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 3)certified pet food specialist. Over the past 20 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 their own next step of wellness.

Contact UsI went in today just for dog food and I saw their real of dog coats. I didn't bring my boy with me so I went an addled one of the associates for help with sizing. She told me she had an Aussie too and she knows the struggle. She also told me that if it didn't fit that I could return it if I kept the tags on. We found one that looked like it would be good for barrel chested munchkin- heavily adjustable sides and long enough to reach his tail. It's also water repellent! I brought it home and fit like I dream! Thank you so much for your help!
I arrived at the store worried over my Arabian gelding who was reluctant to walk. The staff at Bridger realized just how unlikely this sounded for an Arabian type horse and suggested that I immediately put the horse in a dry lot in case it was starting to founder. They were absolutely right! Bridger A.N. saved me and my horse weeks of heart-ache, thank you soooo much!

Today, garlic for humans (and garlic for dogs) is grown all over the world. And it’s making a strong comeback as a potent, effective, natural remedy.

We stopped at Bridger Animal Nutrition to see if there was anything we could do for our 12 year old basset hound Daisy. Daisy had been diagnosed with cancer and was slowly losing weight and eating less and less. I was desperate to find anything to get her eating again to maybe get some more time with Daisy. The very kind and informative gal gave us several food options that she thought would work. We went home and gave it a try. Daisy did start eating a little bit again and we got another month with her. For that I will always be grateful and it started with a stop at Bridger Animal Nutrition. Thank You.
