Pickwick Pugs recommends pawTree and/or raw, NuVet vitamins, pawTree supplements, and Raw Goats Milk. From the food (kibble and freeze-dried raw), to the treats, supplements, bone broth, and superfood pairings, pawTree is far superior to anything you can find in a big box store. PawTree uses all natural holistic ingredients in their products. No artificial flavors, by-products, chemicals, or fillers. No corn, wheat, or soy. No added sugars or sweeteners. #1 ingredient is always meat. Everything is made in the USA, no recalls, designed by top Veterinarians and Nutritionists, and backed by a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. You can't put a price on a healthy pet.
We ask that all Pickwick pug owners continue to use these products because we have researched, and tried most every product on the market including brands such as Origen, Fromm, and Farmina N&D (for extended periods of time). With our entire grumble -- from puppies to seniors -- we have seen tremendous results after using pawTree. We also add PawTree fish oil, CBD for seniors, probiotics, and NuVet daily vitamin. Stools are better, coats are shinier, energy levels are up, we don't see issues with allergies or upset stomachs, and all of our pugs consistently love every single flavor and variety. They especially love the treats and the paw-Seasonings which we add on rare occasions.
A holistic vet recommended this nutritional plan for us (we also top the pawTree kibble with a scoop of raw meat, raw goats milk) and we have never turned back. Holistic vets focus on proactive, preventative medicine. With no fillers or by-products, pawTree's nutritionally-dense food is rich in named-animal proteins and antioxidants, providing the pure, natural nutrition your pug needs. As a result, you'll feed less per day than other pet food. PawTree's holistic approach to pet nutrition allows your pug to thrive, not just survive.

While Pickwick Pugs love their vets, (above is Dr. Williams with our most recent puppy from the Bridgerton Litter, Theophilus Doyle), we also love the fact that PawTree is a preventative measure and helps us avoid costly vet visit.
Why do we recommend pawTree and NuVet?
At Pickwick Pugs, we are serious about promoting long-term health. We do NOT short-change our puppies with cheap brands full of corn, by-products or low-end fillers. Health is a top priority for us. Pickwick Pugs personally invests a lot financially to make sure the puppies receive some of the best nutrition on the market with therapeutic levels of ingredients. We work hard to give our puppies the best start in life.
We only recommend pawTree food (especially the freeze-dried raw) and supplements, or raw, and NuVet vitamins.

We have been truly blessed to have avoided horrific issues many other pug breeders have dealt with, such as PDE. Much of this, of course, is genetics but also our extensive health screening, research, and amazing guidance from longtime, very experienced breeders and veterinarians .... and prayer.
We also believe nutrition is an important component and we believe so strongly in the quality of pawTree™ and Nuvet products that we actually offer an extended health guarantee for Pickwick pugs who continue to use the customized nutritional plan we recommend, revised as needed with our ongoing recommendations.
We want Pickwick pugs to thrive, not just survive. When our Pickwick show pugs enter the Best of Breed ring ... or even when our rescues enter Home Depot! ... we want them to shine from the inside out. We have learned over the years, first-hand, that cutting corners with cheaper food doesn't work in the long run so we don't mess around anymore with what we feed our pets. We've learned that by being pro-active with purposeful supplementation, we can avoid nearly 80% of costly vet visits.
We do NOT recommend Science Diet, Purina Proplan, Purina One, Wellness, Taste of the Wild, Stella and Chewy, Diamond Naturals, Origen, Fromm, Royal Canin, and most other brands. Ziwi, Farmina, Carna4, and raw diets are the only other foods we would consider but we love pawTree -- the entire experience -- and love supporting a smaller company and USA made. We also love supporting companies who have NEVER had any recalls (pawTree and NuVet). These videos explain some of our concerns with many of these popular brands . . . . .

On this website we have included links to products that we use regularly with our own grumble and that we highly recommend. Anyone who knows us can vouch that we only use the best of the best products for our pets -- food, shampoo, treats, vitamins, even our toile designer crate covers -- so consider anything we recommend as thoroughly tried and proven.
Most of the products we recommend are manufactured in the USA by small family companies. These small American companies can’t compete with the big dollar marketing campaigns of the large multinational conglomerates that control most of the pet supply business. We hope you will choose to support small family companies like ours and many of the manufacturers we recommend, instead of large multinational conglomerates that are known for food and product recalls as well as off-shore sourcing and manufacturing. Affiliate Statement Disclaimer: Some of those products have affiliate links, where we get a very small commission for referral. Those commissions help support the time we spend in testing, reviewing, and sharing our experiences with those products. WE ARE NOT PAID FOR FAVORABLE PRODUCT REVIEWS and our opinions are our own. |
