Real Food for Healthy Dogs (and Cats)

Dr. Karen Becker, as a licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine,  helps educate readers about natural animal health.. It's become herpersonal mission to help support pet owners like yourself in making smart choices for feeding your pets.

Just as with humans, your pet's diet largely determines his or her overall health. Considering today's choices for feeding your pet, she is  more concerned than ever for your pet's health and their ancestral need for a natural, balanced diet.

Unless you prepare your pet's food yourself, you really don't know for sure what's in it.

What Are the Advantages of Preparing Your Pet's Food?

• You have total control over what goes into your pet's food.
• You can provide fresh, "living foods" for unsurpassed vibrant health.

While preparing your pet's food yourself is the healthiest way to go, there are a couple of caveats you need to be aware of.

Just because you toss together meat and a vegetable or two – or even worse – random leftover table scraps or a raw chicken wing, you do NOT have an appropriately balanced diet!

Even though your pet may look healthy from the homemade diet you're feeding, nutritional deficiencies can easily go undetected in the beginning. Within two or three years, deficiencies can lead to major cardiovascular and organ changes.
