Are you already a Home Cooker? Make sure your recipe is balanced!
How to know you recipe isn’t balanced: Does your diet have red meat, white meat, seafood, eggs, organ meat like liver and heart, bone meal or egg shell, kelp, vitamin E, with a variety of colorful veggies, ground seeds or herbs? Or does your recipe have a home cooking balancing supplement rather than just a multi-vitamin? If you answer no to any of those questions your recipe will need to be balanced. Click here to have me review your pet’s diet. Or you can move forward with scheduling a home cooking consultation for your pet.

Puppy Diet Plans
Many clients wonder why the puppy home cooking package is more expensive than the adult/senior option. This is because a puppy’s diet is much more complex than an adult/senior’s diet due to their specific growth needs. Also, with puppies, the best way to balance a diet for them is with certain percentages of muscle meat, organ meat, bone meal and specific fats for cellular, organ and joint growth.
Recommended Puppy Check ins-Growth Schedule
In your home cooking guide I include a growth chart with recommended check ins with me based on your dog’s weight and age. This allows for me to keep the diet balanced during the entire phase of puppy development! Please note that puppy diet adjustments are $45 dollars per adjustment.
Beginner Home Cooking (adult/senior) - With this service my goal is to give pet owners the tools needed to start successfully home cooking for their pet. Diets will be made up of rotated protein sources, healthy fats, veggies and/or fruit options. To keep this diet balanced, I will include recommend home cooking supplements that keeps the process simple. Once a client has moved their pet over to this diet and they feel confident with the home cooking process, they have the choice to work with me to balance the base recipe with all food based ingredients while removing the balancing supplements. A pet owner can also stick with this home cooking process for the life of their pet.
Advanced Home Cooking (adult/senior)- With this service I will create a fully balanced home cooked recipe using 98% food based ingredients, including organ meat and bone meal. Based on your request, I can create a raw or gently cooked version. This meal plan can be more affordable for many pet owners (especially large breed dogs) as long as you can acquire the ingredients. Many of my clients will start with the basic plan (get their feet wet) and then work with me to move their pet into this type of home cooking process!
Home Cooking for Disease Management- Many clients come to me to create a recipe to give a pet with a newly diagnosed veterinarian disease. I love creating these type of diets in order to offer pet owners an alternative to the highly processed prescription diets. By home cooking, pet owners can lower disease causing inflammation while also reducing the high costs of a prescription diet! Some pet owners also report ingredient/sourcing/manufacturing concerns, distributing issues and even problems with low palatability, due to their pet refusing to eat the food.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please email me your pet’s veterinarian records with their diagnosis so that I can create a recipe accordingly!
