Natural Homemade Pet Food's Magic Ingredient — Love

Dogs and cats deserve a wholesome raw meat diet

Unique Introduction

Here's what I've noticed people say about homemade food for dogs and cats...

  • I'm lazy and I want something easy
  • oh, I don't think I have time 'cuz I'm just too busy
  • now why would I want to do that
  • isn't it going to be expensive
  • did I say people mention the word lazy
  • sounds great but why
  • lazy, there's that word again
  • great! but I need something quick and simple or else!!!! !!!!!

Making homemade pet food is like a skate on a pondWell luckily for you, the good news is homemade food is not difficult. In fact it's childishly simplistic. Some might say making homemade food is like a skate on the pond.

What I find though is that people make preparing homemade pet food difficult and I never know why?!? Do you?

Personally, I'm lazy and I want something simple simple simple and still simpler than simple.

Pets Need Wholesome Food Also will explain how to make natural homemade dog food and cat food with my proven quick and simple method that is ridiculously easy. It's so simple you will be dumbfounded, guaranteed!

In fact, feeding a wholesome homemade diet can be so simple that you may wonder why a book is even needed. Truthfully, a book probably isn't needed and in just 3 words, I can tell you how to make and/or feed homemade pet food — feed raw meat.

Think about that for a moment — feed raw meat — the meat is raw and so that means no cooking. No cooking?!? Yes, I said no cooking. Think about that too — no cooking.

If the meat doesn't need to be cooked, then really, feeding a wholesome raw meat diet is as quick as feeding dry food or canned food. When feeding commercial pet food, you grab the food from the bag or the can. With commercial pet food, you just grab the raw meat from the fridge.

Making a homemade diet is not like preparing chicken cordon bleu. Homemade pet food is not complicated and no cooking experience is required nor are you expected to wear a funny chef's hat. The hat is, of course, optional!

While feeding a wholesome raw meat diet is really that simple, there are some things you should know such as some do's and dont's, how to make the raw meat diet more complete, how much to feed, feeding methods or choices, etc. My book will explain all of this to you while helping you understand some of the many reasons why feed a raw meat diet. In this way, you are not just feeding a diet, but you are feeding yourself with knowledge and understanding.

Unfortunately, many people confuse animal nutrition with human nutrition. There is a difference you know. Animal nutrition really is nothing more than common sense and we all have common sense I hope!

There may be times when you might be shocked at the information presented within this book and this is because you are thinking in terms of human nutrition. When you begin to confuse human nutrition with animal nutrition, here's what you do:

  • bark like your dog or meow like your cat

Now I know you all think that barking or meowing is crazy, silly, stupid, childish and something only a dummy would do, but this is exactly why I suggest this.

When you bark like your dog or meow like your cat you will stimulate your nervous system to remind you that, hey, this is animal nutrition, not human nutrition. So, please feel free to bark or meow at any point while reading this book. If someone asks what you're doing, just say you're stimulating your nervous system and ask if they would care to join you!

Remember, animal nutrition is common sense and nothing more.

Love Is The Answer

If love is the answer, then what's the question?

Ultimately, one could say that if we trace all questions back to their origins, then love is the answer to every question. But in this case, the question is, why do many find feeding a wholesome raw meat diet too much work?

Well, the answer is this — when there is love, everything is easy.

People who find feeding wholesome homemade pet food a chore do so because they are not feeding with love. For some reason, they cannot find the love within them to embrace the simplicity of a wholesome homemade diet. As a result, they give up. There can be many underlying reasons for this, but what I know is that when you truly love feeding a wholesome raw meat diet, you will find it to be incredibly easy.

When there is love, everything is easy.

Unfortunately, many people also do not feed a wholesome raw meat diet because they see their cat as just a cat or their dog as just a dog. But when you realize that your dog or cat is a living being that requires wholesome nutrition, then we as humans, should assume the responsibility to feed them well.

While I am not a fan of commercial pet foods, I do admire those who feed commercial pet foods with love, because at least, they are doing what their heart tells them (even though I could never feed commercial pets food ever again).

As Far As I Knew — I Did Not Have A Sick Pet

2010-07-18

My story begins a little differently. As far as I knew — I did not have a sick pet.

My dog, who is now 8 years old, was getting gray hair far earlier than I thought was normal — she's had two operations on her back legs due to stretched out ligaments from chasing squirrels, and had the mid life bulge around her mid to back section — but the vets never said anything about her being too heavy at 60 pounds.

I purchased a juicer and wanted more info on juicing and came across the Juicing Book website. As I read further, I saw the pet nutrition link and forgot all about me and was intrigued that there was even a reference to pets on a juicing site.

I had been making my dogs food since the Chinese scare of tainted pet food. What I didn't know then, was while I was looking after her best interest — I was slowly killing her at the same time.

So, long story short, I dove into the whole raw diet for Rudy. I cut her off of all cooked foods starting in either February or March of this year, 2010. She wasn't keen on it and wouldn't eat for several days, no matter what I put in her bowl. I soon discovered that she didn't mind eating meat that was partially frozen. Now, she eats her food enthusiastically, cold or room temp.

Her change in diet did come with some repercussions. She had the most awful gas for a couple of days in the beginning and it about killed us. Jesse informed me that this was her body detoxing and should end shortly — which I'm all too happy to report did.

He suggested that she would benefit from some supplements; especially the digestive enzymes and the Pet GO which supports the organs and glands for a reason I don't remember... but I too have to use digestive enzymes among other supplements, and this made sense to me as well.

About 4 or 5 months into her new eating regiment she started urinating what looked like coffee colored urine. She didn't behave stressed out, still ate her food but it was a pretty disturbing sight. So I took her to the vets and they did an ultra sound and said she had no blockages, and wanted to send me home with antibiotics (which I didn't use); but in the meantime I hit Jesse with an email asking him what his thoughts were. Again, he informed this that this was more likely another sign of detoxification as she was expelling kidney sediment from her kidneys. He never knew that she had bladder problems from an infections as a puppy; but because of the dark urine it was a kidney issue. Sure enough, without any antibiotics or other drugs her urine cleared; she had terrible gas again for a couple of days and every so often it will creep on us again — but we are now familiar with the fact that this is a detox mechanism.

Jesse also explained to us that the flushing of the kidney sediment from the kidneys has helped prevent the forming of kidney stones, which obviously make me happy to know!

By the way, while at the vets office, she weighed 53 pounds (which means she has lost 7 pounds while eating all the food she wants). She looks amazing, her coat is becoming back to normal and her figure looks really good — the middle age spread is gone and she doesn't waddle when she walks.

The picture doesn't do her any justice — but hope that you can see the color of her hair becoming natural again as opposed to gray.

We can't thank Jesse enough for holding our hands thru this process — it will be much easier for the next puppy that we get — but all the information and assistance is beyond words.

In Just 6 Days

2010-06-10

Here’s our story.

We have 2 rescue Chihuahuas, one is a mix, we believe, with Jack Russell Terrier. His name is Lucky and he is approximately 8 years old. We rescued him 3 years ago. Our other little guy is Chico and he is about 2-3 years old. We rescued him November, 2008 and they said he was 2 but we think he was younger, just looked older and acted older because he was undernourished. We have been feeding NutroMax and Iams dog foods, which we believed were on the better side of commercial grade pet food.

Lucky has lost some teeth and recently developed allergies with wheezing and coughing. The vet gave us 2 medicines for him to give twice a day. On Saturday, May 29, 2010, he came to his breakfast, sniffed the food, shook and shuddered and walked away. I thought that was weird!, but when he gets hungry he will eat. Saturday night he did the same thing and also Sunday morning. By now my husband, Robert, and I are getting a little concerned. Lucky is a little chunky, but not obese, so missing a few meals probably wouldn’t hurt him as long as he was drinking his water, which he was. Well I tried giving him the canned food, which he ate for a couple of meals and then did the same thing as he did with the dry. Sniffed, shuddered and walked away. Well, for a week I tried several things, canned chicken, cut up chicken (sautéed) and then on Friday, June 4, 2010, I started searching the internet for homemade pet food. Praise the Lord! I found your website. I immediately switched both dogs to raw food on Saturday morning. I happened to have thawed a chicken breast, cut it into small pieces and they both chowed down!

Saturday I bought some ground meat, turkey and some beef (lean), and have been feeding them both raw meat mixed with some chopped frozen veggies ever since. The immediate improvement (within 6 days) in both dogs has been just short of miraculous. Lucky is not wheezing and is back to his old bouncy self. He gets the bounce from the Jack Russell side of his family. He hasn’t had his meds since he quit eating because we thought they might have been part of the problem. Chico is more relaxed and not as fearful, which is a strange benefit, but I’m loving it. We believe he was quite abused in his former life and even after being with us for 1-1/2 years still acted fearful. Both their coats are smoother already and their bowel movements are much better, still firm, but not hard. Believe it or not they are even getting along better with each other. I guess just generally feeling better overall.

I am so excited about their new diet, oops, new life style change, and am telling everyone about it and giving them your web site info and a copy of the condensed version of your book.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being there when we needed you.

God bless you and keep up the good work taking care of His creation that give us so much love. And isn’t love the key to everything?

The Results Have Been Amazing

2011-02-22

Thank you for this!!

I am a dog trainer and work for a dog grooming business. I have always known that a raw food diet is just plain common sense. I have convinced many pet owners to come over to the other side so to speak, and put their animal on a raw diet. The results have been amazing!!! Of course it has!

I went online to find a way to make your own raw pet food, and I was blessed to find your site. Many pet owners I deal with say they cannot afford the raw food offered on the market. You have put into print what I have been thinking and telling folks. But you have gone all the extra miles!!! Your book is extraordinary and genius!!! Believe me... common sense is genius when it come to understanding animals, their behavior, and their eating requirements. Common sense is rarely used these days in our society. Thank you for all your hard work. Your hard work just made my life and the lives of many pets easier. :) (grinning ear to ear and if I had a tail, it would be wagging viciously)
