A unique natural dog food formula that may be used for clearing up dermatologic and other conditions caused by adverse food reactions or the buildup of toxins. This formula may also be used for the feeding of animals that require a moderate protein diet because of disease and may be used in the management of canine obesity.
Wilderness Elk Canid Formula™ is fully balanced and meets the requirements of all life stages, but Timberwolf Organics does encourage the adding of meats such as muscle meats, organ meats, sweetbreads (thymus, pancreas), eggs, etc. It has high levels of linolenic acid, or omega 3 essential fatty acids, from the wild salmon oil including EPA and DHA. Timberwolf Organics have developed a new proprietary blend of herbal extracts and higher levels of mixed tocopherols and vitamin E to be able to preserve the high levels omega 3s. Research suggests that a high ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 essential fatty acids (greater than 1 to 6 omega 3 to omega 6) may lower the incidence of cancer and may even help animals with cancer live longer than they would otherwise. EPA benefits the heart and circulatory system by promoting healthy blood triglycerides and blood flow. EPA, along with glucosomine, also plays a role in the natural body movement of joints and can be beneficial to joint pain and inflammation. DHA is the most highly unsaturated fatty acid found in nature. DHA supports normal mental function, optimal memory, focus and learning.
Wilderness Elk Formula™ also contains elk and organs, fresh seeds, cold water fish and gourmet nut oils such as walnut oil, and herbs and fruits such as parsley, thyme, basil, fenugreek, anise seed, blueberries, cranberries, black currants, pear and mint that are used to assist in digestion and for their anti - oxidant properties. Wilderness Elk™ Canid Formula™ makes a wonderful BARF mixer formula for those who wish to add their own meat. Timberwolf Organics does not put vitamin K3 (menadione sodium bisulfate) in any of their formulas because of health risks to animals and rely instead on high levels of foods that are high in vitamin k1 such as alfalfa, kelp, oats, egg yolk, and liver.
If you were to compare the price of this natural dog food with other performance based foods, even performance foods made with less expensive ingredients such as corn or wheat, you will find that Timberwolf foods are priced very competitively. In fact, think of the best possible pet food you can think of, then take their most expensive performance or puppy based formula. Add to that the fact that Timberworlf uses high levels (almost 50% by weight of dry food) of expensive classified low ash high protein animal meals, walnut and salmon oils, expensive gourmet restaurant quality herbs, spirulina, kelp, dried fruits, antioxidants, expensive packaging, etc. Timberwolf also does not use low levels of these ingredients just to make the label look attractive, but high levels that you can actually smell when you open the bag and in results you can see in your pet in just a few weeks. Timberwolf uses a low temperature extrusion process which uses steam and pressure to gelatinize the starches quickly at about 200 - 225 degrees F for 15 minutes or less, enabling more nutrients to be retained.
