TAKING CARE OF OUR FURRY FRIENDS.
As my Pomeranian started getting older he began having numerous health problems. The amount of medication the doctors were putting him on made me uncomfortable so I began researching alternatives. I noticed a drastic change in my own health when I began eating right so I figured this must be the case with my dog too. I thought these dry "meat crackers" he'd been eating all this life couldn't be good for him. After all humans and animals weren't meant to live on processed foods.
When I started cooking for my 14 years old Pomeranian things changed drastically in his health. I slowly began to take him off his medications which included: Vetmedin for his heart, Lasix for the fluid build up in his lungs, Thyrovet for his low thyroid count, and Enalapril for his high blood pressure. Almost 15 years old now I'm happy to say that he is completely off medication and doing just fine.
DOG FOOD RECIPE
The amount will vary depending on the size of your dog. The ratio should be 25% veggies and 75% protein.
- Grass fed beef cooked rare to medium rare
- Organic carrot
- Organic blueberries
- Organic chard or kale
- 1 tbs raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar (I use Bragg.)
All veggies and fruit must be blended or chopped finely. Dogs cannot process whole vegetables. If your dog eats a whole carrot it will come out as a carrot. The protein can be swapped out. I switch between grass fed beef and pork loin. Turkey, chicken, bison, and quail are all great options as well. My dog has a lot of food allergies so I stick to pork loin and grass fed beef. It’s important to find out if your dog has any food allergies. There are two tests that vets use to test food allergies for pets. I made the mistake of doing the Spectrum Vet test first only to find out it’s not only not accurate but not helpful. Nutriscan is the only accurate test for this. You can get it through your vet or, like everything else these days, you can find it on Amazon.
