Cooking for Fido

    What is wrong with feeding dogs people food? Nothing!  If you know how to eat a healthy, well- balanced diet (and avoid using foods that are toxic to pets) you can apply that same principle to feeding your dog. 

    Remain open to changing your thinking about the true nutritional value of most commercial dog foods.  The problem with blindly believing what big brands tell us about dog nutrition lies in the fact that a dog's nutritional needs cannot be adequately met by a diet that is scientifically (and often artificially) formulated, over processed, filled with chemical preservatives, and packaged into bags and cans. 

No freshness, no variety and little taste.

    Feeding your pooch a handmade meal even just 2 nights a week can have long lasting health benefits for them.  Many common ailments such as food allergies, joint stiffness, flaky skin and flatulence can benefit from or be prevented by using human grade foods for our pets.  I find it amazing how quickly owners will pump medicines and man made chemicals into their pets without a second thought.  Of course, there is a time and place for seeking and utilizing medicinal support for their health and I see huge benefits from combining aspects of traditional allopathic medicine with a wholistic health approach to wellness. I urge pet owners to not blindly follow any one chain or source of advice. Use common sense. Ask questions. Seek second opinions.  We all want our pets to live long, healthy lives and feeding them a natural diet is a great means to that end.
