-2 meals per day, depending on their health and energy levels.

Always consult your veterinarian for personalized recommendations based on your dog’s specific needs!

Our Bold by Nature ComplEat raw bowls formula is AAFCO balanced and complete for all life stages. This means that protein rotation is not mandatory, and our single meat source diets are packed with nutrients that meet the nutritional needs of your canine friend. With this being said, we have always had a strong belief in the benefits of rotational feeding. A broad array of vitamins, minerals and amino acids can be achieved by feeding a diet containing a variety of protein sources. Afterall, variety is considered the “spice of life”

A raw food diet for dogs involves feeding your pet a meal consisting of uncooked and unprocessed ingredients. Raw food diet for pets can include a variety of different ingredients, including raw meat (such as beef, chicken, or turkey), bones, organs (such as liver or kidney), and vegetables.

The idea behind this type of diet is that it mimics the natural diet of wild dogs, which typically eat prey animals and plants. Proponents of raw food diets believe that this type of diet is more natural and healthier for dogs than traditional kibble or canned dog food.

• May help to promote healthy digestion, smaller stools much less to clean up!

• May help to build a stronger immune system

• May help to improve coat and skin health

• Helps maintain a healthy weight

• May help to support healthy teeth and gums

• May reduce allergies and sensitivities

This is a nutritional adequacy statement set out by AAFCO that means our food meets or exceeds their standards. AFFCO is not a certification, it is just guidelines.

Dogs have a much higher tolerance for bacteria than humans. Think about all the times you’ve seen your dog sticking their nose in dirty things, drinking from puddles, or eating things off the ground!

Dogs have three key defenses that help them deal with harmful bacteria:

1. Saliva that contains bacteria-fighting enzymes.
2. Highly acidic gastric juices that break down bacteria in their stomach.
3. A short digestive tract that quickly processes what they eat.

Remember that not all raw diets are created equal. Our Bold by Nature facility is USDA-licensed, and we only use USA, human-grade ingredients, certified humanely raised meats (GAP), and fresh, California organic vegetables (delivered fresh daily).

Although raw food may mimic the texture and scent of meat, it does not heighten predatory behavior; this behavior is unchanged by diet and instead stems from the dog’s original ancestry. One of the major benefits of raw food is its increased palatability, which makes it highly appealing and triggers greater interest in your pet. It’s essential to manage natural instincts through appropriate environmental enrichment and feeding practices to create a harmonious living environment with pets. Raw food itself is not the problem.

Here’s the scoop. Although we do believe that feeding only a raw diet is best, if you still need to feed some kibble (due to budget or convenience), you can feed both kibble and raw food in separate meals. However, you should never mix the two together! Kibble and raw should be fed separately as they are digested differently by both dogs and cats.

We generally recommend only feeding raw, but if you’re not ready yet, you have a couple of options:

1. Feed one raw meal and one kibble meal per day.
2. Feed raw for several days, then feed kibble for several days.

We believe that some raw is better than no raw!

Our Bold by Nature Select line is our signature blend of raw food for dogs. It is made from natural ‘green’ tripe, ground meat and bones, organ meat, and kelp. The tripe is sourced from 100 % Canadian cows.

The ratio of Select is 70% meat, 15% beef tripe, 10% bone and 5% organs.

The idea behind Bold by Nature Select was to model the natural prey diet of a cat or a dog, using tripe to add omega oils, probiotics, and digestive enzymes to encourage a healthy stomach.

Our Select Raw blends were also designed to provide a carbohydrate free raw diet option. The blend contains no fruits or veggies, which is great for pets with diabetes, yeast issues, or weight problems. It is also gluten free!

When we started feeding the blend, there were immediate, positive effects for our dogs’ health — from the youngest pups to the senior pack members. Here are the benefits that we discovered:

Well-formed stools & much less to clean up
Better digestion due to natural probiotics found in tripe
Cleaner teeth
Improved quality of coat & fur
Better appetite from picky eaters

The Bold by Nature Mega line was created to provide an affordable raw food option for families with bigger dogs or multi-dog households.

The ratios of Bold by Nature Mega are 78% meat, 10% bone, 7% vegetable blend and 5% organs.

Our Bold by Nature Mega line stays true to the dietary philosophy of Bold by Nature Select, aiming to model the natural prey diet and provide a reduced carbohydrate option.

The difference in Mega Dog Raw is that nutritious, farm-fresh vegetables have replaced the tripe to meet the portion needs of a bigger dog at a more economical price point. The blend still contains a low vegetable content (7%) compared to similarly-priced options.

Here are some of the other reasons to feed Bold by Nature Mega:

Easy to scoop-and-serve tub format or convenient pre-portioned 8oz patties
Tub reseals to prevent leaks in the fridge
Nutritious veggies, no filler content
Dogs love it — thanks to the high meat content

Our Bold By Nature Mega Base Blends are the perfect option for pet owners who create their own raw pet food mix. We have three Base Blend offerings: Mega Blend, Pure Pork, and Pure Duck. These blends are not balanced as they do not contain vegetables or kelp.

To balanced the diet, they should be supplemented with any of the following:

Tripe
Vegetables
Other supplements
Please feel free to contact us for more information on how to properly feed your pet with our Bold by Nature Base Blends.

Yes, you can!

Here’s the scoop. Although we do believe that feeding only a raw food diet is best, it is safe to feed both raw food and kibble.

We believe that some raw is better than no raw!

We live for this question. Get the raw facts by visiting our Why Raw section, The Bold Blog or by contacting us to speak to a live Pets-pert.

This is not uncommon! Most cats need a bit of time to make the switch.

If your cat does not take to raw right away, mix the raw blend with canned cat food. For example, start with ¼ raw food and ¾ canned food. Gradually reduce the canned food until you are feeding an entirely raw diet. Every cat is different — be patient as this can be a lengthy process!

Contact us if you need help switching your cat to raw.

Tripe is the stomach of a cow, deer, sheep, or any other ruminant animal. Ruminant animals possess up to four stomach chambers where they break down and acquire nutrients from their food during digestion.

Dogs should be fed tripe in its purest form, a natural ‘green’ state, for it to be most beneficial. This means the tripe has not been denatured.

Tripe is an amazing nutritional food for your pet, especially when served in its natural ‘green’ state. It will help with brain function, heart function, skin and coat quality, and, most importantly digestion!

Here are some facts about our Bold by Nature natural ‘green’ tripe:

It contains a high amount of omega fatty acids, including omega 3. Tripe serves as a great alternative to omega 3 options, such as fish oil.
It is high in fibre because it contains grasses from the cow’s diet.
It is high in Vitamin B complex, which supports brain function, heart function, skin health, coat health and more.
It contains many healthy probiotics, naturally occurring bacterium that aid in digestion.
Our Bold by Nature tripe is the go-to food for picky eaters. Put 1/2 – 1 x 3 ounce patty of green beef tripe in any meal and your dog will eat it.

Our tripe is made from the stomachs of Canadian cows. We have sourced our tripe from government-inspected facilities that pass safety standards required for human consumption.

Similar to our Bold by Nature Tripe, our meat passes strict safety inspections for human consumption and is only sourced from government-inspected facilities that meet these same safety standards.

The majority of our meats come from local Canadian farms. Even our kelp comes from Atlantic Canada! Here is a list of our local farmers and processors:

– Sargent Farms , Fresh chicken delivered weekly from Milton Ontario

– Conestoga Pork, Fresh pork delivered weekly from Cambridge Ontario

– Highland Farms , Fresh and frozen beef delivered weekly from Stoney creek Ontario

– Norpac , fresh tripe picked up weekly from Woolwich Ontario

– Abate Packers, Fresh & forzen rabbits delivered weekly from Arthur Ontario

Because we have our secret ingredient, tripe! Tripe contains all of the nutrition that fruits and veggies normally supply. This includes antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fibre from grasses in the cow’s stomach. The bonus is that tripe is also rich in probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids. A tripe-based blend offers a nutritionally complete raw diet for pets, all from one basic ingredient.

Not all raw diets are created equal. Here at Bold by Nature, we take food safety very seriously. We follow a strict food safety program (HACCP) to reduce the risk from pathogens. All our meats are sourced from government-inspected, certified facilities that pass safety standards required for human consumption. Each finished formula must pass strict quality control protocols before shipping.

Dogs have a much higher tolerance to bacteria than humans. Think about all the times that you have seen your dog sticking their nose in dirty things, drinking out of puddles or eating stuff off the ground!

Dogs have three things that help them deal with harmful bacteria:

1. Saliva that contains bacteria-fighting enzymes.
2. Highly acidic gastric juices that break down bacteria in their stomach.
3. A short digestive tract that is able to quickly process what they eat.

Your dog can handle a certain amount of bacteria without any issue. Any high quality commercial raw pet food should be no problem, but it’s important to avoid raw pet food that people make cheaply or sell out of their homes. Remember that not all raw diets are created equal.

Very rarely does switching to a raw pet food diet cause diarrhea. This is very uncommon. In most cases, a raw pet food diet will lead to firmer, more consistent poops within 24 hours. Your poop bags will thank you.

Yes, you can view a nutritional analysis for each Bold by Nature product by browsing our specific product pages.

Remember, not all raw is created equal. By remaining true to the Bold standard, we lead the pack in the raw pet food category. Our Bold by Nature Select line is more expensive than other raw food brands mainly because of our natural green tripe content and how much is in each formula. Both our Select and Mega lines use high-end cuts of meat in larger quantities than other brands, which contributes to the costs as well.

Our philosophy is to source meats we’d serve ourselves. If you were buying meat for yourself, you wouldn’t trust a cut of chicken or beef that cost $1 per lb. Don’t treat your pet any differently!

Supplements are used for a variety of reasons, each with their own benefits. They can improve overall wellness and assist your pet in different areas of their lives. Learn more about them on our Supplements page.

Made with locally sourced ingredients, our new pet health supplements have been formulated to improve overall pet wellness, promote a healthier coat, and more.

Our rule of thumb — always check with your veterinarian if your pet is on medication. For example, our Slippery Elm can sometimes change how medication is absorbed in the digestive tract. So, it isn’t always recommended for use with some medications. It is also important to note that some of our Bold by Nature+ Supplements can be used on a regular basis, like the Green Lipped Mussel. Others are to be used on a temporary basis. Please read directions on label for more information.

Les régimes crus ne naissent pas tous égaux. Chez Bold by Nature, nous prenons la sécurité alimentaire très au sérieux. Nous respectons un programme de sécurité alimentaire rigoureux (HACCP) pour réduire les risques liés aux pathogènes. Toutes nos viandes proviennent d’installations soumises à des inspections gouvernementales, et se conforment aux mêmes normes sanitaires que si elles étaient destinées à la consommation humaine. Chaque recette de mélange doit être soumise à des protocoles rigoureux de contrôle de la qualité avant son expédition.

Les chiens ont une tolérance aux bactéries beaucoup plus grande que les humains. Pensez à toutes ces fois où vous avez vu votre chien se mettre le museau dans la saleté, boire dans une flaque d’eau ou manger ce qui traîne par terre!

Les chiens possèdent trois armes pour se défendre des bactéries nuisibles :

Une salive contenant des enzymes qui s’attaquent aux bactéries.
Des sucs gastriques à forte teneur en acide qui décomposent les bactéries dans leur estomac.
Un tube digestif court, pour une absorption plus rapide des aliments.
Votre chien tolérera une certaine quantité de bactéries sans aucune difficulté. Toute nourriture crue commerciale pour animaux domestiques ne devrait poser aucun problème, mais il est important d’éviter la nourriture crue pour animaux de moindre qualité ou produite à domicile. Tous les régimes crus ne se valent pas, n’oubliez pas!

Il est très rare que le passage à l’alimentation crue entraîne une diarrhée. Cela est même très inhabituel. Dans la plupart des cas, l’alimentation crue aide à produire des selles plus fermes et consistantes en moins de 24 heures. Très appréciable quand vient le temps de ramasser.

Oui, vous pouvez prendre connaissance de l’information nutritionnelle au sujet de chaque produit Bold by Nature en consultant les pages que nous leur dédions spécifiquement.

N’oubliez pas, tous les aliments crus ne se valent pas. En nous conformant toujours aux normes Bold les plus strictes, nous sommes devenus les leaders de la catégorie nourriture crue pour animaux de compagnie. Notre gamme Bold by Nature Sélect est plus chère que celles de nos compétiteurs principalement parce qu’elle contient de la panse verte naturelle en quantité conséquente dans chacune des recettes. Le recours à de meilleures coupes de viande pour les gammes Sélect et Méga, et en plus grande proportion que les autres marques, contribuent aussi à en augmenter le coût.

Notre philosophie consiste à n’utiliser que des viandes que nous pourrions servir à notre table. Si vous achetiez de la viande pour vous-même, un morceau de poulet ou de bœuf à 1 $ la livre vous inspirerait-il confiance? Probablement pas. Pourquoi en serait-il autrement pour votre animal?

Si vous avez besoin de plus amples renseignements pour faire le passage à Bold, contactez-nous dès aujourd’hui. Nos experts vous attendent.

Si votre commerçant ne tient pas les produits Bold by Nature, veuillez nous envoyer un courriel et nous communiquerons avec celui-ci. La plupart des commerçants acceptent de passer une commande lorsqu’un client en fait la demande.

Les suppléments sont utilisés pour diverses raisons, chacune avec ses propres avantages. Ils peuvent améliorer le bien-être général et aider votre animal dans différentes sphères de sa vie. Apprenez-en plus à leur sujet sur notre page « Suppléments ».

Notre panse est faite d’estomacs de vaches canadiennes élevées dans le pré. Elle provient d’installations sujettes à des inspections gouvernementales, qui sont soumises aux mêmes normes sanitaires que les installations qui conditionnent la nourriture destinée à la consommation humaine.

Parce que nous avons un ingrédient secret : la panse! La panse contient tous les éléments nutritifs qu’on retrouve dans les fruits et légumes : les antioxydants, les vitamines, les minéraux et les fibres provenant de l’herbe contenue dans l’estomac des vaches. En prime, la panse est riche en probiotiques et en acides gras Omega-3. D’un point de vue nutritionnel, un mélange à base de panse procure une alimentation crue complète pour votre animal de compagnie grâce à un seul ingrédient élémentaire.

La panse est un aliment incroyablement nutritif pour votre animal, tout spécialement la panse verte. Elle améliore les fonctions cérébrales et cardiaques, la qualité de la peau et du pelage et surtout, la digestion!

Voici quelques précisions intéressantes au sujet de la panse verte Bold by Nature  :

La panse affiche une teneur élevée en acides gras Omega, dont les Omega 3. C’est l’alternative idéale aux autres sources d’Omega 3, comme l’huile de poisson
Sa teneur en fibres est élevée en raison de l’herbe qu’elle contient et qui constitue l’essentiel du régime alimentaire de la vache.
Sa teneur en vitamines du complexe B est élevée, contribuant aux fonctions cérébrales, à une peau et à un pelage plus sain, et plus encore.
Elle contient plusieurs probiotiques bénéfiques, des bactéries présentes naturellement qui facilitent la digestion.
La panse Bold by Nature est la référence pour les mangeurs capricieux. Ajoutez ½ -1 galette de 3 onces de panse verte à tout repas et votre chien s’en régalera.

La panse, c’est un estomac de vache, de chevreuil, de mouton ou de tout autre ruminant. Les ruminants ont jusqu’à quatre estomacs pour digérer leur nourriture et en assimiler les nutriments.

Il est préférable d’offrir aux chiens de la panse dans sa forme la plus pure, ce qu’on nomme la panse verte naturelle, afin d’en tirer le maximum de bienfaits. Cela veut dire que la panse ne subit aucune transformation et nous arrive fraîche, directement de la ferme.

La panse peut être donnée en guise de supplément à tout régime alimentaire.

Ce n’est pas rare! La plupart des chats mettent un peu de temps pour adopter une nouvelle alimentation.

Si votre chat n’est pas fou du cru d’emblée, combinez mélange cru et nourriture pour chat en conserve. Par exemple, commencer avec ¼ de cru et ¾ de conserves. Diminuez graduellement la proportion de conserves jusqu’à n’offrir que du cru. Chaque chat étant unique, votre patience sera requise, car le processus peut parfois être long!

Contactez-nous si vous avez besoin d’aide pour introduire votre chat à la nourriture crue.

Vous ne pourrez pas vous tromper. Il suffit d’utiliser notre grille de calcul des rations pour savoir quelle est la portion recommandée pour votre animal.

Cette question est au centre de nos vies. Pour connaître la vérité toute crue, consultez la section Cru? Pourquoi? et la section Le blogue Bold, ou contactez-nous pour parler à un expert en chair et en os.

Voici la chose. Nous croyons que l’idéal est de servir exclusivement de la nourriture crue, mais s’il vous faut aussi servir des croquettes (par souci d’économie ou de commodité), vous pouvez servir l’un ou l’autre lors de repas distincts. Cependant, vous ne devriez jamais les servir ensemble! Les croquettes et la nourriture crue devraient être servies séparément, car elles ne sont pas digérées de la même façon par les chiens et chats.

En général, nous recommandons de ne servir que de la nourriture crue, mais si vous n’êtes pas encore prêts, voici quelques façons de procéder :

Donner 2 repas par jour : donner un repas cru et un repas de croquettes.
Ne donner que du cru pendant quelques jours, puis que des croquettes pendant quelques jours.

Nous croyons qu’un peu de cru, c’est mieux que pas de cru du tout!

Nos mélanges de base Bold by Nature Méga représentent le meilleur choix pour les maîtres et les maîtresses qui désirent composer leur propre mélange cru. Nous proposons trois différents mélanges de base : Mélange Méga, Pur porc et Pur canard. Ces mélanges ne contiennent ni légumes ni varech.

Pour que le régime alimentaire de votre chien soit complet et équilibré, il faut y ajouter certains de ces ingrédients :

• Panse de bœuf
• Légumes
• Autres suppléments

N’hésitez pas à communiquer avec nous pour obtenir plus de renseignements sur la façon optimale de nourrir votre animal avec les mélanges de base Bold by Nature.

La gamme Bold by Nature Méga a été conçue pour offrir une option de nourriture crue abordable pour les familles qui ont des chiens de grande taille, ou plus d’un chien dans la maisonnée.

Les mélanges de la gamme Méga contiennent 78 % de viande, 10 % d’os, 7 % de légumes et 5 % d’organes.

La philosophie diététique derrière notre gamme Bold by Nature Méga est la même que pour la gamme Sélect : viser à reproduire le régime alimentaire naturel d’un carnivore tout en offrant une option sans glucides.

Ce qui distingue la gamme crue Méga Chien, c’est que la panse est remplacée par des légumes nutritifs frais du potager afin d’offrir aux chiens de plus grande taille des portions qui satisfassent leur appétit tout en demeurant abordables. Ce mélange contient tout de même une faible proportion de légumes (7 %) comparativement aux produits de la compétition dans la même fourchette de prix.

Voici d’autres bonnes raisons de servir Bold by Nature Méga :

• Offert en pots commodes qui facilitent le service ou en galettes pré-faites de 8oz
• Le pot est hermétique pour éviter les fuites dans le frigo
• Contient des légumes nutritifs, pas des substances de remplissage
• Les chiens l’adorent, en raison de sa grande proportion de viande

Oui, vous pouvez lui servir les deux, en tout temps. Comme les humains, nos animaux ont besoin d’un régime varié… et de variété dans leur assiette! Nous recommandons une alternance régulière des protéines et des recettes servies, en raison des effets positifs à long terme sur la santé de votre animal que cela entraînera.

Bold by Nature Sélect est notre mélange de haute gamme d’aliments crus pour chiens. Elle est faite de panse verte de bœuf naturelle, de viandes et d’os moulus, d’organes et de varech. La panse provient de vaches canadiennes élevées dans le pré.

Les mélanges de la gamme Sélect contiennent 70 % de viande, 15 % de panse de bœuf, 10 % d’os et 5 % d’organes.

L’idée à l’origine de Bold by Nature Sélect était de reproduire le modèle du régime alimentaire naturel du carnivore, en y incluant de la panse pour son apport en huiles oméga, en probiotiques et en enzymes digestives contribuant à la santé de l’estomac.

Les mélanges crus de notre gamme Sélect ont aussi été conçus pour offrir une option crue sans glucides. Ces mélanges ne contiennent ni fruits ni légumes, ce qui est une bonne option pour les animaux présentant un diabète, une infection à levure ou un problème de poids. En plus, ils sont sans gluten!

Dès l’introduction de ce mélange, on a constaté des effets bénéfiques sur la santé de nos chiens, de notre plus jeune chiot jusqu’au doyen de la meute. Voici les effets observés :

• Selles moins volumineuses et bien constituées, facilitant le ramassage
• Digestion améliorée grâce aux probiotiques naturellement présents dans la panse
• Dents plus propres

The Bold by Nature Mega line was created to provide an affordable raw food option for families with bigger dogs or multi-dog households.

The ratios of Bold by Nature Mega are 78% meat, 10% bone, 7% vegetable blend and 5% organs.

Our Bold by Nature Mega line stays true to the dietary philosophy of Bold by Nature Select, aiming to model the natural prey diet and provide a reduced carbohydrate  option.

The difference in Mega Dog Raw is that nutritious, farm-fresh vegetables have replaced the tripe to meet the portion needs of a bigger dog at a more economical price point. The blend still contains a low vegetable content (7%) compared to similarly-priced options.

Here are some of the other reasons to feed Bold by Nature Mega:

• Easy to scoop-and-serve tub format or convenient pre-portioned 8oz patties
• Tub reseals to prevent leaks in the fridge
• Nutritious veggies, no filler content
• Dogs love it — thanks to the high meat content

Our Bold by Nature Select line is our signature blend of raw food for dogs. It is made from natural ‘green’ tripe, ground meat and bones, organ meat, and kelp. The tripe is sourced from 100 % Canadian cows.

The ratio of Select is 70% meat, 15% beef tripe, 10% bone and 5% organs.

The idea behind Bold by Nature Select was to model the natural prey diet of a cat or a dog, using tripe to add omega oils, probiotics, and digestive enzymes to encourage a healthy stomach.

Our Select Raw blends were also designed to provide a carbohydrate free raw diet option. The blend contains no fruits or veggies, which is great for pets with diabetes, yeast issues, or weight problems. It is also gluten free!

When we started feeding the blend, there were immediate, positive effects for our dogs’ health — from the youngest pups to the senior pack members. Here are the benefits that we discovered:

• Well-formed stools & much less to clean up
• Better digestion due to natural probiotics found in tripe
• Cleaner teeth
• Improved quality of coat & fur
• Better appetite from picky eaters
