Pet Recipes
To help your dog or cat live a healthy and long life, cooking or preparing your own food may be your best and most preferred option. Why? Because in preparing our own meals we have control over the ingredients we use and the quality of the food. And as we get better at preparing our pets meals, we can fine tune elements catering to the pickiest of animals and those that have health problems.
What complicates things and puts animals at risk is when we do not correctly know how to prepare fully complete and healthy meals. People think that Chicken and Rice is healthy, but dogs and cats do not have the enzymes to break down and process certain things.
Because of this, we may actually be hurting our pets instead of helping, even if we have the best of intentions.
That is why it is very important to know how to correctly prepare meals and feed, so that all nutritional requirements are met. Some breeds do better with certain ingredients. Some dogs who lick their feet should not eat Sweet Potatoes or Pumpkin. And cats, even more difficult to make sure they get the correct amount of Taurine.

We recommend low glycemic green veggies only.
A mixture of either - Kale. Spinach. Green Beans. Broccoli tops. Zucchini. Dandelion greens. Chard.
Veggies can be emulsified raw or steamed.
Meat should be cooked till medium done. We recommend adding one inch of water and stirring meat on high heat, instead of boiling or adding oils.
The meat to vegetable ratio: 60/40 or 50/50. When feeding, if stools are loose, it means you have too much protein. The fiber in the vegetables work to bind stool promoting more complete digestion.
