Why should you prepare food for your pets? It’s simple. The pet food industry has let you down. You have depended on them to provide wholesome nutrition to keep your pets healthy. They advertise ingredients as holistic, natural, and human grade; in reality, ingredients are often waste products from the human food industry or rendered meals from diseased animal carcasses. The pet food industry has spent millions of advertising and teaching dollars to convince veterinarians and the pet-owning public that the only way to provide a complete diet is to feed processed industrial food. Unfortunately, since the advent of processed food for pets, the pandemic of degenerative health problems has escalated in dogs and cats. Veterinarians continually treat inflammatory and degenerative diseases, yet they fail to see any correlation between the highly processed diets and disease. The profession has been talked into believing that industrial food cannot possibly be a causative factor in disease. In fact, they have been taught by the major pet food companies that the only way to treat chronic disease is to prescribe more processed industrialized foods. Dr. Judy Morgan has a passion for healing her patients with whole foods, minimizing medications and chemicals, allowing the body to heal from within. In this book she explains, in understandable language, how to utilize Traditional Chinese Medicine food therapy to keep your dog naturally healthy. Making food for your dog doesn’t have to be complicated; it can cost less than buying prescription diets and medications to treat disease. The path to good health is good nutrition. Show your dog some love with a home cooked meal!
I have been home cooking for my dogs for about 9 years. This has been an amazing resource as my pug has aged and needed added ingredients to address arthritis, dry eye, and other senior pet issues. Both of my dogs have food intolerances and allergies, so home cooking is the best option for us, and I love having this book to refer to when I need to change up their diets.
A fantastic book. Great if your dog is ill or you want to prevent them from becoming so. I learned so much and feel ready to try out some recipes. Luckily my dogs are not ill yet so hopefully with all these lovely meals they never will be.
Good book but I wanted more. I didn’t feel like the TCVM part was in depth as much I would like. If the pictures of plates of food were on same page as diet, could’ve added maybe a 100 pages of more info 🤷🏻♀️ I am already a raw feeder so perhaps I am not the target audience I did get ideas on feeding some vegetables which I don’t do often. I did also find something to research more- glutamine. I have an IBD dog that has been getting glutamine but she also has cancer and I hadn’t heard not to give it with cancer before
I have an older dog who was recently diagnosed with a rumor in her trachea. The first thing I did was immediately begin to prepare her meals. This is a great guideline for anyone wanting to improve their dog's health by eliminating the poison that is commercially prepared dog food.
I reviewed this for a website I help edit (DogODay.com). It is helpful if you have the resources, time and energy to cook natural foods for your pets, but this wouldn't be feasible for the vast majority of pet owners.
Easy to understand book with helpful chart of how much food your dog should eat based on pet's ideal healthy weight. Variety of recipes with ingredients that are simple to find. Majority of the recipes offer three different ways to prepare the food.
Truly a priceless resource for dog parents. It not only explains the science behind everything - reasons to include or not include certain foods - but it also has amazing and easy recipes to follow.
A must-have if you want to provide healthy meals for your pups.
The type is so small on Kindle format I have to zoom in for it to be legible which makes this not worth trying to read.. waste of money I'm very disappointed
