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 Wire Fox Terriers 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 dog food for a Wire Fox Terrier?
High-quality, highly digestible protein for a high-energy breed. Beef is the top pick. For terriers with sensitivities, single-protein Chicken is the gentlest option.
How much should I feed my Wire Fox Terriers?
Wire Fox Terriers typically weigh 15–18 lbs, needing about 1½–1⅔ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; 1½–1¾ cups of Chicken), split into two meals. Monitor body condition and adjust for age and activity.
Is freeze-dried raw good for a Wire Fox Terrier with a sensitive stomach?
Yes. Start with single-protein Chicken — our gentlest, most digestible formula — using a 7–10 day transition. It contains no fillers or synthetic additives that commonly trigger upset.
How do I keep my Wire Fox Terrier’s coat healthy?
The wiry coat depends on dietary protein and omega-3s. A whole-food diet with adequate protein supports coat health; regular grooming (hand-stripping) remains important for the wire coat.
