I am not one of those people that believes every single cat and dog will do best on raw food. Raw is certainly my preference and most do well, but I have seen many cases where a pet benefits from gently cooked meals (like seniors). If you are going to gently cook my recipes, they should be cooked at a lower temperature. I usually use 325F. It should remain juicy, you do NOT want to overcook it.

If you want to gently cook a raw commercial recipe, check with the brand beforehand to make sure it can be gently cooked.

❌ Do not serve your pets cooked bones!

If you’re a pet parent too scared to take the leap with raw or it didn’t go well for your pet, don’t let that stop you from finding a high quality, gently cooked option! You can view the list of brands I trust to feed to my own pets on my pet food & nutrition resources page.

Foods that are high in moisture and cool the body are called Yin foods or Yin tonics.

Yesterday I shared that we see more urinary blockages in cats during the month of February than any other month in the year due to kidney yin deficiency.

Pets that are Yin Deficient (moisture deficient) may have:
• a dry coat
• dry foot pads
• a dry, cracked nose
• flaky skin
• a dark pink or red tongue
• excessive panting

I'm always surprised by the number of people who feed their dogs frozen or super cold food without letting it warm to room temperature (68°F or 20°C) first. Feeding frozen food or cold food is a detriment in so many ways. Here are the main reasons. As far as frozen treats, yes, they are fun, trendy and joyous but keep them to a minimum, away from main meals, and small. So many dogs have issues with their digestive health, food sensitivities, and organ function. Be mindful of cold and how it contributes to disease. Feed frozen treats seasonally in the heat of the Summer.
