Oliver (13.5 year old deaf Dalmatian/poodle mix)
Oliver has been doing great on the food. Oliver is a 13.5 year old deaf Dalmatian/poodle mix. Over the years, he started to develop small fatty deposits (bumps) on his stomach. We had been keeping an eye on them and had our vet check on them during his yearly exams. We switched from traditional dry dog food to Chi Dog, Water diet in October. Since that time, most of Oliver’s fatty deposits have disappeared! He has a few remaining that were larger in size but I expect that over time, those will continue to decrease in size as well. We are so happy we selected Chi Dog!

We love it!
Chi dog is amazing! As much as we would love to make our dog’s food ourselves, life can get really busy and there isn’t always time for it. Chi dog is perfect- not only is it really convenient but it is made by actual veterinarians who know exactly what our pups need. Our boxer especially loves the Fire and Earth diets, but there is a perfect match for every dog’s personality and/or health needs! Thank you for making our boy so happy and healthy!

Her leg is totally back to normal! A true miracle. And you have the best customer service ever. We can’t thank you enough for all the help and personal attention too 💖🙏

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You have questions? We've got answers.
How is Chi Dog made?
All Chi Dog diets are cooked in a human grade USDA inspected commercial kitchen with ingredients that are intended for human consumption. Chi Dog meals are laboratory tested to ensure that they are free of any potentially harmful bacterial contaminants.
How does a fresh, lightly cooked food (like Chi Dog) compare to a raw diet?
Dog’s wild cousin’s raw meat diet may be better than kibble if it is not processed. Eastern Medicine finds benefit in cooking. Lightly cooked fresh whole food ingredients are better to nourish. It is especially true for our sick, old, and young pets; any animal who is a little delicate. Raw meat may be fine if you are a young adult and have a lot Of “Qi” (pronounced Chi) to digest your food. If you want to feed more gently, lightly cooked whole foods are ideal. Just as we would give a baby apple sauce and an old person soup, cooking the food brings some energy into the food to help them digest. Eastern Medicine recognizes raw foods as appropriate for very healthy and strong patients but unsuitable for weaker patients. It is completely appropriate to supplement a Chi Dog diet with raw vegetables in our young to middle-aged, disease-free companions.
My dog is allergic to some ingredients in the food designed for their Element, should I try it?
No one knows your dog better than you. If you feel an ingredient is a problem for your dog, you can try another Element Diet based on ingredients you know are right for your dog. You are also welcome to reach out to Dr. Bohrer via our Contact Us form with your concerns, and we will find the best food for your dog. Regarding allergies in general, Eastern Medicine would advise that an ingredient in a clean, unprocessed and whole food form may not bother your dog in the same way that it did in the processed, pro-inflammatory dog kibble (dry dog food) or canned food.
What do you mean by “Whole Foods”?
Whole foods are natural foods. When you read an ingredient on a package, you should be able to see it in the food. Chi Dog uses human-grade ingredients that we would eat, not feed-grade ingredients as in kibble and canned dog foods. When our labels say beets, carrots, and peas, you can see, feel, and smell these ingredients in the food.
