'Cause dogs can't cook & cats won't!

Feeding a natural diet is our obsession - We believe that everyone, regardless of finances or busy schedules, can make a natural raw diet work for them. Animals have been living in harmony with humans throughout history. Dogs and cats were domesticated thousands of years ago. They were companions, protectors, and hunters. What did they eat? Raw meat, bones, organs and some vegetation. That is the diet of wild dogs and cats. Commercial food (called kibble) was introduced about in the 1940's, mainly to help large kennels feed animals faster and to provide food for military dogs. Since then the Kibble industry has boomed. You can find every flavor on the market, as well as special diets for various ailments. Today commercial kibble is the norm, not the raw meat, bones and other nutrients that sustain a healthy pet. In just 60 years how could they have adapted to this new diet? A better question might be why are veterinary clinics so busy these days with so many diseased animals? |

Why feed your pets boring, bland, dry kibble which really isn't healthy? To place and order please fill out our questionnaire. The questionnaire will provide us with the information required to give you feeding recommendations and a price quote.

Chia Seeds (Our newest herb addition) Chia seeds are perhaps best known for their ability to swell into black “furry” Chia Pets. If you had any idea how nutritious these seeds were you would be eating them yourself, plus feeding them to your own pets rather than using them as art. These tiny black orbs are a crunchy, delicious nutritional powerhouse. A member of the mint family, chia originated in Southern Mexico and Guatemala. It became an important crop for the Aztecs over 500 years ago with chia serving as an endurance food, a medicine, an offering in religious ceremonies and as animal feed. Both Aztec and Mayan warriors ate chia seeds for strength and endurance. A small amount provides sustained energy and strength for a day of challenging physical activity. Chia seed is the richest known plant source of alpha linolenic acid (ALA), an omega 3 fat. Omega 3’s are anti-inflammatory, which means they help to reduce arthritis and other pain. ALA helps nourish skin and fur. A significant constituent of brain, omega 3 fat is known to improve mood, intelligence and recall. The soluble fiber of chia seeds helps hydrate the colon while binding with toxins and promoting healthy elimination, a particularly helpful function in dogs who tend to scavenge. The rich black color of chia provides more antioxidants than the famed blueberry, making it particularly helpful at slowing aging, including protecting the eyes and other organs. Chia protein quality is among the highest of plant foods. The teeny seeds are also rich in calcium and other minerals, which are often lacking in today’s foods. The health-boosting properties of chia can be explained in part by its rich nutrient content, but there may as well be some intangible quality behind chia’s vitalizing powers.
