About Kuma:

Kuma is a 6 year old sashige Shiba Inu. He was adopted from a shelter in South Korea in May 2021 with the help from both Adopt Korean Rescue and Koastal Dog Rescue. Kuma is now living his best life in Coquitlam, BC, Canada.

We often get questions about Kuma's raw food. I wrote 2 blog posts (linked above) on how I calculate, source and prep his food.

To summarize: Kuma eats a homemade BARF diet with ratio 70/10/5/5/10. His diet is synthetic-free and consists of only whole food ingredients.
