Lamb, Barley and Apples
A lamb and barley based formula is an effective aid in the nutritional management of adverse food reactions in canines. This formula is the only lamb based formula that we know of that has such a high level of lamb based protein and contains no poultry, beef or by - product meals; nor soy, wheat or Corn. Designed to satisfy the urgent nutritional requirements of stressed, growing, convalescing or older canines where a concentrated source of nutrition is required. Nutrient Dense Lamb, Barley & Apples Formula is a meat based formula that has over 10 lbs. of lamb and fish meal for every 20 lbs of dog food. The high levels of amino acids provide the building blocks necessary for a thick vibrant coat, healthy pink skin, a strong immune system and excellent muscle tone. Melanin, a protein that provides pigmentation, is built from amino acids consumed in the diet. This formula contains high levels of highly digestible ingredients and concentrated sources of nutrients. It also contains gourmet fresh Walnut oil and herbs such as rosemary, anise seed and mint that are used to assist in digestion and for their anti - oxidant properties. You will find it has a pleasant rosemary and roasted walnut aroma.
The Lamb, Barley and Apples formula makes a good mixer formula for meat as it has the highest levels of calcium, magnesium, manganese and zinc. This helps to balance the added phosphorous levels of the meat.
They 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.

Your pet's nutritional requirements will vary according to age, breed, climate, stress and activity levels. When switching to Timberwolf Organics pet foods gradually increase the amount fed while decreasing the previous food over a 5 - 14 day period. It is prudent to switch any new food gradually but because Timberwolf Organics pet foods are unique your pet may need more time to increase the bacteria necessary to completely digest some of the ingredients. We have included direct fed microbials or "probiotics" to assist in the development of beneficial colonies. Over feeding can also cause digestive upset and therefore feeding should be adjusted accordingly. You will find that you will feed as little as half of what you were previously feeding. Please do not overfeed!
Timberwolf Organics pet foods are both formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages and have met animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures to substantiate that they provide complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages.
It is not necessary, but your pet can be supplemented with the Wild Salmon Oil and fresh meat, organs, sweetbreads and tripe if you desire. We do not recommend the feeding of chicken or turkey necks or backs unless included in the proper ratio as a part of the "whole animal".
Please provide plenty of fresh clean water for your pet at all times. In addition to proper diet and fresh water for optimum health, your pet needs regular exercise, fresh air, lots of love and attention and regular veterinary care. Try to schedule a veterinary checkup at least once a year.
