Welcome to Herbal Dog.
A dog food with a difference!

• Herbal Dog dog food is minimally processed. For example, the oats are steamed rolled, the coconut oil is cold pressed, the black strap molasses has been boiled, and the herbs and vegetables have been dried. This food is full of the vitamins and minerals that are so important to health. 
• Not only is our dog food minimally processed, there are no preservatives and nothing artificial.
• No Animal or Meat By-Products. Our dog food comes in Peanut Butter or Egg, with Very Veggie coming later. The food contains oats, peas, peanut butter or egg, and other vegetables and herbs providing nutrition and protein that our dogs thrive on. Dogs naturally eat greens and plants to help fulfill their dietary needs. 
• Our dog food contains only high-quality, human-quality ingredients that we are willing to eat ourselves. The egg flavor actually contains real egg and the peanut butter flavor contains real peanut butter powder. These are real ingredients and not just a "flavoring".
• This is a dry food mix which becomes a wet dog food when water is added. One pound dry mix added to four cups of warm, pure water is equal to about 4 - 13 ounce cans of wet dog food.
• There is a lot less packaging with our dry food mix than with cans of wet dog food. Our dog food will come in a box made from recycled paper which was produced using wind power in compliance with the sustainable forestry initiative. And the box is recyclable, too!
• Created by Master Herbalists
• Contains no corn, no wheat, no soy.
• Contains nothing grown in China.
• Contains no GMO's

    This project has been a slow evolution over the past two years. It started when we adopted a half starved English Mastiff. He was so skinny that every time I looked at him I would put some sort of food in his mouth. I was just completing my master herbalist training and was very aware of the importance of good nutrition for health. Every time I opened a can of dog food or poured out some kibble for our 3 dogs, I would cringe at the thought of all of the chemicals and processing that was in their food. My mother told me that when she was growing up her aunt would feed their dogs corm meal with bacon grease. I was not going to give my dogs a steady diet of corn meal and bacon grease but it did give me the encouragement I needed to start making my own dog food using recipes that I found online. Making food for 3 large dogs became a very time-consuming process. Also, I hated the thought of using chicken because of the videos that I watched showing how mistreated they were. I knew that there had to be a better way to feed my dogs that had no chemicals or processing and that did not take all day to make tow weeks' worth of food. I drew upon my knowledge as an herbalist and after countless hours of studying about nutritional needs of canines, I developed a great recipe that was significantly easier to prepare. My dogs loved it and I felt that it would meet their needs.
    I was taking a one-week trip with my older children and leaving my husband at home with the younger children and the dogs. I needed an even easier way for him to prepare the dogs food. I developed the dry mix formula to meet this need. I realized that there were other people who might want a healthier and easy to make dog food too.
    A good friend and fellow Master Herbalist, Robyn and I perfected the dog food formula. Together we went over each ingredient and its importance to nutrition and health in dogs. I have fed our dogs this food for two years now and have seen marvelous and surprising results. My 13-year-old mixed breed dog is healthier and more energetic than he was 2 years ago. My 9-year-old English Mastiff is at a healthy weight now. His once brittle toenails are now healthy and he is well. And my mixed breed 6-year-old dog has a shiny coat and is healthy as well.
