Nutrition
At Wild River Kennels, we place a strong emphasis on proper nutrition, supplementation, and recovery—because we treat our dogs like the athletes they are. A well-conditioned Gundog doesn’t just come from training alone; it’s built through consistent fueling, thoughtful supplementation, and the ability to recover properly between work. We prioritize high-quality diets and targeted support to ensure our dogs feel their best day in and day out. When a dog feels right physically, they perform with more drive, clarity, and confidence. This is something we are deeply committed to, and it plays a critical role in the level of performance and longevity we expect from every dog in our program.
We fuel our dogs with Purina Pro Plan because it delivers the consistency, performance, and reliability required for working retrievers. With a range of formulas designed for varying activity levels, life stages, and sensitivities, it allows us to tailor each dog’s nutrition to support both daily training and long-term health. Whether at home or on the road, we trust that our dogs are getting the balanced nutrition they need to maintain condition, energy, and focus.
To complement their diet, we incorporate targeted supplementation from AlphaDog Nutrition. These products help support joint health, recovery, hydration, and overall performance—especially important for dogs in consistent training or demanding field work. Our approach to supplementation is intentional and performance-driven, ensuring each dog is supported not just to work hard, but to recover properly and stay at a high level over time.
