Nutritional Agreement
As a Nation in general, we are becoming more aware in 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 contingent on the following agreement. Please take your responsibilities seriously.
1) I agree to feed my puppy no less than three times a day until he/she reaches nine months of age, then I will feed him/her no less than two times a day for 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) Victor Hi Pro +, (b) 4-Health, (c) Fromm, or an equivalent food. If you desire to feed a different brand, please consult your breeders first, so they may ascertain its quality. We also recommend that you join our Facebook group and participate in the latest nutritional discussions. If you wish to pursue raw diets or alternate diets please contact me.
3) I agree to feed my puppy 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.)
Note: We use frozen turkey chubs that are safe and available in most supermarkets, not the fresh ground meat found in the regular meat sections.
4) I agree to feed my puppy LOWFAT (preferably vanilla) yogurt, at the rate of a heaping tablespoon per day, or supplement with ProBios, or Saccharomyces Boulardii (recommended by New Zion) 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 if needed, such as cottage cheese, in at least one feeding per day at the rate of two heaping tablespoons per day.
6) I agree to give my puppy an approved supplement such as Nupro or NuVet (used by New Zion)
You can order it at www.nuvet.com or calling 1-800-474-7044 please use reference # 70700
7) 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, you can also soak them in broth and freeze them.
8) 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 choke and cause 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.
*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!!
**IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE PRINT OUT THIS LIST!!!
9) 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.
10) 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.
11) 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.
12) 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/her to attain his full potential. Please be careful of dog parks and please research them out before taking your puppy. Please educate yourself about things like Brucellosis and other diseases your puppy can pick up.
I/We _________________________ hereby agree to abide with 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 agree to keep my dog in ultimate condition through this worming, vaccination, and feeding program. I understand that failure to abide with and follow all guidelines, #1-12 of this Nutritional Agreement (revised 11/14) or reach an alternative that is agreed upon by both (myself) and (Lisa Barber), will automatically dissolve my guarantee making it null and void.
