How We Choose the Dog Foods We Carry
Bridger Animal Nutrition carefully selects foods from the thousands of premium dog foods available in the marketplace.
Over the last 26 years, we’ve developed an approach that evaluates the sourcing, nutrition, and manufacturing methods of food.
When choosing the dog foods we carry, we look at 1) the quality and digestibility of the ingredients, 2) the source of the nutrients and 3) the reason behind the formula’s foundation. We work with reputable companies who care about the quality of the food they make and are honest in all their communications.
We believe strongly in feeding fresh, whole foods. The Bozeman store boasts 18 reach-in glass door commercial freezers and a walk-in in our warehouse filled to the brim with species appropriate components and blend for cats & dogs. Incorporating raw foods into a pets daily diet adds all sorts of healthy benefits like good bacteria, enzymes, phytochemicals, food-based soluble fibers and antioxidants. Raw food promotes cleaner teeth, better digestion, decreases inflammation, and supports the entire renal system.
We carry commercial raw foods, pre-mixes for your own raw, component ingredients like organ meats, ground organ blends, green tripe, meaty bones, bone grinds, veggie and fruit blends, recreational chew bones, “body parts” like necks and feet, fermented fish stock, kefir, raw milks, broths, toppers, freeze dried, dehydrated, canned, & kibbled dog foods.

Consulting
Let food by they medicine. Personalized animal health and diet consultations are available with our experienced consultant, Libby Burr. Libby received her BS in Equine Nutrition from CSU. Her passion for learning about species defined diets grew and she became certified as a 1)companion animal dietician, 2)a clinical veterinary nutritionist and 2)certified pet food specialist. Over the past 23 years of helping animals heal through dietary changes she has written articles for several journals on both equine & companion animal health. She strongly believes in meeting clients where they are at and respecting everyone's comfort levels . After observing how a pet-parent's appreciation for proper nutrition ignited a need for diet change in themselves, Libby became a certified Integrated Nutrition Health & Diet Coach for people in order to help people with the next step of wellness.

Contact UsOur lab had terribly oily smelly ears and was on antibiotics on & off for about 3 years. Libby helped us get her diet straightened out, which took months, but now her ears are consistently calm. Very nice.
The staff at Bridger Animal Nutrition opened our eyes to so many more living foods we could feed to our dog! So exciting to know our options are so broad!

June 3, 2018 // Canine
Giardia can cause infection in dogs, and can be contagious to other species as well, including humans. In healthy dogs, with un-compromised immune systems, this infection often doesn't cause symptoms or complications. If a dog is weakened by other factors, giardia may multiply and cause diarrhea which appears greasy, is oddly colored and has a very offensive odor. The digestive system will malfunction due to the infection, preventing proper absorption of important nutrients. This may cause weight loss, despite a normal appetite or eating habits, so it’s imperative to address your dog’s diet and immune system.

The MicroBiome & Health
June 2, 2018 // Canine
Inside your dog’s digestive tract (and yours), is something called a microbiome. The microbiome is a colony of bacteria that live throughout your dog’s body. But the largest – and most important – colony lives in your dog’s intestines and gut.
The micro-biome might not seem like a big deal, but it’s a vital part of your dog’s body. In fact, those bacteria outnumber your dog’s own cells by 10 to 1. And there are 100 trillion of these organisms in the gut alone.
My kitty was diagnosed with chronic UTI. The staff at Bridger educated me about feeing enough moisture to my cat, changing the litter box around after the infection got managed, and what to feed to prevent the UTI, and he hasn’t had one now in 7 months and counting. He’s doing so much better, BIG thank you.
