WHY GREENS FOR DOGS?
Answer: Just as humans benefit from eating fruits and vegetables, so can dogs! Plants are rich in phytonutrients and disease fighting properties not found in meat alone. In fact, a UC Davis study found 68% of dog owners surveyed have observed their dogs trying to eat garden plants or yard grass daily or weekly! Your dog may be deficient in important plant-based health benefits and Poochie Powder® provides a range of important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, in the form of a palatable, potent and digestion friendly powder.
why "raw"?
Answer: The cooking process that most dog food, treats or supplements undergo, can kill important nutritional benefits rendering the food nutritionally deficient. Our supplement's ingredients are freeze-dried rather than cooked, preserving inherent vitamins, minerals and antioxidants important to your pooch's development and quality of life. Our ingredients are Certified Organic and processed in a Certified Organic, FDA inspected facility and lab tested for pathogens and harmful bacteria. *our "Dog Longevity Video below explains additional benefits of raw.
HOW DO I USE POOCHIE POWDER?
Answer: Poochie Powder comes in a powdered form, with detailed dosing instructions by weight. Most of our customers mix in with their existing dog food. If feeding dry, add a small amount of liquid such as water, bone broth or goat milk. If feeding moist food such as raw diet or canned, feel free to mix right in. Integrating Poochie Powder into home made treats is another popular usage.
WHY CERTIFIED ORGANIC?
Answer: It is sad but true, that most food consumed by humans or animals in the USA that has not been organically certified, has the likelihood to contain deleterious agents like toxic pesticides, antibiotics, chemical or sewer sludge fertilizers, heavy metals, artificial ingredients and dyes, and may have been processed using industrial solvents, irradiation, or genetic engineering (GMO). Why would anyone put anything like that in our or our pet's food? We can't explain it either, but we can promise you that our products have your pet's best interests in mind, which is why our product is Certified Organic.

what are the health benefits of poochie powder's ingredients?
WILD BLUEBERRIES: Blueberries have the highest antioxidant capacity of all commonly consumed fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants have been shown to fight and prevent disease.
BRUSSEL SPROUTS & COLLARD GREENS: Brussel sprouts and collard greens are part of the cruciferous vegetable family, known to be low in calories, high in vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin A, manganese, potassium and dietary fiber. Cruciferous vegetables are also unique because they possess sulfur-containing compounds called glucosinolates, which have been shown to have cancer-fighting properties. They have also been linked to a long list of health benefits, including improved heart health, increased weight loss and reduced inflammation.
HEALTHY LEGUMES (GREEN PEAS): Green peas have an impressive nutrient profile, high in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Green peas are also an excellent source of soluble fiber, an important part of the digestive process. Soluble fiber dissolves helps to lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels.
PARSLEY: Parsley is a powerful heart healthy herb, rich in disease fighting antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K and vitamin B (folic acid). Leafy green vegetables are also an excellent source of minerals and are bursting with carotenoids, folate, chlorophyll, and fiber. These compounds can help stop or slow the growth of some forms of cancer.

is poochie powder® balanced?
Dog diets tend to be quite variable in nutritional value depending upon the type of meat or ingredients used in the food. Small nuances such as whether the primary protein source in your dog's food is 100% grass fed or organic versus grain fed or conventional meats, type of meat (chicken versus beef or duck or venison), quantity of meat fed, whether it's been cooked or air-dried, versus raw or freeze-dried, organ meat versus muscle meat or a combination thereof, etc. can all play a role in nutritional values. Due to these variables, it is not possible to confirm that with the addition of Poochie Powder your dog will have adequate nutrition however, with that being said we can say that Poochie Powder was formulated by a qualified veterinarian with the intended purpose of adding a healthy nutritional boost to a dog's existing diet in order to help support digestion, skin & coat health, immune health, growth/development and general health and vitality.
Most dog health supplements on the market and dog foods for that matter include "vitamins" that have been cooked, heavily processed or are synthetic in nature - as opposed to derived from real food ingredients (like Poochie Powder) which your dog can easily absorb, digest and benefit from. Poochie Powder is a good source of vitamins and minerals (A, C, E, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, etc.). Also found in our ingredients are disease fighting phytonutrients and antioxidants not present in a lot of dog foods or just in meat alone.
There are many schools of thought on what dogs should and shouldn't be eating and it's easy to get confused about what's right and what's wrong. We always go back to a dog's ancestor, the wolf. Wolves primarily feed on deer, rabbits, squirrels and other similar prey - most of which are herbivorous animals and have a diet based primarily on plants, vegetables and wild berries, etc. When a wolf consumes its prey it's not just eating the muscle tissue, it's eating the organ meats (rich in minerals and protein), bone and marrow (calcium and trace minerals), fat (healthy oils), skin and fur and any plant materials in it's digestive tract containing important vitamins, minerals and phytonutrition as well as probiotics and enzymes, etc. A very balanced meal in other words!
