As a nation in general, we are becoming more aware in the role good nutrition plays in the health and well being of ourselves. Remember the old adage “you are what you eat”. The same chemicals and processing that can and have caused cancer and many others in humans, also plague our pets. All Shiloh Shepherds have been genetically programmed and are fully guaranteed to be of sound 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 ensure their puppy will reach his/her full genetic potential. The extensive puppy guarantee you have received is contingent on the following agreement.

• I agree to feed my puppy no less than 3 times a day until he/she reaches 9 months of age, then I will feed him/her no less than 2 times a day for his/her life.
• I agree NEVER to use a chemically preserved Dog Food or regular puppy food. I will feed my puppy a naturally preserved kibble. The following foods are approved by Strauss Haus Shepherds: a) Flint River Ranch Premium Health Food , b) Canidae, c) Nutro, d) Wysong, e) California Natural, f) Eagle, g) Diamond, h) Natural Balance, i) Orjien Large Breed Puppy. I will not feed my puppy regular “puppy food” but “Large Breed puppy food” may be acceptable. Please consult me first if you desire to feed a different brand so I may ascertain it’s quality.
• I agree to feed my puppy RAW ground turkey or chicken in his/her meal, at the rate of no less that ¼ cup per feeding.
• I agree to feed my puppy plain yogurt at the rate of a heaping Tablespoon per day, or supplement with “Fast Track”, “Pro-zyme”, “K-zyme”, or “Probios”.
• I agree NEVER to supplement with any calcium product, but to offer natural calcium such as cottage cheese, in at least one feeding a day at the rate of 2 heaping Tablespoons.
• I agree to give my puppy MetaC (Vitamin C supplement) or an approved Sodium Ascorbate at the recommended dosage for the age of the puppy. (Meta C comes with a dose sheet). This can be ordered from Naturemix at (770)781-8190.
• I agree to give my puppy an approved supplement such as a) N.R. Seaweed mineral food, b) Solid Gold Seameal, c) Super Blue Green Algae, d) Daily Greens or any other approved supplement.
• I agree to give my puppy some raw fresh fruits or vegetables during the day, such as carrots, celery, apples, etc. NO TOMATOES! NO GRAPES! Carrots make a very natural and nutritious chew toy!
• I agree to give my puppy at least 1-4 pieces of RAW (fresh or frozen) chicken wings, plus lean ground beef, or organ meat such as liver/hearts, etc. 3-4 times a week for his/her entire life. I also agree to give at least one fresh raw beef bone (with marrow) once a week.
• I agree my puppy will not get grease, small cut beef bones, any cooked bones (cooking is what makes bones brittle and can choke and cause other damage to your puppy), or sugary or starchy foods. I will always check with my breeder before feeding any foods or supplements not listed.
• 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.
• 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 my puppy is parasite free.
• I agree to take my puppy to Puppy Kindergarten. If puppy 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 other people as well as animals. I agree to continue socialization as my puppy gets older, through shows, obedience class,
and/or continued outings in public places (parks, the mall, etc.).
• Nupro Joint contains most of all of the supplements above, in one easy product.

I/We__________________________________________________hereby agree to abide and follow all the guidelines for my puppy’s feeding program for it’s
entire life. I understand the importance of this strict program for the development of my Shiloh Shepherd. I agree to keep the dog in ultimate condition
through this feeding program. I agree that failure to abide and follow all guidelines of this nutritional agreement, or reach an alternative that is agreed
upon by both the owner and the breeder will automatically dissolve my guarantee making it null and void.
