Act 4 - Scene 25
Short Summary

Animal nutrition is not complex. In fact it is amazingly simple and homemade pet food should be nothing more than a simulation of what a dog or cat would naturally get in the wild.

Review of Animal Nutritional Principles and Guidelines:

• Only one animal protein should be fed at one time when possible.

• Feed as many vegetables as you can at one time.

• Meats should always be raw and dog and cats need raw fat in their diet.

• Vegetables should be fed raw and they need to be finely chopped to simulate predigestion.

• Dog and cats need their food to be the consistency of a thick stew as they should eat and drink at the same time.

• Let your dog or cat eat as much as they want at each feeding.

• A mature dog or cat should eat once or twice a day and puppies and kittens can be fed up to 6 times per day.

• Free feeding is not good as the carnivore is designed to eat a lot of food and then let it be fully digested before eating again.

• Eggs should be immersed in hot water for about 5 minutes.

• Since most pets prefer their food warm and since carnivores eat based on their sense of smell, hot water is added to the food to increase the water consistency and to volatize the odour.

• Calcium is the most important supplement to provide your pet with as raw meat is high in phosphorus. In order to balance the phosphorus, calcium must be added to your pet's meal. I like to use finely ground egg shells.
