Does anyone have any recommendations on books or websites with the best pet recipe plans that works well for them? I have been to a few sites already and was curious if anyone on here had any helpful advice? I was going to buy this book

http://www.amazon.com/Food-Pets-Die-Shocki...9260119-6899954

but one of the reviews said that this book was "Good Info on Commercial Pet Food - Bad Info on Homemade Diet" Any recommendations?

We have two precious furkids (Ms. Lucy wub.gif & Mr. Yoster wub.gif ). Ms. Lucy is an insulin dependent diabetic, hyperthyroid & asthmatic.

I'm following Dr. Elizabeth Hodgkin's protocol to the best of my ability. I urge you to check out her site whether or not your kids are diabetic.

Lucy has been a diabetic since October, 2004.
Her insulin requirements were 5 - 6 units per day (when she was on DRY FOOD & canned), and now she is down to 1 - 1.2 units per day! biggrin.gif

Now that shows what taking away that awful dry food can do & switching over to a wholesome, nutritionally complete raw diet can do! I wish I had known about the benefits of "getting rid of dry food" earlier, but......better late than never!

Also, you might want to look into Dr. Lisa Pierson's site. She has a great recipe for raw food which she feeds her cats. (I am looking into purchasing a grinder - something that will grind up bones, so that we can make our own raw food smile.gif ).

We changed our kids to a raw diet (as of 2/20 this year), and order our food from

Unfortunately, Mr. Yoster hasn't developed a taste for raw yet.....but, we're still working on him tongue.gif .

Peace & Love to you all,

Denise
