Dr. Becker's Cookbook is the most Scientific and an in depth book I have seen in the 3 months of research into dog cookbooks, to date. This is not so much a recipe book, it is more of a clinical analysis of how much and of what to give and how important which vitamins and minerals are and in what proportions and where to find them. This book is very important because it stresses the fact that your dog will not survive on meat and rice, and that the dog's body, is a complex mechanism that needs specific nutrition to support optimal functioning and vitality. This is the book I go to when I am adding vitamins and bone-meal and DHA, and so on to my dogs food, and what are the sources of some of those nutrients. Sadly, I have not come across a book, yet, which tells me specifically what to feed the dog and which vitamins and minerals to add and how much, and what supplements to work with and when. I will keep everyone updated once that miracle book shows up. |

HOME COOKING FOR OUR DOG, THE SHIH TZU, ATHOSCategories
All
Tatyana, Alexander and AthosWe are proud parents of a baby boy, named Athos, who is our one-and-only fur baby, born June 3, 2009. For one terrible year we suffered with our fur baby's allergy inflammation around the eye and the cheek area. The vets ran tests, and prescribed steroids and benadryl which managed the allergy and inflammation but after a month the issue always returned and we were back at the vets for more pills. Finally, after 8 months of suffering and vet visits the vet prescribed prescription food and for 6 months we saw no allergies. Around August 2015 the inflammation came back and we were devastated. We decided to not pump our pup of pills and to not have him be poked and prodded at the vets, so instead we found a website (Healthypets.mercola.com by Dr. Becker) that convinced us that cooking meals for our baby at home is ideal and comes with many advantages such as increased vitality and stamina, decrease of allergies and other negative health issues, and most important helps prolong life. Good News, within 2 days of feeding home-cooked meals to our shih tzu, all allergy signs are gone and our love bug has more energy and vigor, and we couldn't be happier and will continue to create Home Cooked meals for our baby boy for ever and ever.
