"When you feed a wide variety of different foods, there is no need to
make each meal 'complete and balanced.'
Think of how you eat yourself, and how you feed your children, providing different foods at
different meals and on different days. Make sure your dog gets everything he needs over a
week or two, not at every meal."
-Mary Strauss, The Whole Dog Journal, June 2007

Feeding Your Dog Naturally
ScooterFood focuses on the health benefits of natural food for dogs
made without chemical preservatives or colorings; no additives or flavoring; and no gluten wheat or corn. We believe in getting vitamins and minerals from various food sources. The best way to health is a varied diet.
"QUESTION: What about a balanced diet? How can we ensure that our dogs have a fully balanced diet? ANSWER: You know, that is overblown."
-Donald Strombeck,DVM BARK, June 2007

Changing Your Dog's Diet
Because a sudden change in diet can disrupt a dog's digestive system, new food is usually
introduced slowly, over time. A change from preservative-filled canned food to a wholesome,
healthful, fresh food can be especially disruptive.
You can accomplish a change smoothly by adding ScooterFood to your dog's usual meal(s) in
small increments over the course of several weeks. As your dog adjusts, gradually add more
ScooterFood until you've reached the balance your dog likes best.
To optimize your dog's dining experience, heat ScooterFood in its microwaveable container
for about a minute (depending on your microwave). Stir a few times; making sure that it isn't
too hot before serving.
