“You Are What You Eat” and for dogs that is for the OCPoundhounds first and foremost a raw diet. For those willing to feed a raw diet, we highly recommend TigerTail Foods. The dog’s health benefit’s so much from the raw food…..their natural diet!
For the few refusals we do get when an OCPoundhound is offered a raw diet our next offering is The Honest Kitchen…..Most cannot help but partake in this diet when served.
You can easily make your own raw food: Simply Make Your Own Dog’s Food
SOJOS COMPLETE DOG FOOD MIX is a wholesome GRAIN-FREE pre-mix that you simply combine with water to create your own fresh, homemade pet food. Made with USDA FREEZE-DRIED raw meat and all-natural ingredients. You can add yogurt, meat, fish etc to increase the protein or feed as a complete meal – our OCPoundhounds love it!

If KIBBLE is better for you then we recommend the following kibble:
Quality, premium kibble for Adult and Puppy alike. Their “Barking At The Moon” is their top of the line but those that do not want to feed such high protein to their small breed dog the “Just A Wee Bit” formula is an excellent alternative.
Feeding raw (prey feeding) and raw meaty bones has been amazing for our rescue dogs. Our shedding dogs, such as our Chihuahua’s, Chihuahua mixes and Australian Cattle Dogs have significantly reduced their predisposition to shed. Allergies and ear infections have cleared up and no more irritable bowels. Chewing on the raw bones cleans the dogs teeth.
Most Veterinarians (unless they are Holistically trained) have not had any specific nutritional training. They obtain their nutritional information from the Sales Representatives of the dog food companies such as Science Diet, Iams and Purina for which they receive discounts for selling in their practice.
