We are not telling anyone what or how to feed. Everything on this page is what we do with our own dogs and why, shared as suggestions only.
- Every dog is an individual, with different calorie, mineral and vitamin needs.
- Feeding without enough research can seriously affect a dog’s health.
- For diet decisions, we recommend a veterinary nutritionist rather than a regular veterinarian. Ideally, choose a holistic veterinarian who also holds a degree in nutrition.
Why home-made food?
The reason we started feeding a home-made diet is Kardia. On her 13-month birthday, after eating commercial kibble, she became so ill that she lost 10 pounds and needed IV drips and countless medications to save her life. Almost 14 days later, her health finally bounced back.
Ever since, we decided to place our dogs’ nutrition and well-being in our own hands, other than in life or death situations. In our experience, home-made food provides wholesome nutrition and, most important, bioavailability. That is a fancy word for how easily the body absorbs nutrients. The less processed the food, the easier it is to absorb.
We are always learning, and we encourage you to read and research too. Real understanding comes from good books and good professionals, so please treat this page as a starting point.
