| 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.
