WHICH PRECISE PRODUCTS :

I choose foods according to specific needs, not name on the bag ie: puppy food, senior food etc.. I look at the protein/fat, calcium levels and calories per cup in making a decision about what to feed, for what purpose - especially when it comes to giant breeds special needs.

To find distrubution in your area call them directly:

What To Look For In A Good Puppy Food:

For great treats, I have developed my own Krunchity Munchity wild salmon treats and they are available now to the public through www.FirstChoiceNaturals.com

ENHANCING KIBBLE WITH VARIETY

VARIETY WITH HOLISTIC CANNED MEATS:

Precise has several holistic canned foods you can use, but you can also use any other high quality canned food on the market. Canned foods of poor quality cause excessive gas so if your dog is "aromatic", change brands of canned foods. I use only a couple of spoonsful of canned meat mixed in water for a gravy and pour over the kibble, stir and serve. This is not a problem with Precise canned meats. Grocery store level meats are NOT acceptable. You can also make up Linda's veggie soup mix and use that for a gravy for your dog's food.

VARIETY WITH FRUITS &VEGETABLE: use in moderation:

yogurt, buttermilk berries melons, apples, banana, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, oranges, squash, sweet potato, green beans, zucchini - minced/diced/raw/cooked - they love frozen berries and melon balls!! Pulverized fresh veggies are best for digestion.

NO raw onions, grapes or raisins, macadamia nuts.

One suggestion, if you do not like to take the time to prepare fruits and veggies is to purchase large bags from Costco or Sam's Club or Canine Caviar makes a dehydrated fruit and veggie bag.

VARIETY WITH LINDA'S VERY VEGGIE SOUP

Use 2 large cans of chicken or beef broth - (low sodium for heart or elderly dogs- or homemade). Add LOTS of veggies - carrots, green beans, wax beans, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and couple cloves of garlic. The idea is to use this as the filler so you want it to be hearty and filling.

Do not add additional rice, chicken or other meats from the grocery store to a PUPPY'S DIET, as it will upset the balance of the calcium and phosphorus levels during growth stages. Use only holistic canned meats (balanced in calcium/phosphorus levels).

DO NOT MICROWAVE OR SOAK YOUR KIBBLE IN HOT WATER AS IT WILL DESTROY IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS ON THE DOG FOOD.

About Precise Products - there is no soy, wheat or corn in their product line. All naturally preserved and with all human grade ingredients. Precise is a family owned company with their own manufacturing plants, like Eagle had before the WellPet takeover, which means Precise has total control of the product line from ingredient sources, lab testing and the manufacturing process. This includes testing after manufacturing before going to distribution. Pet Product News states that Precise's manufacturing plant (Texas Farms) has 100% safety record on the plant since it's beginning.

Precise has a new visionary CEO working on distribution first, which has been challenging in the past, and I have made recommendations in the line up of foods for the future. I have feed it and it feeds out very well. It has always been my second back up food to Eagle when it is not available. Now it is my primary food since Eagle is no longer owned or under the direction of the Cocquyt family, I refuse to endorse or feed Eagle.
