Coat & Skin
The short, sleek coat reflects diet quality. Omega-3s support skin and coat health.
Why freeze-dried raw is right for VizslasVizslas
Vizslas are athletic, high-endurance hunting dogs — lean, muscular, and tireless. That level of activity demands real fuel. Freeze-dried raw delivers high-quality, bioavailable protein in its most usable form, supporting sustained energy, athletic stamina, and the lean muscle that defines the breed.
The high digestibility means more nutrition is absorbed and used as fuel, and for a high-impact athletic breed, joint health is supported by the diet's omega-3 content. The short, sleek Vizsla coat also reflects nutritional quality. Loyal Saints provides clean, whole-food nutrition with no fillers or synthetic premix.

Loyal Saints was built because of one dog's transformation. King — Kristina Voltin's dog — developed chronic digestive issues and food allergies eating processed food. She formulated a human-grade, whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet and King's health transformed. Every formula is held to that standard: would I feed this to King?
For Vizslas owners navigating the same questions Kristina faced — about ingredients, about what's really in the bag, about whether the food is actually good — Loyal Saints is the answer she built for them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best food for a high-energy Vizsla?
High-quality, bioavailable protein is the priority for an athletic hunting breed. Beef is the top pick — rich, high-protein, with organ meats that fuel endurance and lean muscle. Freeze-dried raw delivers protein in its most usable form, supporting activity better than starch-heavy kibble.
How much should I feed my Vizsla?
Vizslas typically weigh 45–65 lbs and, given their high activity, need roughly 1½–2¼ cups of rehydrated Loyal Saints daily, split into two meals. Hard-working or hunting Vizslas may need more — monitor body condition to maintain a lean, athletic frame.
Does freeze-dried raw support athletic performance?
Active dogs benefit most from highly bioavailable nutrition — more is absorbed and used as fuel. The high-quality protein supports athletic muscle and recovery, and the absence of starch fillers avoids empty calories and blood-sugar spikes. Many owners report better-sustained energy.
Is freeze-dried raw good for joint health in active dogs?
The omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA from salmon oil) provide anti-inflammatory joint support — relevant for a high-impact athletic breed. Turkey + Salmon offers the highest omega-3 profile for added joint support and recovery.
