As a
Nation in general, we are becoming more aware of the role good nutrition
plays in our health and well being. Remember the old adage
“you are what you eat.” The same chemicals and processing that can and
have caused cancer and many other disorders in humans also plague our
pets. All Shiloh Shepherds™ have been genetically programmed and are fully guaranteed to
be sound of mind and body. This careful breeding program alone is not
enough. The way your puppy matures both physically and mentally is also a
result of his/her diet and environment. With this in mind a great deal of
study and research has been undertaken by Shiloh Shepherd™ Breeders to help the new owner insure their puppy will reach
his/her full genetic potential. The extensive guarantee you have received
is, therefore, contingent on the following agreement. Please take
your responsibilities seriously.
1) I agree to feed my puppy no less then
three
times a day until he/she reaches nine months of age, then I will feed
him/her no less then
two times a day for the remainder of his/her life.
2) I agree NEVER to use a chemically preserved Dog Food. I will feed my
puppy a naturally preserved Kibble. The following are foods approved by
New Zion Kennels in
the order of quality: (a) Eagle Pack (Large Breed Puppy, Natural, or
Holistic), (b) Wysong, (c) Innova, (d) Precise, (e) Nature’s Recipe, (f) Natural Life, (g) Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy, (h) Diamond
Professional/Large Breed Puppy, (I) Maximum Nutrition
Growth Formula, (j) California Natural, (k) Breeder’s Choice, (l)
Flint River (m) Bright Life
(adults only – over one year).
Some of these foods are not available in all parts of the country and I am
sure there are other equally good foods. Please consult your Breeder
first, if you desire to feed a different brand so they may ascertain its
quality.

3) I agree to feed my puppy
RAW
ground Turkey or Chicken in his/her meal, at a rate of no less than ¼
cup per feeding. (Please remove bowl and wash thoroughly after each
feeding.)
4) I agree to feed my puppy LOW FAT (preferably
vanilla) yogurt, at the rate of a heaping tablespoon per day, or
supplement with Fast Track, Benebax, or similar Probiotic products to help
my puppy maintain good flora in his/her digestive tract.
5) I agree
NEVER to supplement with any calcium product, but to offer
natural calcium, such as cottage cheese, in at least one feeding per day
at the rate of two heaping tablespoons especially during the first three
months.
6) I agree to give my puppy Meta C (vitamin C
supplement) or an approved Sodium Ascorbate at the recommended doses for
the age of the puppy; it comes with a complete dose sheet. This can be
ordered from Naturmix at (770)-781-8190.
New
Zion Shilohs has been using Nupro since 2001, and we have been very
pleased with the results.
7) I agree to give my puppy an approved
supplement such as (a) N.R. Seaweed Mineral Food, (b) Solid Gold Sea meal,
(c) Super Blue Green Algae, (d) Daily Greens, or any other
approved supplement.
We
have discovered that some of our dogs will refuse to eat their food if
Missing Link and other such “greens” have been added, due to the foul
taste. Please ask for a sample of these products before making your final
purchase.
8) I agree to give my puppy some raw fresh
fruits or vegetables during the day, such as carrots, celery, apples, etc.
DO NOT FEED TOMATOES, GRAPES, RAISINS! Carrots make a very natural and
nutritious chew toy.
9) I
agree to give my puppy at least 1-4 pieces of
RAW (fresh or frozen - NEVER
COOOKED!!!) chicken wings, ONLY
after their adult teeth are in (approximately
six
months of age) plus
ground fresh (lean) beef, or organ meat such as liver/hearts, etc. 3-4
times per week for his/her entire life. I also agree to give at least one
fresh raw beef bone (with marrow) once a week.
*Please keep in mind that FAT is very detrimental to our dogs
and can lead to mild EPI and other problems. Maintaining a proper balance
(by adding low fat yogurt, cottage cheese, and raw meats) to his diet you
could be extending your dog's life by several years!!
10) I
agree my puppy will not get any kind of grease (especially bacon), raw egg
whites, pork, small cut beef bones, any cooked bones (cooking is what
makes bones brittle and can cause choking and other serious damage to your
puppy), or chocolate, or sugary or starchy foods. I will always check
with my breeder before feeding any foods or supplements not listed.
11) I agree to provide my puppy with a supply of
fresh water at all times, and will not give any other beverage without the
consent of my breeder.
12) I agree to keep all receipts available to
prove I have followed these guidelines. Furthermore, I agree to provide my
puppy with regular vet visits and stool checks to assure that my puppy is
parasite free.
13)
I agree to take my puppy to puppy
kindergarten. If kindergarten is not available, I agree to take my puppy
on frequent outings where he/she will be exposed to other people, animals,
and situations. I understand that failure to give my puppy this exposure
could result in shyness, or damage his/her ability to socialize properly
with people as well as other animals.
14) I agree to continue PROPER socialization as
my puppy gets older through, participation in shows, obedience classes,
and/or continued outings in public places (parks, the mall, etc.). I also
agree to educate myself regarding the various aspects involved in my
puppy’s inherited behavior traits, so that I can help him to attain his
full potential. We would also like to encourage everyone to take advantage
of our free STM forum, where you can ask questions and read advice posted by some of the most highly respected trainers!
I/We
_________________________ hereby agree to abide and follow all the
guidelines for my puppy’s feeding and socialization program for its
entire life. I understand the importance of these strict guidelines for
the proper development of my Shiloh Shepherd™.
I understand to keep my dog in ultimate condition through this worming,
vaccination, and feeding program. I understand that failure to abide and
follow all guidelines, #1-14 of this Nutritional Agreement (revised 09/07)
or
reach an alternative that is agreed upon by both (myself) and (Tina and
Lisa Barber), will automatically dissolve my guarantee making it null and
void. |
