| 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.
