overall health
If you’ve ever watched your pet look at you with those big, hopeful eyes as you’re cooking, you know they’d love to have a taste of whatever smells so good. While table scraps and human food aren’t the best for our fur kiddos, more and more pet parents have started making home cooked pet food as a way to make pets happier and healthier. Here are just a few of the benefits of going home cooked:
1. You Know Exactly What’s Going In
Transparency and peace of mind are a top priority for pet parents these days
Transparency and peace of mind are a top priority for pet parents these days. When you cook at home, you have complete control over what goes in – and what stays out of – your pet’s meals.
When you choose a commercial pet food, it isn’t always obvious where the ingredients come from, or what quality they are. Some foods contain artificial additives and flavors, and pet parents often prefer natural, wholesome ingredients for their fur babies. For some pet parents, this means taking the time to hand-select natural and organic ingredients of human-grade quality at their local grocery store.
2. Home Cooked Pet Food Can Be Healthier
Sometimes it’s not what’s in a commercial pet food that is concerning; it’s what’s missing from it.
Many commercial pet foods are cooked at extremely temperatures. Extremely high temperatures achieved in commercial pet food kitchens can damage delicate organic compounds that help keep the body healthy, like certain vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients.
Additionally, many commercial pet foods take a “one size fits all” approach when it comes to nutrition. Seniors, different breeds, sizes, and pets with health conditions – they all have different needs.
Therefore, the biggest benefit of cooking pet food at home is the ability to tailor it exactly to your pet’s requirements. Whether they’ve got allergies, sensitivities, or health conditions, tailor-made home cooked pet food can make a big difference for their health and comfort.
3. It’s Better for the Environment, Too
Home cooked pet food gives you the opportunity to reduce packaging waste since many pet foods come in non-recyclable containers. By choosing green options from your local grocery store, you can reduce your carbon footprint (or pawprint).
Furthermore, it allows you to support local suppliers. Sourcing locally available ingredients such as fresh vegetables and meats reduces the carbon footprint associated with shipping and supports sustainable farming practices.
4. Showing Your Love
The way to any pet’s heart is through their stomach. The universal love language of all pets is definitely food. Think of how your fur kiddo comes running when it’s dinner time!
Your pet may also have particular tastes, and adjusting to their preferences can help them enjoy mealtime
Your pet may also have particular tastes, and adjusting to their preferences can help them enjoy mealtime each and every time. Got a pup that loves blueberries? Learn how to incorporate them in safe amounts for added health benefits! Want to know if your pet prefers beef or lamb? Get creative and offer them variety! Just do so under the guidance of an expert who can ensure your pet eats a nutritionally complete and wellness-promoting meal.
Get Vet-Written Home Cooked Pet Food Recipes
Before getting into home cooking, be sure to consult a vet or pet nutritionist. Pets have specific dietary needs that are different from humans and even other pets. The protein, fat, carbohydrate, mineral and vitamin requirements differ from not only between species of pets, but between individual pets! Size, age, special needs and health conditions all influence their needs – and these requirements needs expert guidance.
Thankfully, starting your home cooked pet food journey doesn’t have to be done alone. We offer personalized meal plans written by an expert vet who has extensive knowledge of both pet nutrition and how pet health conditions can influence their needs.

When is a cat a senior? Is 13 old for a cat?
A cat is technically considered a senior at 7-9 years old. While a 13 year old cat is technically a senior, cats have been known to live past 20 years. Age is not a disease! Maintain your kitty's optimal health and she can live for many more happy years.
How can I help my senior cat?
Maintaining optimal health through kidney support, nutritional support, and a healthy balanced diet can help keep your cat healthy into their senior years. We recommend at least annual vet visits for cats over 9 years old.
What are the signs of an aging dog?
Some changes that might be seen with aging include weight gain, lowered energy, stiff joints, foggy eyes (nuclear sclerosis) and weakened hearing. Antioxidant support can help to slow the progression of these aging changes.
When is a good time for me to start my pet on supplements to help them as they age?
It's never too early to start preventive supplements! If you have a breed which may be prone to a specific condition, supplementation can be started at any time. It's better to not wait for problems to be severe before supporting them.

- Supports skin and coat condition
- Supports the immune system
- Joint support and comfort
- Eye health support
- Renal and kidney support
Our omega 3 fish oil for dogs is a great source of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid 600mg) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid 460mg) essential fatty acids. This fish oil supplement for dogs is derived from sardines, anchovies and North Atlantic cod liver oil. It is molecularly distilled and cold pressed to improve the bioavailability of the omega 3 fatty acids, and is medical and human grade quality.
Omega 3 fish oil for dogs may be beneficial for the following:
- Support skin and coat condition
- Support the immune system
- Joint support and comfort
- Eye health support
- Renal and kidney support
- Promotes healthy heart function
- Recommended by vets for cancer support
- Supports healthy cell growth
Processed pet foods have increased omega-6 fatty acids, and decreased omega-3 fatty acids. The University of Maryland Medical Center states, "It is very important to maintain a balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet. A proper balance helps maintain and even improve health." Your dog’s body cannot easily make essential fatty acids. It is vital to provide omega 3 fish oil for dogs as an added supplement to your pet’s daily diet.
The American Journal of Veterinary Medicine has published studies on the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids (fish oils) for arthritis and degenerative joint disease in dogs. The studies showed that dogs who were given omega 3 fatty acids had a significantly improved ability to get up from a resting position and marked improvement in walking ability.
