Learn The Simple Secrets Of Natural Homemade Pet Food

Across Canada, the United States, and around the World, this web site stops for nothing(except a walk in the park)!

We're 4 steps ahead of everyone else...

      ...so, if you are wanting to learn the simple secrets of making natural homemade pet food (raw meat diet), then you have come to the right place.

Pets Need Wholesome Food Also will clearly explain to you the why, the what and the how of making homemade pet food quick and easily.

I originally wrote Pets Need Wholesome Food Also in early 1996. At this time, my book was a short guide so people could learn my simple steps of organizing and making wholesome pet food in the most simplistic of ways.

What's The Cost?

This web site explains the whole meat and no potatoes of making natural homemade pet food... for free! That be right... I speaketh the word free.

Although this web site is currently free to read, if you wish to print this book, I kindly ask that you make a donation. After making a donation, you are provided with a link to a printer friendly web page for easy and quick printing of all information on this web site.

I prefer to operate this web site on the honour system. As a result, you can also register to receive my email newsletter called Animal Tales for free too!

Proceeds from all donations help support the operation of my web site. In addition, donations are then shared with some of my favourite wildlife shelters and charities. I especially like to support no-kill shelters along with organization that help endangered species.

I Love All Animals...

I love all animals, not just our four legged furry friends, but all animals (except snakes, but I don't hate them, I just don't want to hold the snake or see one... but that's another story)...

Since I love pets so much, I help pets by making my site available to read for free. My web site and my book are my donation to the pets of the world.

Newsflash: Recently I saw my first snake other than a garter snake in nature. I am happy to report that although the snake and I did not exchange pleasantries, we also seemed to enjoy each other's company. As you might expect, I did not try to hold the snake!

Why Is This Web Page Free To Read?

Well, the simple truth is that this information isn't meant to help humans... it's meant to help pets but pets don't have a Visa (except for that Chimpanzee in the Visa commercial).

If given the opportunity, I am quite sure a pet would buy this book just as you buy books on human health and nutrition. The only problem is as mentioned, pets can't buy anything!

So, in order to help pets, I make this web site freely available so all humans have free access to this valuable information... because in order to help pets, this information must be adopted and incorporated into the lifestyle of the pet by a human.

I make this information freely available so more humans, regardless of where they live in the world and regardless of their level of income, have the opportunity to help their pet... and helping pets is my preference... and making this web site available to read for free is just my way of indirectly helping all of my four legged furry friends.

Our Pets Are Starving For Nutrition:

In today's world pets eat on a regular basis and are thus not starving for food, but they are starving for nutrition! Read this sentence again if you have to.

If pets are eating on a regular basis, then why would they be starving for nutrition?

A body will be starving for nutrition when the food it is eating either provides insufficient nutrition, is a source of poor quality nutrition or the body cannot efficiently assimilate or utilize the nutrition from the food.

Signs that your pet is starving for nutrition include a pet that eats stools, eats garbage, is always begging for food, has an endless stomach, is always hungry and is generally always looking for something to eat. Why do pets eat stools, as an example? It is because stools provide an additional source of nutrition and as yucky as it seems to us, pets that eat stools, vomit, etc are instinctively looking for more nutrition. I am happy to report these problems begin to go away once the pet is eating wholesome foods on a regular basis.

Of course there are many other signs that your pet is starving for nutrition including numerous health problems. A thyroid problem can indicate, as a simple example, that your pet is starving for iodine as iodine is the mineral that helps to regulate the thyroid.

Nutrition is fuel for the body and unless the body has a nutritional fuel tank that is filled up at every meal, then the body will always be like a car running on empty.

It has been said that 90% of health problems begin as a result of poor nutrition or a lack of nutrition at some point in the life of the pet (or human) whether it be in adulthood, puppyhood, kittenhood or while still a foetus depending on its mother for nutrition. If we stop for a second, pause and then observe just how many pets are sick in today's world and how many veterinarian clinics there are in every town and city, then we might begin to question the quality of nutrition our pets are getting from commercial pet foods.

My book is obviously about feeding a wholesome raw meat homemade diet for dogs and cats and I make no bones (pun intended) about this! I am biased in my opinion but that's only because I've found an approach that makes sense to me.

Why does this approach make sense to me?

Feeding a wholesome raw meat diet makes sense to me because I prefer not to focus on the word "raw" but rather on the word "wholesome". Nobody can deny that our pets, just as we humans, need wholesome foods for good health. For some, they will think that commercial pet foods constitute a wholesome diet and that's fair enough. To each their own. But for myself (and hopefully for you too), if we "meditate" on what constitutes a wholesome diet for our pets then you will hopefully also begin to clearly see that a wholesome diet for pets is one that most closely imitates what Mother Nature herself would feed.

Pets today are not starving for food, but they are starving for nutrition because the food they eat is not always wholesome. If you can understand and grasp this thought then you will not only know why my book is entitled Pets Need Wholesome Food Also but you will also thoroughly enjoy what my book has to offer you..

My Book Is About Love:

At first glance, my book appears to be a book about health and nutrition. But I always tell people that my book is actually about love... loving our pets so much that we want to do the best we can for them in every aspect of their life.

It's a fact... our pets bring great joy to our life. Our pets love us and we love them.

One way we can express or show our love for our pets is by feeding them a wholesome diet. Thus as you read my book, please always focus on the love for your pet or pets.

Sad to say, some people just see a pet as a pet and not as living being that requires wholesome foods. It's always difficult for those of us that realize that as pet guardians we have a responsibility to treat our pets with love in every way including the food we feed them. I am often asked how can we change those that feed unhealthy pet foods. I always tell people that we should not try to change or convince others, but rather we should be a shining example. When you shine bright your light will eventually guide others too.

About This Web Site - Brief History:

At first, Pets Need Wholesome Food Also was just a 20 page booklet. Due to a publisher's request, this book gradually grew to about 130 pages by 1997.

Although a publisher was interested in formally publishing this book, I decided to keep it self published. Around 1998, I stopped selling this book and then I waited for the right opportunity... along with enough free time to republish this book in a web page format. In December of 2000, I launched pet-grub.com and it has been online ever since!

My book and web site are popular for a few reasons:

1. My book is written in simple English.

2. My unique method of organizing information allows you to read my book in any order you want.

3. Rather than educate with scientific words, my book instead educates with descriptive words allowing you to see what you already know in your mind's eye.

4. My books talks to you rather than reads to you.

5. My books has lots of fun and silly images... which everyone loves... especially me!

Believe it or not, most of the information in this book comes from watching nature shows on the Discovery Channel! Well, few people believe this, but it be the truth. I would take notes on interesting facts and information while watching wildlife shows... and as you read my book, you may notice many of the little facts I took note of.

Tiger Temple:

Jesse, the author and creator of pet-grub.com, is proud to support the Tiger Temple at Wat Pa Luangta Bua Yanasampanno Forest Monastery, in Saiyok District of Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. Jesse supports the efforts of The Abbot- Pra Acharn Phusit (Chan), in his mission of creating a sanctuary for tigers where they may roam freely and safely. Jesse also supports the Abbot's efforts to train the cubs born at the sanctuary for life in the jungle, where they are meant to be!

The Tiger Temple is a wonderful place where many animals, not just tigers find sanctuary. Many of the animals come and leave the sanctuary as they please.
