The Natural Solution for Dogs Suffering from Food
Allergies or Intolerances
Finally, a Simple Solution to a Difficult Problem
Less is More! For some dogs that means eating a simplified diet that uses a unique protein source while removing additional proteins, carbohydrates, fillers and additives.
Utilizing our unique 1 + 1 system, we combine one novel animal protein source plus one easily digestible carbohydrate source with a short, yet complete list of key ingredients – and nothing extra. This special, natural recipe limits the number of ingredients your dog is exposed to each day while nourishing simply and completely.
Do You Need a Simple Solution?
Some dogs have allergies, sensitivity and intolerance to commonly used proteins and food additives can result in gastrointestinal upsets and chronic or recurrent ear infections, hair loss, excessive scratching, hot spots and skin infections. Simple Food Solutions is designed to aid in the nutritional management of these issues, naturally by removing additional proteins, carbohydrates, fillers and additives to create a hypoallergenic diet.
These special limited ingredient recipes offer the shortest ingredient listing of any food available and have been naturally formulated to isolate the number of allergens your dog is exposed to each day. Utilizing our unique 1 + 1 system, we combine one novel animal protein source (duck, lamb or salmon) plus one easily digestible carbohydrate source (ground rice) with a short, yet complete list of key ingredients – and nothing extra. This special, natural recipe limits the number of ingredients your dog is exposed to each day while nourishing simply and completely.
Talk you your vet about this natural, alternative to therapeutic prescription diets. The choice for natural relief is simple.
The 5 Key Ingredients
Simple Food Solutions Formulas have only 5 main ingredients carefully chosen for their quality, nutritional value and their ability to nourish with simplicity:
Duck, Lamb or Salmon are chosen as “novel,” high quality alternative to common proteins like beef and chicken due to its unique amino acid profile.
Canola Oil This high quality fat source is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids to help your dog maintain healthy skin and coat from the inside out.
Tomato Pomace An ingredient rich in the antioxidant lycopene and an excellent dietary fiber source to help maintain digestive health and produce healthy stools.
Vitamins & Minerals A complete blend of everything your dog needs for daily wellbeing including antioxidants, vitamins and minerals
A Comprehensive “No” List
Simple Food Solutions contains NO Meat by-products, Dairy, Corn, Soy, Wheat, Eggs, Artificial Preservatives, Colors or Flavors. This “NO” list contains common allergens or irritants often found in other pet food.
Available Without A Prescription
Simple Food Solutions is a natural alternative to the therapeutic diets most commonly prescribed to dogs with food allergies & food sensitivities. (Dogs with food allergies & food sensitivities should always be under the care of their veterinarian).

How to Certify Your Manor Lake Australian Labradoodle as a Therapy Dog
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009How to Get Your Australian Labradoodle Certified As A Therapy Dog
Therapy dogs provide an important and rewarding job for both the dog and the owner. If you are interested in your pet becoming a certified therapy dog you first need to make sure your dog is best suited for this type of work. Therapy dogs should be well trained and friendly. The dog should not be frightened of strangers or new situations and should enjoy going out and visiting new and unfamiliar places.
For certification, your dog will need to be in good health and up to date in all vaccinations. You should receive a health certificate from your veterinarian. Of course, make sure that your dog is well trained. Good therapy dogs need to be able to sit, lie down and stay on command and to walk on a leash without pulling.
If your dog’s health and temperament fit those of a therapy dog the next step is to get him certified. Most therapy groups require that your dog pass the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. To find a testing site and evaluator visit http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/cgc_bystate.cfm
The CGC test consists of the following 10 items that your dog must pass:
- Accepting a friendly stranger
- Sitting politely for petting
- Appearance and grooming
- Walking on a loose lead
- Walking through a crowd
- Sit and stay commands
- Coming when called
- Reaction to another dog
- Reaction to distraction
- Supervised separation from owner
Depending on the therapy organization that you are seeking certification from, there may be additional requirements beyond the CGC test. Check with the individual organization for their specific requirements.

Update on Manor Lake Bloom in Holland
Thursday, August 13th, 2009
Hi Kim and Molly,
Our Elisabeth Bloom is already 8 months old, 25 pounds and 17,5 inch. She is a very happy and cheerful dog. She wags her tail from early morning until she goes to sleep. She loves to play and adores her ‘sister’ very much. Bloom really loves life.
She’s taking her obidience lessons and already has two diplomas. And as you may expect from a Doodle, she’s best in class!
We saw the pictures of two brothers, Wally and Monroe on the blog. We hope to see more of them in the future to see them growing up.
Enjoy the pictures.
Kind regards from Holland,
Babette en Jörgen
