We have been getting a lot of inquiries lately regarding the best way to feed our product. I thought I would take a moment to discuss the different options you have with Natasha’s Food for Paws.
This recipe was originally designed because their was nothing on the market that was similar to the quality meals that dogs benefit from when their owners cook for their pet. Although many people, beyond the home-cookers have come to use our product too. Our food can be used as the sole basis of your pet’s diet or it can also be mixed in with a high-quality kibble. It can also be used as a special treat a few times a week. I am of the opinion that as long as our animals are getting some food in their diet on a fairly regular basis, then we are doing a lot better than we have in a long time.
There are many wonderful kibble on the market today and it makes me so happy to see a variety so that we actually have a choice of some really good diets. Although nothing will ever take the place of real, unprocessed food. Imagine if we lived on a cereal based diet? I bet we wouldn’t feel so great on a day to day basis!!

Woof, Wags and Wiggles!

Our meals often don’t get finished and the leftovers that we don’t consume are sometimes given to our pet(s). Some people don’t give them because they don’t want their dogs to become beggars and I completely understand. Although some don’t offer their beloved pets’ these table scraps because they believe that it is not good for them. This can be true if the food is toxic to the dog or if it is an unhealthy food; for example, a food high in fat or sodium. I find this sad because it seems we have forgotten that what is in the kibble (commercialized dry dog food) we have been feeding our pet’s for the past sixty years is often the food that we have on our dinner plates every night; it’s chicken, beef, rice, vegetables, eggs, etc…
So, why do we hear that it’s bad for our pet’s then? Is it something we have just become to believe out of habit or familiarity? Is it something that has been delibirately told to us so that we continue to purchase kibble? I don’t know the answer, I truly believe it’s multiple factors at play. But what I do know is that the less processed a food is, the better it is for any living being. The closer we can get to nourishing our bodies with whole foods, the closer we get to actually nourishing our bodies. I think it’s very important that we don’t loose sight of that when we are choosing a food for ourselves or our pet’s.
