WHEN TO FEED: never just feed! Your dogs dignity depends on being allowed to earn his food in his pack. You are his pack and he needs to feel he has earned your respect. Give him exercise or a job or ask him to do small tricks in exchange for his food. It will help you in many ways you cannot imagine and keep your dog happy and balanced. Before you place the bowl down, make sure to feed the most calmest dog first, regardless of age or position in your pack. This will encourage a peaceful mealtime without aggression. When your dog is calm and relaxed, reward him/her with the food.

HOW OFTEN: you chose if you wish to break the meal in several mealtimes a day. Consider that your dog will need time to digest and if fed in the evening it may lead to accidents overnight. If you feed late, allow adequate time to take care of business afterward.

WHY THIS FOOD VS OTHERS: many of us are not aware of the detrimental practices of dogfood companies. Before any dogfood gets released in the market it must be tested-and it is tested on other animals. The cruelty and prison these poor dogs live through to make your dog happy is not necessary. many of these test dogs never see daylight, have no contact to humans other than food, and are severely overweight or sick from food not suitable for their health.
The recipes below have been tested by the creator herself in her own home on her own dogs who live healthy and happy under a veterinarians supervision showing no signs of deficiencies of any kind. Her book is available explaining more on her thoughts and journey that brought her to publish.

4. Swap out the junk food

Most conventional pet-food brands you find at the supermarket consist of reconstituted animal by-products, otherwise known as low-grade wastes from the beef and poultry industries—you know, inedibles you wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot fork. In fact, the animals used to make many pet foods are classified as “4-D,” which is really a polite way of saying “Dead, Dying, Diseased, or Down (Disabled)” when they line up at the slaughterhouse. Unless that can of Chicken ‘N Liver Delite explicitly states that it contains FDA-certified, food-grade meat, you should know that its contents are considered unfit for human consumption—but apparently good enough for your cat or pooch.

Now, since nutrition is one of the key determinants of health and resistance to disease, ideally you’ll want your pet’s chow to be comparable in quality with what we would eat.

Natural and organic pet foods use meats that are raised in sustainable, humane ways without added drugs or hormones, minimally processed, and preserved with natural substances, such as vitamins C and E. Certified-organic pet foods must meet strict USDA standards that spell out how ingredients are produced and processed, which means no pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, artificial preservatives, artificial ingredients or genetically engineered ingredients.
