Information:


I am currently working on this page. I will be adding more recipes as time permits.

If you wish to learn more on pet nutrition and find more properly balanced recipes for preparing your pet's meals at home (which you really should if you wish to prepare your pet's meals at home) I suggest you consider purchasing the following books:

If you are vegetarian you may also wish to read: Obligate Carnivore: Cats, Dogs, and What it Really Means to be Vegan -- by Jed Gillen

Remember that variety is not only the spice of life, but essential to good health. Make sure to vary your pets diet and also make sure they receive their proper daily supplements.

Recipes:

Please note, that since we are vegetarians/vegan, I am sharing a few vegetarian/vegan recipes here. If you are looking for recipes with meat, please see the books recommended above. Our dog is 100% vegan, but our cats are only 1/2 veggie. They get a high quality vegan dry food (from Vegancats.com) and homemade "wet" dishes for breakfast and dinner.
