There’s sadly far too much misinformation provided by large companies most put their trust in, only to be deceived about what is right for their pets health & wellbeing. 

Most aren’t aware of the damage that’s being done by consistently feeding their pets the processed, convenient can or kibble each day. Our pets should receive the diet, health & lifestyle they can have to thrive way past 10 years old (yes even large breeds), as yes, with good health, diet & lifestyle- dogs can live past 20 even. 

Feeding your pets commercial & even prescription diets is shortening their lives, slowly but surely. Any type of store bought dry food, expensive or not – is cooked at temperatures that are too high for it to maintain its nutritional value, so it metabolises poorly. Dry food is the leading food choice for its convenience & affordability, which breeds chronic health issues & shortens life spans. 

The cheaper it is, the worse quality it is, like everything- but unfortunately most prescription food is also made for convenience. The mysterious ’gelling agents’ , ‘meats’ & dry food cooked at high temperatures, has lost its nutritional value completely.

It’s a fact- the reason long life supermarket pet food is so cheap, is because of the low cost euthanised animals, pesticides, artificial flavours & fats, drugs & hormones that are unfortunately and sinisterly in these products. Awareness around this needs to rise. Pentobarbital sodium has consistently been found in commercial pet food (used to euthanise pets) – all types of pet foods, leading to many recalls.

This is mostly why we have so many very unwell dogs, cats & animals in general today – as they aren’t receiving the nutrient rich, fresh & safe diet they deserve & require to be healthy. I’m talking about short – long term issues – skin issues, ear infections, arthritis, diabetes & even more serious, heart & kidney failure- the list goes on. 

Your pets diet health is heavily reliant on a balanced, nutritious diet to maintain proper functioning & a strong immune, which they can only receive through home cooking. 

A balanced home cooked diet is the healthiest option for your pets & won’t contribute to long term health issues- I have trialed on my kelpie cross- he’s 10, looks/acts like he’s 3 years old & is healthier, with a stronger immune than at 5 years, when he was still on commercial dog food. He used to get mysterious viruses that made him incredibly ill – as soon as we switched to homemade & a single protein diet, he’s been the healthiest he’s ever been with 0 health concerns. All his warts dropped off, he lost 4kg, his  coat shined more, his energy picked up, anxiety disappeared- from a simple diet change.

*Good quality, nutrient rich food, suitable for the pets needs, is the best way to prevent & treat disease*

Give it a try yourself & you’ll notice the improvements in your pets health. With a rotation of my recipes- yes it might be more time consuming, but what would you prefer: feeding your pet food you know is harmful to their health/shortening their life, or spending an hour or so a week prepping your pets food so you know what’s in it & most importantly, so they are with you longer! 

Add very small amounts of fresh & safe food in your pets diet, see how they respond & add in slowly (dogs & cats require a slow transition to a new diet). Many worry it won’t be a total balanced diet, though this is untrue, as with knowledge/research of safe foods to rotate & a rotation of my recipes to come, including all key ingredients- it will be a long term change you wish you started earlier for your pet.
