NUTRITION

At The GVP we are even more passionate about how our dogs look on the inside than the outside, as 'you are what you eat'.

​

Raw feeding for some is a sensitive topic, however Vizsla's have sensitive tummies so it is truly the best option for them!  But, even before we get into the benefits, ask yourself one simple question "Are dogs carnivores?" The simple answer is yes. Dogs have evolved to eat meat and bone. The structure of their jaws, their teeth and their digestive system have not changed at all since the days that they would hunt and scavenge for their own food which is why it makes sense to continue to feed them raw meat and bone, just as nature intended.

Feeding a raw diet (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food diet "BARF") to your dog will help ensure that they are getting all the vital vitamins, minerals and nutrients that will keep them fit and healthy.

​

We at The GVP have sampled many different ranges of raw food and our chosen Raw Food Supplier is Natural Instinct.  This is the food each and every single puppy will make their transition from 'Mum' to food.  They have developed ‘human grade complete raw food for pets’ – so if you ever get hungry!!!!.  They work closely with leading specialists and vets.  Feeding raw can be as easy or as complicated as you would like to make it, but do not panic – just remember a good varied diet of quality meat and essential vitamins/vegetables is the most important thing.  

​
