| A highly useful formula
for clearing up dermatologic
and other conditions caused
by adverse food reactions or
the buildup of toxins, or
for those that wish to add
their own protein sources,
such as lamb, beef, chicken,
turkey, eggs, salmon, yogurt
etc, This formula may also
be used for the feeding of
animals that require a low
protein or low fat diet
because of disease and may
be used in the management of
canine obesity. Black Forest
Canid Formula™ is fully
balanced and meets the
requirements of all life
stages, but we do encourage
the adding of meats such as
muscle meats, organ meats,
sweetbreads (thymus,
pancreas), eggs etc. It has
high levels of linolenic
acid, or omega 3 essential
fatty acids, from our wild
salmon oil including EPA and
DHA. In fact, it has the
highest ratio of omega 3 to
omega 6 fatty acids (1/1.5)
that we know of and has
1.25% omega 3 essential
fatty acids by weight. We
have developed a new
proprietary blend of herbal
extracts and higher levels
of mixed tocopherols and
vitamin E to be able to
preserve the high levels
omega 3s. Research suggests
that a high ratio of omega 3
to omega 6 essential fatty
acids (greater than 1 to 6
omega 3 to omega 6) may
lower the incidence of
cancer and may even help
animals with cancer live
longer than they would
otherwise. EPA benefits the
heart and circulatory system
by promoting healthy blood
triglycerides and blood
flow. EPA, along with
glucosomine, also plays a
role in the natural body
movement of joints and can
be beneficial to joint pain
and inflammation. DHA is the
most highly unsaturated
fatty acid found in nature.
DHA supports normal mental
function, optimal memory,
focus and learning. Black
Forest Formula™ also
contains fresh venison meat
and organs, fresh seeds,
cold water fish and gourmet
nut oils such as walnut oil,
and herbs and fruits such as
parsley, thyme, basil,
fenugreek, anise seed,
blueberries, cranberries,
black currants, pear and
mint that are used to assist
in digestion and for their
anti - oxidant properties.
Black Forest Canid Formula™
makes a wonderful BARF mixer
formula for those who wish
to add their own meat as it
has higher levels of calcium
(1.5%) in relation to
phosphorous levels to
balance the phosphorous of
added meat and because it
has high levels of EPA fatty
acids. You may notice a very
slight dark greenish tint to
the kibble, do not be
alarmed, it is the high
levels of spirulina (spirulina
is a very dark green, almost
black) and fenugreek. We do
not put vitamin K3 (menadione
sodium bisulfate) in any of
our formulas because of
health risks to animals and
rely instead on high levels
of foods that are high in
vitamin k1 such as alfalfa,
kelp, oats, egg yolk, and
liver.
