Raising a healthy, thriving puppy starts with one simple but powerful truth:
Food is medicine.

The way you feed your pup in these early months lays the foundation for their health, behavior, and longevity. And while the world of dog nutrition can feel overwhelming, Victoria simplifies it with one holistic principle:

The 90/10 Rule: 90% fresh food, 10% supplements.

This is your blueprint for building wellness—from the bowl up.

🐾 What Is the 90/10 Rule?

The 90/10 Rule is a guiding principle from holistic veterinary wisdom (shoutout to Dr. Judy Morgan & Dr. Karen Becker) that focuses on feeding fresh, whole, species-appropriate foods—with a small percentage of supplements to ensure balance.

Here’s how it breaks down:

• 90% of your puppy’s diet = fresh, nutrient-dense food
  
• 10% = carefully chosen supplements to support growth and health

Simple. Clean. Powerful.

🥦 What Goes Into the 90%?

Puppies need real food to build strong bodies and sharp minds. That includes:

✅ High-Quality Proteins

• Chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, rabbit, fish
  
• Organs like liver and heart for nutrient density

✅ Healthy Fats

• Omega-3s from fish oil or sardines
  
• Coconut oil for brain and coat health

✅ Fresh Vegetables

• Carrots, spinach, kale, pumpkin, broccoli
  
• Lightly steamed or pureed for easy digestion

✅ Low-Starch Carbs (in moderation)

• Sweet potato, quinoa, or pumpkin if needed
  
• Avoid corn, wheat, soy, and high-glycemic fillers

Whether you’re feeding raw or gently cooked meals, the focus should be on balance, freshness, and minimal processing.

💊 What’s in the 10%?

Even the best fresh diets can use a little boost. This is where supplements come in.

Victoria recommends:

• Omega-3 fatty acids (for brain and skin health)
  
• Probiotics (to support gut health and digestion)
  
• Digestive enzymes (to help nutrient absorption)
  
• Essential vitamins/minerals based on your dog’s specific needs

Always consult a holistic vet or canine nutritionist to tailor this part to your puppy.

🍼 Why This Matters Early On

Feeding this way from the start can help:

• Reduce allergies and digestive issues
  
• Build a stronger immune system
  
• Support joint and bone development
  
• Encourage better behavior and focus
  
• Prevent chronic health problems later in life

Your puppy’s body is developing fast—and real food gives them the fuel they need to thrive.

👶 Not Ready to Go All-In Yet?

No problem. You can start with small changes that still make a big impact.

Try adding:

• A spoonful of cooked veggies to each meal
  
• A raw egg or sardine a few times a week
  
• Bone broth or kefir for hydration and gut health
  
• A supplement like a probiotic or fish oil

Even adding 10–20% fresh food to a kibble diet can make a noticeable difference.
