When you end an interactive play session you want your cat to feel satisfied. If you end abruptly then the cat is left revved up as if the job wasn't finished.

Although your cats may play well in a group session, nothing takes the place of being able to fully focus on being a hunter without getting distracted by another cat or being concerned about getting intimidated. Individual interactive play sessions are valuable for helping your cat develop confidence and they can also help reduce anxiety, boredom, and other unwanted behaviors. Individual sessions are FUN! These sessions are special also for valuable one-on-one time with each cat. Don't miss out on these opportunities.

My dog, Griffin, views being sprayed by the backyard hose as the greatest game of all. I can’t water my flowers without spending at least 10 minutes allowing Griffin to run back and forth through the water spray. Try that with a cat? I don’t think so! Cats are known for their dislike of

“Fresh food is too expensive for my pets” say 50% of pet parents 💔

Budgets are a reality for most people. And when so many are struggling to feed their families enough food it’s extra stressful to factor in healthier options because they’re significantly more expensive 🤯.

The entire world is waking up to the fact that kids aren’t thriving on dollar menu meals and Total cereal (it’s “100% nutritionally complete” 🙄) and pets aren’t thriving on fast food pellets (aka kibble, and even the most expensive kibble is still, well, kibble).

Because of folks like you, who know food matters, millions of pet parents now recognize their furry beloveds need more than one highly refined boxed dinner their whole lives. But because commercial pet food made with fresh, human-grade ingredients are 3-4 times more expensive than average pet foods, many people feel stuck feeding highly refined foods and treats they know aren’t the best for health.

So what do you do if you know better, but you can’t afford to do better? That is the most heartbreaking dilemma of all💔. And one we’re on a mission to fix. ❤️

Most wellness-oriented animal lovers are aware that foods coming from our own kitchens are the freshest, most nutritious food for our animals consume. But what most people don’t know is it’s also potentially the cheapest way to feed real food. Making some, most or all of your animal’s food, toppers and treats is incredibly satisfying, not only because you know exactly what your animal is consuming, but because you’re nourishing your pets so much better with far LESS money, compared to buying a similar commercial product.

The most economical way to make DIY nutritionally complete raw, gently cooked or crockpot diets for dogs or cats is using human grade vitamin and mineral supplements to fill the nutritional gaps (deficiencies). So many people are pleasantly surprised to find out they can make healthier food for less than they were spending on dry food 🥳

It’s important to everyone, including us vets, that homemade diets provide everything pets need, which is why following a properly balanced recipe is important. To address this economical quandary for those on a budget, we have provided 120+ recipes in our upcoming book, a 291 page work-around for those wanting more for less. This full color “how-to” guide offers step-by-step solutions for recycling your healthy human leftovers into incredibly nutritious pet food, treats, toppers, stews and broths. And for those of you not wanting to use supplements, of course there are also whole food recipes for puppies, kittens, adult and less active pets. Here’s to EVERYBODY being able to feed their families better❣️😘
