Would you eat the same food every day for your entire life?

This is an important question to ask. Would you eat the same food everyday for your entire life?

What would your reaction be if you walked into the grocery store and the shelves were lined with boxes of food labeled infant food, toddler food, pre-teen food, teenager food, pre-adult food, adult food, active adult food, mature food, and those were your only choices? But, the labels claim to provide a complete and balanced diet. How can that be when we are all individuals with different nutritional requirements.

When you have a dog with numerous allergies both environmental and food and begin reading labels and researching dog food companies trying to find one that hasn't been part of the 2007 recall it becomes a struggle to find a food that meets all the requirements you are looking for.

This is where the simple art of cooking and baking come in. We do it everyday for ourselves and our families so why not plan those meals with the four legged family members in mind too.

Kibble only came onto the scene in the early 1900's even though it was first created in the mid-1800's. That means dogs ate "human food" which I find an interesting term..."human food" since humans are not the only beings that consume meat, fruits and and vegetables.

I would have to say that feeding live food is much healthier than feeding a dry dehydrated kibble that has been chocked full of artificial ingredients. I wouldn't want to eat a dry kibble and after watching our dogs eat "human food" vs dog food the winner paws down is "human food".

The whole family (dogs are family) are eating much healthier. Meats, fruits, vegetables and some grains.
