Dr. Harvey’s Raw Vibrance Dog Food, Human Grade Dehydrated Base Mix for Dogs, Grain Free Raw Diet (3 Pounds)

Dr. Harvey’s is a blessing; it’s saving my dog’s life
QUICK REVIEW: Dr. Harvey’s base mix and supplements have, without a doubt, extended my dog’s life and improved his mobility. He no longer requires prescription dog food, nor any other medications. Dr. Harvey’s is worth every penny.A BIT OF HISTORY: One year ago, we got the terrible news that our senior shih tzu mix Francis had kidney disease. Our vet immediately switched Francis to a prescription dog food and while he ate the food without complaint, he was miserable. On the prescription food, Francis was constantly hungry and begging for food. He gained considerable weight and developed mobility impairment and painful joints. We couldn’t tell what was worse–the kidney disease or the prescription kidney diet.After searching online to find a better alternative, we came across Dr. Harvey’s. Like others recommended, we called Dr. Harvey’s directly and spoke with the kindest woman who listened to our concerns with compassion, experience, and wisdom. She recommended Raw Vibrance to help with Francis’ weight loss, instructed us on the right protein (1.5 ounces of beef or 1 egg white per meal), and encouraged us to call back with questions. In addition to Raw Vibrance, we started him on both the Dr. Harvey’s Kidney Health Support Supplement and Golden Years Supplement.ABOUT HIS PROGRESS: Flash forward to one year after Francis’ initial diagnosis–His kidney labs are stable (some labs even got a bit better!), he has lost considerable weight and his mobility has improved significantly. While he’s still a senior dog, he’s the most vibrant good boy we’ve seen in a while. We are in love with Dr. Harvey’s products and the company. We even get him the Dr. Harvey’s dehydrated sweet potato treats as a healthy rawhide alternative and he likes it.ABOUT THE FOOD: The dehydrated mix looks quite healthy. We’ve noticed some batches tend to have more larger pieces, while others tend to have more fine “dust.” We feed our now 19-pound boy 1.5 scoops of the mix per meal plus the protein, supplements, and fish oil. It takes a while to rehydrate, so I make two meals worth of mix at night, so that it’s ready for him the next day. Once a week, I also make 1.5 ounce meatballs and boil the eggs that he’ll eat throughout the week. It really helps to speed up daily meal prep. The only downside of Dr. Harvey’s is that it is so messy. Since it’s a wet base, he gets food all over his face, his floppy ears, the floor, etc. You can see the stain in one of his photos. 😀 And, of course, the base mix and supplements get expensive. Thankfully, we can afford it; again, it’s worth every penny.Wishing you and your loved one a healthier and happier life.

So healthy for my baby!
My pup is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The breed is genetically susceptible to heart disease so I always want to be pro active when it comes to feeding her. This food has all the right ingredients and is so healthy for her. Plus, she loves it! She is 4 and has been having this food since 12 weeks old. So far, no murmur. I don’t know if it’s because I feed her Dr Harvey’s, but it certainly can’t hurt!

This freeze dried veggie saves me so much time.
This is a quality freeze dried veggie that you can soak in hot water for 10 minutes and add to the top of dog food to make the dog food more enjoyable and healthy for the dog. Or if you’re preparing a homemade dog food, rather than chopping up all the veggies you would have to keep fresh on hand, you can just add the warm water to this veggie mix and add it to what you’re preparing before or after it’s ready to eat. My dogs seem to enjoy their food with the addition of the veggies, and I’m certain it adds a good measure of nutrition. Dr. Harvey’s have other versions of the hydrated food, but it seems we use this Raw Vibrance Grain Free one the most. The dogs also like the flavor, and I like the smell of the one that has oats in it.

Our dogs will never be without it
As many of us have come to realize kibble is cheep garbage and isnt fit for a rodent. Finding the courage to rise up and take control of exactly what you are feeding your precious dog is the right move. Wakeup to the lies these corporate dog food companies are telling us. Their interest is money not our pets. Vets do what their trained and say what their told and dog food companies sponser our vet schools. All dogs should eat real quality food. It’s simple and easy. We have a one-year-old French Bulldog who’s been eating Dr Harvey’s and does wonderful. He loves his dog food. I control what goes into his dog food. We have an 8 year old English Mastiff female who was not doing well after eating 8 years of process dry kibble. Since switching her to Dr Harvey’s 6 months ago she is doing fantastic, has lost all her access weight, her fur is fantastic, she’s vibrant and doing very well. Just try it and you will believe and your dogs will thank you.

This is the best dog food going. You just add your own protein. It isa dry food full if vegetables and natural ingredients. My dog is very allergic and he thrives on Dr Harvey’s. well worth the expense considering what vet bills are

My little girl really enjoyed this food. I would make a big batch and keep it in the refrigerator. I would then lightly cook her meat and then add a big scoop of the premix. Her stools were perfectly formed. Gobbled it up fast.There is quite a bit of sediment at the bottom of the bag, as other reviewers have mentioned. I didn’t find it to be a dealbreaker as it’s to be expected. Just mix the bag up a bit and as you scoop you’ll get a variety.My 15-year-old Maltipoo has chronic kidney disease, stage two for close to two years now. She’s on a high-quality diet along with some kidney supplements. Dr. Harvey’s premix has been a great option for us in adding variety to her diet.Her values have remained consistent over this time. She’s never been a picky eater, so I can’t say how well a picky eater would do.It is definitely on the higher price point. In Canada, we have limited options. Amazon is the only place I could find Delivery for. Previously raw fed, which was more economical than Dr. Harvey’s. Something to keep in mind long term.
