Winter blues? Summer highs? Fall and spring doldrums?  We’ve all experienced some sort of mood shift due to weather changes especially when it comes to extreme temperatures. When the temperature is over 90 degrees out, we feel sluggish, lethargic, and disinclined to do anything active. Similarly, in the extreme cold (below freezing), we wrap up in warm clothes, hunker down, and stay indoors if at all possible. Just like humans are affected by the changes to the weather so are your pets.  It may not be as obvious (since they don’t complain about the weather!), but the signs are there...

  Many dog and cat owners believe the foods they feed their pets are comprehensive in nutrition enough that they don’t need to add any supplements. While health food for pets like Viand Pet Foods certainly boosts the nutritional value of your pet’s daily intake, sometimes, special needs can call for supplementation. In this post, we’ll go over some of the supplements your pet might need! At Viand Pet, we take a holistic approach to your pet’s needs. We only use real meats that are of the highest quality so that your pet gets the most out of it. None...

Just like humans, some pets also suffer from seasonal and year-round allergies. One of the main symptoms of seasonal allergies...

  What is holistic dog food? When people think of holistic, many of them immediately think of yoga, crystals, and essential oils. While this certainly may be the case in some holistic practices, let’s focus on dogs. Although dogs do have a yoga pose named after them, they’re probably not going to be meditating with crystals or appreciating your essential oil diffuser quite as much as you do. But they can benefit greatly from eating holistic dog food. Healthy dog food is a foundation for your dog’s longevity and quality of life. Feeding them foods made with real meat is...

When it comes to your dog or cat, you want to keep them around for as long as possible, and as healthy as possible. You want a food that will not only fill them up, but with no fillers, and keep them healthy. You want a food that doesn’t have gluten, grains, or other junk. You want Viand Pet food.

I know that many people get scared away when they see the cleansing or detox diet as a transition into the new Viand diet. As it seems like a lot of work, the benefits are usually seen earlier than the following easier transition that I have so often offered to those that don't want to do the work, not a problem. Day 1. Only offer your dog low Sodium chicken broth, as much as they want. Day 2 & 3  & 5.  Feed them HALF the amount of food FOR THE DAY that the package recommends Day 6 and on.....Feed the...
