Kitty Krack

Another kitty convert to Kitty Krack - Cheddar, my bosses cat. Cheddar wasn't eating at all and was very thin. He began eating once the Kitty Krack was sprinkled on his food.

Slowly Converting Friends

Our good friend Schylar had surgery a couple of weeks ago. When I spoke to his owner he told me he was force feeding him. I took over a couple of containers of raw food for him. We heard that he defended his food from the other pups. Dogs like this stuff!

2 bananas

1c steel cut oats
1c frozen neem leaves

Miles Davis

Meet little Miles Davis. When he came to us a bit over a year ago he was anticipated to only weigh 4lb fully grown. He's now almost 8lbs. I attribute this to his raw food diet.

I've recently begun adding more oatmeal to the dog's diet. I want to keep the protein levels around 25%. My breakdown is 25% protein, 25% cereal (oatmeal and flax), 10% moisture, 35% vegetables and fruit, 5% healthy powder.
In the vegetables, I'm also adding some need leaves that were picked fresh, chopped and frozen. I'm lucky to have a neem tree in my yard.

Dr Pitcairn

My introduction to HandMade Dog Food was through Dr. Pitcairn. I highly recommend his book Dr. Pitcairn's New Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats. One of my favorite recipes from this book is Healthy Powder which uses nutritional or brewer's yeast, lecithin granules, kelp powder  and Vitimin C. My cat has become finicky and "required" that this mixture be sprinkled on her food. I gave a bottle to a coworker and he said that his dog would wait until she got powder before eating her food.

This book will give you recipes for dog food and useful information about dog nutrition.
