Beef Meat, Beef Organs

The free-range, grass-fed beef is rich in protein and free of added hormones, steroids, and antibiotics. Darwin’s visits each farm that raises its meat to ensure good farming practices, quality animal feed, and proper treatment of workers.

Fish Oil 

Generally speaking, smaller fish contain less contamination than larger fish. This EPA/DHA 18/12 fish oil derived from wild caught sardines is one of the safest and healthiest forms of omega.

Sunflower Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil balances alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA).

Cod Liver Oil

Research reveals that vitamin D supports normal kidney function. Cod liver oil is a whole-food source of vitamin D and natural alternative to synthetic vitamin D.

Spirulina

This super green food, a micro-algae similar to phytoplankton, contains key micro-nutrients to help maintain kidney health.

Inulin

Inulin (Extract of Chicory Root), a prebiotic, nourishes probiotics to promote gut health.

Dandelion Root Powder

Dandelion is a blood purifier, and prebiotic.

Corn Silk

In traditional Chinese medicine, corn silk is a kidney tonic and is also used to support a healthy bladder wall lining.

Turmeric

Turmeric provides natural support for the immune system.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon balances blood pressure and helps regulate blood sugar that is already in the normal range. The antioxidant-rich ingredient also has supportive neuroprotective effects, offers cognitive support, and promotes dental health.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E supports kidney membranes.

Cranberry

Cranberry is a urinary tract tonic that is rich in antioxidants.

Chitosan

Chitosan is derived from chitin obtained from the shell of coldwater shrimp, Pandalus borealis, harvested off the coast of Iceland. This all-natural substance helps the body manage phosphorous levels.

Aloe Vera

Armed with soothing and cooling properties, Aloe Vera supports whole-body health.

B Vitamins

Because B vitamins are excreted in urine this formula contains high levels to replace the vitamin systemically.

Dogs should be fed 2-4% of their body weight per day. One Darwin meal patty is equivalent to an 8oz. cup of dry dog food. For weekly and monthly calculation, the following can be used as a guide:

  • A 10Ib dog will eat 2-2 ½Ibs per week or 10Ibs per month
  • A 25Ib dog will eat 8Ibs per week or 32Ibs per month 
  • A 75Ib dog will eat 10-10 ½Ibs per week or 42Ibs per month
  • A 100Ib dog will eat 14Ibs per week or 56Ibs per month

Feeding guidelines may vary based on your dog’s age, size, weight, and activity level. If you are confused about how much to feed your dog, we offer free menu consultation by phone or email. We also recommend monitoring your dog’s weight so you can adjust his diet for weight gain or loss.
