Royal Frenchel Nutrition Plan
A Lifetime of Health Begins with Every Bowl
When you bring home your Royal Frenchel, you’re not just adopting a dog—you’re becoming part of a lineage of care, intention, and devotion. One of the most important commitments you’ll make is ensuring your pup receives the high-quality nutrition they need to live a long, healthy, and joy-filled life.
At Royal Frenchel, we take nutrition as seriously as love—and that’s saying something.

Why Nutrition Matters
Once you have your pup, the most important job you have—other than loving your baby—is to make sure they receive the best nutrition possible. We’re not just saying that. As a kennel that’s raised generations of dogs, we’ve seen it firsthand: food directly impacts how your dog feels, grows, and lives.
Over the years, we’ve watched even subtle changes in food cause clear shifts in our dogs’ coats, energy levels, digestion, and behavior. We inspect their stools daily, check for signs of inflammation or irritation, and remain vigilant because they can’t tell us what’s wrong. But their bodies do.
Our Journey into Canine Nutrition
Over the last 15+ years of raising Royal Frenchels, we noticed a troubling pattern: well-known food brands were reformulating their recipes—sometimes as often as six times—without warning. Slowly, some of our dogs developed sensitivities or health issues we couldn’t explain at first. That’s when Anahata, our founder, took a deep dive.
She spent two years investigating the dog food industry and what she discovered was eye-opening. Many dog foods—even premium brands—use low-grade proteins from rendering plants. This includes meat from carcasses unfit for human consumption, full of contaminants and preservatives. These ingredients lead to poor gut health, allergies, chronic inflammation, and long-term illness.
This wasn’t acceptable for our dogs—or yours.
Discovering PawTree
Determined to find something better, Anahata found PawTree. But she didn’t stop at research—she flew to Texas to meet the company’s founder and tour their process firsthand. What she found was not just a brand, but a mission. PawTree uses single-source, high-quality proteins, formulates recipes with the help of one of the nation’s top pet nutritionists, and is transparent about every ingredient they use.
We saw an immediate difference in our dogs: clearer eyes, healthier coats, more consistent stools, and an overall glow that only comes from deep internal wellness. Today, our entire kennel thrives on PawTree. It’s the only food we trust, and it’s the food we ask every Royal family to continue with.

Personalized Nutrition Support
Once you reserve your Royal Frenchel puppy, you’ll meet with Arturo—our in-house biochemist—who will walk you through your pup’s nutrition plan. He’ll explain how each piece supports your dog’s health, and how you can keep them thriving through every life stage.
We’ve done the hard work, so you can simply love your dog and know they’re getting everything they need.

Our Royal Puppy Nutrition Plan
Every Royal puppy begins life with:
PawTree Real Salmon, Peas & Sweet Potato Kibble
Freeze-Dried Raw Food (Real Beef Recipe) for Super Micros & Micros
This kibble is nutritionally dense and slow-cooked at low temperatures to preserve nutrients. With no fillers, and only single-source protein, dogs absorb more nutrition—and produce less waste.
For our smallest dogs, we top their kibble with freeze-dried raw food to offer added nutrients and live enzymes. Freeze-drying retains more nutrition than air drying, which can compromise ingredients through heat exposure.
The Core 4: Building Blocks of Long-Term Health
We supplement every dog’s food with four daily essentials, which we call the Core 4:
1. Joint Support Plus
Joint fluid never replenishes once it’s lost. Supplementing with the right micronutrients from puppyhood preserves joint resilience and reduces inflammation later in life. Most vets recommend joint support only after pain begins—we believe in preventing the pain before it starts.
2. Alaskan Salmon & Pollock Oil
Sourced from wild-caught fish and extracted within 10 hours of landing, this oil is packed with omega fatty acids essential to every cell membrane in your dog’s body. You’ll see the difference in their coat, energy, and even their eyes.
3. Gastro Pro Plus
A powerful combination of probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes, Gastro Pro is designed to reach the gut intact. It helps create the strong foundation for your dog’s immune system, digestion, and absorption of nutrients. We use it preventively—and to heal gut issues when they arise.
4. CBD Mega
This full-spectrum cannabinoid formula nourishes the body’s auto-regulatory systems. It supports hormonal balance, reduces inflammation, and helps maintain internal harmony. Think of it as the roof of your dog’s health—holding everything together.
Extras That Make a Difference
We also use:
- Superfood Seasonings – Tasty, freeze-dried veggie and meat blends that add flavor variety while boosting nutrition.
- Bone Broths – Chicken and beef options rich in collagen and gut-healing nutrients.
- Brain Drops – A cognitive supplement for senior dogs. We’ve seen aging Royals come back to life—running, barking at lunchtime, and acting like their younger selves.
- Low-Fat Whitefish Kibble – For elderly dogs needing a lighter, gentle-on-the-gut diet.
Dental Care That Works From the Inside Out
Brushing can be difficult, especially with small breeds. That’s why we love Plaque Control, a natural supplement made with sea kelp and parsley. It alters the chemistry of your dog’s saliva to prevent plaque buildup and even dissolves existing tartar over time.
We’ve seen dogs with old, hardened tartar show dramatic improvement within 4–6 months of daily use.

Treats & Training Snacks
PawTree’s treats are made from clean, wholesome ingredients—never fillers or byproducts. Our dogs love them, and we trust them.
A Note on Puppy Food & Vet Recommendations
We don’t use traditional puppy food—because the kibble we feed is already complete and balanced for all life stages. It’s gentle enough for young pups and strong enough for adults.
Sometimes, a vet may suggest switching foods after an upset stomach or illness. While well-meaning, many vet-recommended foods are backed by large corporate interests with questionable ingredient quality. Before switching, please reach out to us. We’ll guide you on how to support your Royal’s recovery without compromising their nutrition.
A Promise of Care That Continues
This page is more than a feeding guide—it’s a window into how deeply we care for our dogs. From birth to the moment they join your family, we feed every Royal Frenchel with the same quality we want for ourselves. And we hope you’ll carry that forward, knowing you’re giving your dog the absolute best.
