This video contains a short look at Isis “the Ragdoll” , Cassie the tuxedo kitty and Maggie our solid black baby!  They are the little darlings in our life.

Enjoy!

The protein sources used come from select sources like high quality chicken meal.  Chicken is derived from human-grade processing plants with any moisture and water removed for a more concentrated protein.  Egg is also used as a protein source.  Fish meal is also a quality protein source that is high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, which are beneficial to your dog’s coat and cardiovascular health.

Holistic food has many ingredients that are valuable to your dog’s digestive tract.  The protein sources are easy to digest and Probiotics and beet pulp both promote a healthy digestive tract.  Lactobaciullus Acidophilus is also present and lines your dog’s intestines with a delicate balance of friendly bacteria.  Your dog, just like a human, will burn carbohydrates for energy and includes brown rice, which is perhaps the easiest carbohydrate for a dog to digest.

The manufacturers of holistic dog food know that healthy pet food is critical to the well-being and happiness of your dog.  It’s not uncommon for poor dog food, loaded with additives or preservatives, to create health issues for your dog, sometimes even immediately.  You could be paying a ridiculous amount of money for a medication to treat your dog’s itching when the underlying problem could be a skin irritation associated with the unnatural ingredients of many commercial dog food brands.  It’s quite possible your dog may no longer need that expensive medication if their symptoms gradually disappear upon switching.

Compare the canned gunk and bland dried food that you pay entirely too much for to a natural dog food recipe that combines two ounces of shredded boneless pork loin chop (or a beef, chicken and lamb substitute) with four ounces of Tofu, two steamed carrots, two crushed garlic cloves, some broccoli spears, half a steamed green pepper, one cup of cooked spinach, eight ounces of cooked long grain brown rice, about two teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil, a quarter cup of molasses, half a teaspoon of dry mustard and one teaspoon of bone meal.  Put this concoction in the oven at approximately 325 degrees for 15 minutes and serve it to your dog.  One serving of this natural dog food recipe is equal to a large can of dog food but healthier, all natural and easier to digest.

Here’s a test.  Put a bowl of that kibble that you typically feed your dog right next to a plate of this recipe.   Which meal do you think your dog will go for?  There is a reason that your dog begs and cries at the smell of “people food”.  Because our food better replicates the diet that a dog would eat in the wild, more so than the food being manufactured in a factory somewhere.

So many of the vitamins and minerals that humans have learned are healthy for our bodies are also healthy for a dog.  In the natural dog food recipe above you likely noticed several peculiar ingredients.  Garlic is an anti-inflammatory that may help your dog with arthritis and joint ailments.  Garlic combined with fresh Ginger can even replace pricey medications that a veterinarian will often suggest for a dog suffering from an ongoing condition.  If you were wondering why the dry mustard was included in the natural dog food recipe above, although used partly for flavoring, dry mustard also improves bowel function and digestion.

So, next time you are scooping up that awful smelling dry doggie food or cracking open a can of dog food, consider how much more your dog would enjoy a natural dog food recipe prepared especially for them… by you!
