So I'm learning how to cook my dogs food. I've considered getting this JUST FOR DOGS. Are you confident that these products are not synthetic? Or come from China? That's my biggest concern. Unfortunately we lost our Golden Labrador, Shelby on Sunday due to cancer. I'm learning that there is so much toxic stuff in kibble & I feel horrible as a pet mom. I've been feeding them that crap for years. I definitely want to have my pups with us as long as we can.

My 12 pound rescue terrier just diagnosed with beginning renal disease at age 10. She is an avid exerciser who values her sleep. I feed her a vegetarian kibble, soaked in her homemade vegetable mash, as she has no teeth. Poor care from previous owners. Just added plain scrambled egg and some cooked apple (tablespoon of each) today . She knocked the dish over to get every morsel. She eats 3 times daily. Seems like a large amount, but there is a lot of vegetable water (soup). I still have shells from our morning eggs and appreciated the calcium tip. I would like more recipe suggestions as she has a beginning problem that I would like to mitigate. Thanks again. Jeannie

Its amazing...I think because she finally got a dog food geared for nutritional needs and when yheyre met. Shes a calm dog that does not beg inbetween meals🤯 I was shocked. Shes a teeny teacup chihuahua..and her needs are finally met. Thank you so much. I have referred alot of peoplr to your site.

I am struggling with my 4.5 YO Pom/terrier mix and getting her to eat. She likes food like her chicken jerky or dried Liver but I have thrown away so much doctored up kibble and home made food I don't know what else to try. And I make sure it is one of the better kibble that I try. There for awhile she was ok with Fresh Pet but she started refusing that too now. I have tried toppers like sardines, bone broth, liver powder and many more things and she walks away. The last food I cooked for her with ground beef she refused. I know people say when she is hungry enough she will eat but that doesn't work with her. She hates most vegetables and used to eat blueberries and bananas but no more. She does not like pumpkin or sweet potatoes either. Sometimes if I tease her or play a game with her food she will eat but rarely. She is very active and I do take her for walks daily too so she does get good exercise and play time.

Thank you so much for these informative videos! I started cooking for my dogs when my Boston terrier had reactions to every food given. She is on the petite side at only 13 pounds, a little skinny I believe and now takes Apoquel. Having a little bit of a hard time keeping weight on her because she's so hyper. Now that you have explained the calcium so clearly, thank you, I'm a little confused with the zinc that I need to give. I have 2 dogs that are 10 pounds and a pitbull who is 65 pounds, plus the Boston, any suggestions on the zinc necessary for each? One of the videos you had put out had mentioned the zinc but I still can't figure it out for them. Keep up the great videos, thank you!

As long as you follow the recipe and mix the powder thoroughly throughout the whole recipe then it will just be balanced for both dogs. You’ll just be feeding the larger dog more based on the calories needed. And the small dog probably needs to be getting calories for an active dog. So that would be two times RER
