Happy, Healthy, Balanced
There are many ways to feed a species appropriate (raw or homemade) diet to pets. It's the very first step in maintaining a healthy lifestyle but it doesn't have to be messy, difficult or expensive.
Supplements and Modalities
At IAS, I have spent years researching the best and most cost effective supplements that add to the health of your pet. We have a large apothecary with many hard to find items that can help maintain your pets health. IAS also has therapeutic items for rent such as cold laser and ozone therapy. Pets love our self-serve microbubble bath!

Fiber is an important part of a pets diet. Fiber can come in several forms from fruits and vegetables, to fur and toppers. IAS carries a wide range of freeze dried products, hair-on treats and toppers and frozen options.
Frequntly ask questions:
The answer is no. A "study" published in 2018 suggested that grain free or legume diets were to blame in this and conventional veterinarians ran with the idea. The FDA released statements and tried to educate doctors on the lack of evidence but to this date, some doctors will not turn loose of the misinformation. Here is a link to the FDA's statement:

Absolutely not. Unless you are speaking to a vet that has a degree in nutrition, chances are you are being misinformed. In veterinary school, students are not required to take a nutrition course and if they are taught anything about diet, it is to feed processed food and this course is taught by the pet food industry. Pets do best on a species appropriate, fresh food diet.
Cost vary by the size of the dog, activity level, metabolism and protein source. At IAS, we keep cost low by buying in bulk and passing the savings on to you. The cost to feed a 50# dog on average can be lower than $3.50 per day. This is higher than some of your big box store foods, but savings will show in the health of the pet.
Dogs and cats will not acquire a "taste for blood" by eating raw. This is a myth. Raw meat is the most natural and healthy thing you can feed your pet.
Absolutely yes! At IAS, we have both DIY ready proteins for base mixing, dehydrated and frozen veggies and whole or ground organs. You can be in complete control of your dogs meals or you can use one of our complete and balanced formulas such as BRB Complete or Solutions Pet. The choice is yours! We can help you decide based on your pets needs and the time you have to prepare the meal.
