What Vizslas need most from their food
The Vizsla’s athletic, high-energy hunting nature shapes their nutritional needs:
Energy & Stamina
A high-endurance hunting breed. Bioavailable, high-quality protein fuels sustained activity better than starch-heavy kibble.
Lean Muscle
Athletic, muscular dogs need quality protein to build and maintain a lean hunting frame.
Joint Health
A foundation of real omega-3s, not processed oils, supports long-term joint and mobility health.
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, highly digestible 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.

The standard is King.
Loyal Saints was built because of one dog. King’s digestive sensitivities pushed Kristina Voltin to question the ingredients, processing and nutrition behind every bowl. She formulated a whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet from human-grade quality ingredients — food she felt confident feeding King every day. 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.

Athletic hunting dogs need real fuel, not filler. Removing starches and synthetic additives means the high-quality protein does its job — sustained energy and lean muscle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best food for a high-energy Vizsla?
High-quality, highly digestible 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 about 3¼–4¼ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; 3⅔–4¾ cups of Chicken), 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 do well on highly digestible nutrition — and freeze-dried raw measured 94% protein digestibility in a 2024 controlled study. 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 fish oil) support healthy joints — relevant for a high-impact athletic breed. Turkey + Salmon offers the highest omega-3 profile for added joint support and recovery.
