Holistically raised puppies

We feed our puppies a fresh food diet consisting of veggies and raw meat, bones and organs. Our puppies are raised on this foundation from the start, giving them a strong nutritional beginning.  We realize that what we feed our pets makes a difference in their long term health. 

We believe that every dog is an individual, and their healthcare should reflect that.  Our puppies are minimally vaccinated, with initial vaccinations given as close to 8 weeks of age as possible. In the early weeks of life, puppies receive natural immune protection from their mother, which helps support them as their own immune systems begin to develop.  For most puppies, maternal immunity starts to decline around 6-12 weeks of age and continues to fade over the following weeks.

As dogs mature, some families choose to explore titer testing, which measures existing antibody levels and can help determine whether additional vaccinations are truly needed.  This allows care decisions to be made based on the dog's individual immune response rather than a routine schedule.

Other families are interested in supporting immune health through a more holistic lens.  Some work with holistic or integrative veterinarians to focus on building natural immunity and, in certain cases, may discuss alternatives such a nosodes as part of a broader wellness plan.  We encourage families who are curious about these options to seek guidance from a qualified holistic veterinarian who can help determine what is appropriate for their dog and lifestyle.

Vaccinations records and health checks will be provided to you on pick up day.  The puppies are also routinely dewormed before they head home using natural supplements with which we have had great success. 

We are always happy to talk to families about their preferences, including those who wish to take a slower approach to vaccination or work alongside a holistic veterinarian.
