DON’T FEED HOMEMADE PET FOOD!!!!☠️
Most vets say no👎🏻 to homemade pet food because studies shows more than 90% of internet recipes and pet cookbooks have recipes with terrible or inadequate nutrition, meaning meals taste and look good, but don’t meet your animals’ basic requirements for daily vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fats that are necessary for long-term health and well-being. That’s just a fact.
“But my pet likes my homemade food” and “I didn’t have to think about balancing with my other kids” is what we hear, as vets… but remember we are also the professionals having to deal with the ramifications of nutrient deficiencies in clinical practice that are very real: heart, kidney, liver, thyroid and eye degeneration, ligament tears, skin and coat problems, pancreatitis, immune system dysfunction, behavior problems and overwhelming gut issues, day after day.😿
Feeding recipes you find on the internet (and 99% of most pet cook books in print) is fine for a few meals a week… but how do you know you’re meeting your animals’ OPTIMAL nutrient intake when none of these recipes divulge exactly what vitamins, minerals, fats and amino acids are in their foods?! You can’t. Hence your vet’s rub.
And this is why vets around the world almost unanimously discourage parents from making their own pet food: you’re guessing at nutritional requirements, and guessing incorrectly. And who ultimately pays at that guessing game? Your pet - and their long term health. Don’t do it.
Thankfully, things are about to change.
This first-ever recipe book The Forever Dog LIFE, custom-formulates raw and gently cooked meals that meet species-specific recommended allowances for growing animals, adult animals and less active pets… and it’s never been done before, which is why we’ve done it now💥. It’s time for change.
We can’t wait for you to confidently show our complete nutritional analyses to your veterinarian, because chances are the food that you are feeding doesn’t have one (or the manufacturer refuses to disclose it🤬).
Every single one of our age & activity-level customized recipes (that tempt even the finickiest dog or cat) do not exceed extrapolated FEDIAF maximum nutrient requirements (no copper excesses!😅), and of course exceed current FEDIAF and AAFCO minimums.🙌
So what are you waiting for? Take charge of your pets’ nutrition, and show your veterinarian exactly what is in the pet food you are feeding or making at home… now is the time to advocate for your pet’s nutritional wellbeing, and challenge the status quo.
We proudly show you every nutrient in every recipe…can your pet food brand or recipe say the same? Let’s reclaim animal health now, through pure food. - Dr. Karen Becker
