Why we Feed Paleo Ridge Raw Dog Food

We've been feeding Paleo Ridge raw dog food for approx 5 years now after our vet reccomended changing Boris onto a raw diet due to his Staph Pseudintermedius skin problem

The Staph Pseudintermedius Bacteria had caused much of Boris's coat to fall out and left him with open sores filled with pus, it was extremely painful for him and for over a year he'd endured daily medicated baths, various steroids and so many different types of antibiotics plus numerous blood and skin tests

Nothing seemed to help for long and relief was often short lived, until one day we saw a new vet who'd recently arrived at our practice, she recognised what it was immediately as her own dog also has this very difficult to diagnose skin condition which has such varied non specific symtoms and is pretty much antibiotic resistant 

We immediately had another round of skin scrapings done and specific culture's were ordered to be grown. Finally at last had a tentetive  diagnosis, a rush order was put in for some very specific antibiotics thats aren't normally held in vet practices and I was advised to switch Boris to a raw diet with high doses of Omega 3&6
Within a few days it was confirmed that Boris did indeed have Staph Pseudintermedius

After some research it didn't take me long to decide on Paleo Ridge, as soon as I saw that they only used ethically sourced meat from sustainable farming and how much they cared for the environment by not using those awful polystyrene boxs for deliveries I was hooked

Even the wool cool strips used for the insulation are recyclable, they can be used for so many different things, we use some of ours to keep the slugs at bay on our allotment

Once you have 12 wool cool strips saved you can then return them back to Paleo Ridge free of charge, it not only helps the planet by recycling them and reducing waste but you earn discount points which are then added to your account for you to spend on future orders

Within a week of changing to Paleo Ridge no more pus was seeping out of Boris's skin and it appeared to be drying out nicely, after approx 3 weeks Boris's fur start growing back again

Boris is rarely troubled by his Staph Pseudintermedius these days and flare ups are infrequent, all thanks to a healthy raw diet and pure luck that we saw the new vet at our practise that day who'd had experience of this very frustrating skin condition before
