Trail Dog Food: NutriSource Element Series & Wild Rice Treats
Feeding the Trail Dog Lifestyle
For many of us, our dogs aren’t just pets—they’re trail mates, security systems, travel buddies, and best friends. Whether you’re overlanding through the Northwoods, posting up at a state park, or chasing trout in backcountry streams, your pup deserves food that performs as hard as they do.
That’s why we rely on NutriSource Element Series dog food and our very own Wild Rice Dog Treats—crafted and tested right here at All Trails Lead North.
My two dogs love the Element Series—they’re always excited at mealtime, have healthy skin, shiny coats, and are full of energy. When you’re traveling with dogs up north, especially in changing weather and rough terrain, this level of nutrition is a must.
I actually discovered NutriSource after stopping by their booth at the Deer & Turkey Expo. I met their staff and had a great conversation about my dogs. They took the time to ask questions, offer real advice, and recommended quality products tailored to my dogs’ needs. That personal touch meant a lot—and it convinced me to switch from Blue Buffalo to NutriSource. Since then, my dogs have been more playful, always excited to go outside, and they seem to enjoy camping even more.
They also helped me find places to buy NutriSource in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, which made the transition easy while we travel for events and overlanding trips.

All Trails Lead North Wild Rice Dog Treats – Turkey & Wild Rice
Inspired by the food we make for ourselves, our Wild Rice Dog Treats combine real cooked wild rice and turkey into a hearty, snackable form. These soft-baked treats are made with minimal ingredients, just the way dogs like it.
- Made in Minnesota with cultivated wild rice
- Turkey + Wild Rice – a protein-rich, gluten-free combo
- Great for: training, trail rewards, or daily snack time
Sometimes we even sprinkle a little cooked wild rice over our dog’s meal to enhance texture and nutrition. Rice is an excellent source of manganese and fiber—ideal for digestion and sustained energy during active days.
How We Feed on the Road
Our Tacoma is set up for adventure, and so is our dog’s nutrition system. We keep:
- Element Series as the daily base food
- Wild Rice treats in an airtight container for fast rewards
Whether we’re camped out near a lake or on the move selling wild rice across Minnesota, our dog eats just as well as we do—sometimes better.
Why It Matters
Feeding clean, quality food isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity. From joint support and skin health to digestive strength and energy levels, every bite and treat makes a difference. If you’re going to spend the weekend in the woods or haul gear through the Boundary Waters, your dog’s nutrition better be up for the job.
