VERVEAll-Natural Dog Foods Home-made, made easy! |
VERVE:
n. Great Enthusiasm or Liveliness, Energy, Vivacity, Zeal.
The diet that started it all, the original dehydrated raw dog food. Verve is made with beef and organic grains. This diet is an excellent option for those who want a more wholesome and less processed meal for their pets. Like all our recipes, Verve is 100% human grade dog food. Suitable For Adult maintenance; senior dogs; moderate to lower activity levels.
Verve now contains no bell peppers or peppermint, and more beef!
Both our "Verve" & "Force" foods are formulated to meet the AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance and you don't have to add anything to make them 'complete'. However, the original idea behind these diets was as a base for a raw or other home made diet and to facilitate that, they are somewhat 'lite' in terms of fat and protein, so that your own choice of raw, or cooked, meat can be added, if desired. It is entirely a matter of personal choice (and your dog's taste!) whether you add in extra meat and other ingredients, or not. Most people with younger and more active dogs like to mix in the additional meat, and those with senior or overweight animals usually prefer to feed the food alone. Please call or email if you would like to discuss what is right for your dog.
Preparation: No cooking required! Each 4 oz cup of Verve should simply be hydrated with 1 to 1-1/4 cups of pure, warm, filtered or tap water or boiled water that has been allowed to cool. It is best not to add boiling water directly to Verve, as this will destroy many of the enzymes & nutrients present. Add the water to the food and stir. The product will initially resemble soup. Let stand for 10 minutes minimum for the ingredients to rehydrate sufficiently. Add your own raw meat, meaty bones, cooked meat or other ingredients if you wish.
VERVE is a combination of 100% human food grade ingredients.
