I am a lifelong dog lover, and really became an advocate for healthy, fresh dog food after losing my dog Franklin to cancer at 8 years old. It's the same for our dogs. Most dog food is highly processed at high temps, so the nutritional value has to be added back in after processing. For our dogs, eating the same dog food day in and day out is like you or I eating the same cereal or fast food for e

very meal. It wouldn't lead to a very healthy life! I have devoted the last 3 years to researching and making appropriate dog foods and treats. I have also recently earned my Pet Food Nutrition Specialist certificate!

Wanna know who loves dried fish? Our dogs! ♥️ fish are a delicious source of omega 3 fatty acids, which benefit skin, coat, and joint health! 🐟

♥️🐾 We didn’t really know either dog as little puppies; Wally was 4 months old and Oliver was almost a year old when we got him.
Bonus! House training was really easy!! (I don’t think Oliver has ever had an accident in the house!)

Yum! Single ingredient, stinky, high protein fish treats! Great meal toppers ☺️

Ok, so some dogs are totally stoked no matter what’s in their bowls! ♥️My Franklin was one of them. Nearly 💯kibble fed, seasonal allergies, itchy and hot spots every summer. I was afraid to deviate from the fancy vet recommended kibble because I thought the allergies would get worse or it would upset his tummy. 😢 Sadly, I lost my Franklin at only 8 to a very aggressive cancer. By the time I switched him to fresh food, it was too late. 😢 Kibble did his poor immune system NO favors. 💚In those weeks of fresh food while he was sick, his allergies and itching disappeared! Plus, absolutely NO digestive issues! ♥️ Even if your dog is on a kibble diet I encourage you to add some fresh, real, good-bacteria, nutrient- dense food to that kibble! 💜Even just a little can make a big difference! ❓Does your Best Friend enjoy fresh foods?

❓Did you know❓ Most kibble dog foods are 30-50% carbs, with some grain free options measuring even higher! ✅ Carbs aren’t horrible for dogs in small, whole-food forms, but... ✅The National Research Council (the organization that sets pet food nutrition standards) says dogs don’t need them! ✅AND manufacturers aren’t required to list carb percentages on their labels! ✅Plus, many of the carbs in kibbles are cheap fillers with little to no nutritional value and can cause health issues in our pets. ✅ Check out Best Friend’s new blog post to learn how to easily calculate the carbs in your dog’s food and why you should care. 🔗link in the bio

You can add fresh foods to your dog’s kibble to boost the nutritional value. 🎃pumpkin: fiber and digestive aid 🐄cottage cheese: calcium, protein (go easy as some dogs are lactose intolerant) 🥕Carrots: vitamins, nutrients 🫐Blueberries: antioxidants What do you add to your dog’s kibble? #dognutrition #dogfood #dogfoodie #healthydogs #healthydogsarehappydogs #kibbleaddition #dogfoodchallenge #bestfriendskitchen

Best Friends’ Kitchen Story

In 2017, my heart dog, Franklin collapsed on a walk. We later found this otherwise healthy looking and acting dog had an aggressive and very common cancer; hemangiosarcoma. He would have a 6-8 month survival rate with surgery and chemo, Most dogs don’t survive it beyond 2 months. This was the first we had ever heard of it. I always knew that dogs had high cancer rates, but never thought it would happen to me.

Upon learning of his illness, I researched dog cancers, diets, and environmental factors. I learned that Franklin’s diet of higher-quality kibble, along with skin allergy medicine he’d taken much of his life were likely contributors.

I started cooking for him. The allergies disappeared! For the first time in his short 8 year life, he wasn’t scratching for the whole fall season! His coat shone like silk, and he was happy. Sadly, I was not able to save my dog from the cancer. His was a rapidly spreading, hard to contain cancer. I do believe I bought him some time. I know the new, delicious diet brought him quality of life during his illness.

After the loss of Franklin, I continued to cook my dogs’ food and treats for 2 more years, using only high-quality, human grade ingredients. The food is balanced, so that dogs who enjoy it do not suffer from nutritional deficiencies. I recently obtained my feed license from the state of Michigan. A few clients have jumped on along the way. Recently, I started selling at a local Farmers’ Market to a fabulous response.
