When it comes to dog food, we all want to make sure we are feeding our dogs all the goodness they need without any harmful ingredients or additives. I am one of those dog moms. That’s why I jumped at the opportunity to try Dr. Jeff’s Optimum freeze-dried dog food and Daily Canine Care supplement. My dog was so excited after eating this food that she celebrated with some zoomies!
Meet Townes, the Lucky Taste Tester
I adopted my female Hound Mix from Homeward Bound Animal Welfare Group in 2018. She is two years old and weighs 35 pounds. She currently has a healthy body shape, but I have to be careful about portion size with her. She is a bit on the short side and quickly becomes rotund if overfed. She currently eats a mix of a limited ingredient dry dog food topped with fresh fruit or veggies and homemade meals of meat or fish, whole grains, and veggies. Townes gets regular exercise on our daily 2-3 mile walks.
Why I Worry About Dog Food Quality
I grew up with a family dog and have had dogs of my own throughout my adulthood. Like many of us, I always fed my dogs a dry food that was convenient and affordable without giving much thought to ingredients or processing. That has changed. As I got older and became more aware of nutrition and its impact on my own health, I realized that I needed to have the same concerns for my dogs.
My dogs experienced health issues that I believe were directly tied to the food they ate. Terrible skin allergies plagued my adopted Black Lab Mix, Morgan. Then I lost my sidekick Murphy to cancer. I want Townes to live the longest, healthiest life possible. The food she eats plays an incredibly important role in that.
Longevity and Diet
In a landmark five year study of over 500 dogs, researchers Bruno Sapy and Dr. Gerard Lippert concluded that a dog’s diet is one of the most significant contributors to longevity. In fact, their research showed that dogs who eat homemade meals made from whole foods lived an average of 32 months longer than those who ate commercial dog food. That is almost three years! Dr. Jeff’s Optimum and Daily Canine Care supplements are well-balanced, affordable, and nutritionally advanced. They offer you the convenience of kibble with the benefits of homemade, contributing to happiness, a lower risk of disease and obesity, and a longer life.
About Dr. Jeff: Food For Dog Lovers, Made by Dog Lovers
Dr. Jeff is a nationally renowned veterinarian and pet journalist. For over 35 years, he has been practicing veterinary medicine in Los Angeles. He is known as the “Celebrity Vet” for treating dogs whose humans have celebrity status. Dr. Jeff was drawn to veterinary medicine because of his love for animals. That love is the driving force behind Dr. Jeff’s freeze-dried dog food and supplement. He and his team of dog lovers have developed a well-balanced, affordable, nutritionally advanced food, and probiotic supplement that helps dogs live longer, healthier, happier lives.
The Benefits of Freeze-Dried Food
Freeze-drying is the most nutritionally sound way to preserve food. Freeze-dried foods are the same size and shape as the original food. They do not require refrigeration and are shelf-stable for long periods of time. When you place freeze-dried foods in water, they reconstitute, returning to their original form. According to industry leader Freeze-Dry Foods, freeze-dried foods “maintain nutrients, color, flavor, and texture often indistinguishable from the original product.” Dr. Jeff’s freeze-dried dog food allows you to serve your dog the nutritional equivalent of homemade fresh foods without the fuss.
Dr. Jeff’s Wholesome Freeze-Dried Food for Dogs
The ingredients in Dr. Jeff’s Optimum are simple, limited, and real. Beef, turkey, and duck are the first ingredients in this 32% protein food for dogs. Optimum also includes two different types of organ meat and two different types of seafood. Actual fruit and vegetables and specially selected additives like turmeric, folic acid, and kelp make this formula uniquely designed for health and wellness. The ingredients are not just wholesome; they are evolutionary.
Optimum was designed by experts who understand what a dog should be eating. Dog moms and dads can feel secure knowing their dog will get all the energy-lifting and disease-fighting ingredients they need with Optimum. They can also feel confident that Optimum is free of artificial flavors, colors, synthetic preservatives, and biologically unsound fillers like corn, soy, and wheat.
My Dog Chowed Down on Dr. Jeff’s Optimum
When changing to Optimum, you should phase it in over the course of a week. This is done to avoid digestive upset for your dog. A handy schedule is included in the package that Dr. Jeff’s ships for free. When I opened the package, my dog recognized right away that something special was about to be served up. I added water per the instructions and watched as the nuggets rehydrated and released a dog-pleasing aroma of meat.
I could barely get the bowl down before she gobbled it up and licked the bowl. Afterward, she was positively bursting with energy and showed me how happy she was with an athletic zoom around the yard. I like to mix things up for her at meals, offering her a variety of tastes and textures. One of the things that I like best about Dr. Jeff’s Optimum is that it can be used as the primary meal or as a topper to change things up.
Daily Canine Care Probiotic Supplement
One of the easiest ways to support well being is through probiotic supplementation. This is true for humans and dogs! Probiotics support healthy digestion, nutrient absorption, and the body’s immune system. Dr. Jeff’s Canine Care gives your dogs an unprecedented ten different strains of probiotics along with three super ingredients.
Using Daily Canine Care Powder Supplement
When I first used Dr. Jeff’s Canine Care, Townes’ nose let her know that something delicious was being sprinkled on her food. This supplement is infused with bacon flavor, and we all know that dog’s dig bacon. It was helpful to mix in into the other food with a bit of water, which spread the pleasant taste over the entire dish and ensured that she would ingest all of the dissolved powder.
I look forward to seeing how this supplement will help her maintain a healthy weight and body shape. She also has pretty severe anxiety in the car. Research has pointed to a reduction in anxious behaviors in canines through probiotic supplementation. Using this potent 10-strain formula may be just the supplement she needs to feel calm and relaxed on necessary car rides.
