No. Even though Emma Lou’s uses the absolute best quality animal protein with no added hormones, we don’t believe that animal protein should ever be fed raw. Produce even if certified organic can never compare to the quality of meat of the animal a canine would naturally catch in the wild. However, a lot of our veggies in our recipes are steam cooked such as our green beans, broccoli, etc. We also include completely raw ingredients such as flax seed powder, parsley and apple, etc.

When you call or email us we will ask you a series of questions. We will tell you what we recommend based on breed, weight and any health issues or allergies your dog might have.

Our customers have reported improvement in dogs with Anxiety, Weight Problems, Mucous and Slobber, Snoring, Dehydration, Fatigue, Coarse Coat, Tear Stains, Digestive Issues, Coprophagia, Excessive Shedding, Tumors, Flatulence and more.

No. While cooked chicken and rice is better for them than commercial dog food, it is not a balanced diet. Our food meets and exceeds the AAFCO nutritional profile for dogs which is essential to their health.

Yes. Our food, unlike a lot of commercial dog food, has an exact caloric count which means you can monitor your dogs caloric intake exactly.

Because we ship with dry ice, our minimum amount per order is $120. 

All three of our formulas are grain-free. The part of the quinoa plant that we eat is the seed — it’s not a grain. It grows from a plant in the goosefoot family, which also produces edibles such as chard and spinach. So although we treat it like a grain, it is not in fact a grain.
