At Angrboda Bandogs, nutrition isn’t just a routine — it’s a cornerstone of our dogs’ health, performance, and longevity.
What goes into the bowl directly shapes everything from muscle tone and fertility to temperament and disease resistance.
We believe in feeding as close to nature as possible, using fresh, species-appropriate foods to build strong, resilient dogs from the inside out. Our dogs are athletes and working animals — they require fuel that supports recovery, stamina, and cellular health, not just calories.
About eleven years ago, I met a dog who stopped me in my tracks. She had the most stunning coat I had ever seen — soft, shiny, and full, with perfect skin, bright eyes, and flawless muscle tone. As someone who’s been around dogs for over thirty-five years, it takes a lot to impress me — but I couldn’t look away.
When I asked her owners about her, they told me she’d come in as a rescue with severe allergies and complete hair loss. Multiple vets had prescribed medications and special diets, but nothing worked. Finally, a holistic vet switched her to a raw diet, and within three months, she was glowing — her coat returned, her energy soared, and every trace of her condition disappeared.
That was the moment that changed everything for me.
I dove headfirst into research — reading veterinary journals, holistic nutrition studies, and countless case reports — and within weeks, I made the decision to transition my own dogs to raw. The results were nothing short of life-changing.
Cleaner teeth, smaller stools, glossier coats, sharper focus, and far fewer digestive issues. Over a decade later, I can say with confidence: I will never go back.
I’ve been in the trenches. I’ve seen the difference firsthand. And I will never listen to anyone who tells me that raw feeding is “dangerous” — not when the results are living, breathing proof standing in front of me every day.
Our dogs are fed according to the 80/10/10 ratio — 80% muscle meat, 10% bone, and 10% organ (half liver, half other secreting organs).
This formula mirrors the natural prey model that canines evolved to eat.
We also include green tripe, whole eggs, goat’s milk, and seasonal produce to balance enzymes, probiotics, and antioxidants.
Every component has a purpose — nothing is filler, nothing is wasted.
lthough we raise most of our raw food, seasonal availability or heavy workloads sometimes limit what we have on hand. In those cases, we carefully supplement with kibble — not as a replacement, but as a nutritional bridge.
After testing and comparing many brands, we feed Black Gold Explorer Super Performance.
Here’s why:
We’ve found this particular kibble pairs well with our raw program, maintaining energy levels and body condition even during demanding work or training seasons.
Raw feeding isn’t magic — it’s biology.
Dogs are carnivores designed to process and extract nutrients from raw meat, bone, and organ. When fed accordingly, you see:
What you feed either fuels vitality or fights it. Raw feeding simply restores what nature intended.
Even with a whole-food diet, certain supplements enhance health and performance:
We supplement minimally and purposefully — never overdoing or adding fads.
We don’t feed based on social media trends or emotion.
We feed based on decades of observation, science, and results.
Grain-free fads, vegan dog diets, and over-supplementation are modern mistakes that ignore basic biology. Balance — not extremes — creates health.
Our goal is simple: to produce dogs that thrive — inside and out.
Healthy coats, strong bones, sound temperaments, and long working lives all begin with nutrition.
At Angrboda Bandogs, we feed raw because we’ve seen the difference.
We don’t do what’s easy — we do what works.
