Commercially manufactured foods cannot offer the same freshness and nutrition as our made-when-you-order meals, nor can they provide the individual needs that your pet deserves. I have been feeding raw since the early '90's, having attended several seminars on the BARF diet with Dr. Ian Billinghurst. I started with my first dog-of-my-own, a Siberian Husky I named Sabrina. She came from a working s
led dog breeder that fed a mostly raw diet. Up until this point, like everybody else brainwashed by dog food companies and vets, I just thought you fed the best kibble you could afford, no big deal. My only fear of going all raw was not creating proper balance, which is why I traveled to see and meet Dr. Billinghurst. Keep in mind, I was 17 - so safe to say I was obsessed with my pup! I did work my little powerhouse (and by work I mean "holy crap this is fun!"). We traveled the upper Midwest competing in weight pulls and a few team races. There I met many people and got hooked up with a police dog training apprenticeship in North Carolina. Taking what I learned about behavior modification, aggression, obedience and working dog nutrition, I came back to the northern suburbs of Chicago and became a self-employed dog trainer. I worked with more rescue/shelter dogs than I could actually count, rehabilitating through behavior modification and nutrition, much of which was on a volunteer basis. I also fostered special needs dogs who would otherwise sit in a no-kill shelter their entire lives. Years of this started to wear on me emotionally, so I took a break from training and stuck with nutrition. I started making pet food for family and friends, then their friends wanted in on it. I never fully went back to training, although I think about it all the time, and I'm currently a personal trainer, for people, and have a strong knowledge base on human nutrition as well. I still foster on occasion and participate in fund raising events as often as possible. Our meal plans are based on your pet's specific needs, according to his/her breed, weight, activity level and physical condition. Of course your personal requests are considered as well. Most meals are prepared and fed raw, as we honestly believe this is THE healthiest way to feed your pets! Cooked/semi-cooked meals are available for those pet owners who are not yet comfortable with raw feeding. All foods are made with fresh, human-grade meats, vegetables/fruit and are grain-free or very low-grain. Healthy fats and supplements are added for the needs of your pet. Every meal is labeled with an ingredients label so you know exactly what you are feeding your dog, cat or ferret.
