Diet is one of the most important aspects of caring for your canine companion. It is also one of the areas where you can have complete control over every ingredient. We strongly believe that feeding a B.A.R.F. (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet is the best possible way to feed your new puppy and adult dog. Preparation of this diet can be time consuming, but the results are worth it!   As this diet becomes more mainstream, there are more and more companies willing to make this preparation easier.

At Northbridge we feed a combination of raw meaty bones, Oma's Pride Raw Food, and select supplements. If you would like to know exactly what we feed, please send me an e-mail.

Books I recommend are "Give Your Dog A Bone" by Dr. Ian Billinghurst, "Switching to Raw" by Susan K. Johnson and "The Ultimate Diet" by Kymythe Schultz.  Although these diets vary slightly, they are excellent sources of information on raw feeding. Not everyone feels comfortable feeding this type of diet, however. For those who choose to feed a more conventional kibble, please learn to read the labels. Learn what those ingredients really are!! There are a few quality kibbles out there. Links to a few of these dog foods can be found on this page.
