It’s not the dog, it’s you. Someone has to be smarter! Get a trash can with a locking lid on it,or put it where you have to open a door to get to it.

Try feeding her some Nature’s Recipe organic food, your probably feeding her some commercial dog food that she doesn’t like, why don’t you try eating it yourself!

75% – 6 ounces (3/4 cup) coarse-ground or chopped meat, raw or cooked. A variety of meats, poultry and fish (organic is better) should be rotated: Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Turkey, Rabbit, Venison and their organ meats. Salmon (no skin) Sardines, Smelt and other whole fish. Ground meat mixes better with the vegetables. Chopped meat is also excellent.

25% – 2 ounces (1/4 cup) ground, mixed vegetables, raw or cooked. Any and all of the following vegetables can be used. The more veggies you combine in one meal the better. Feed what’s in season.

Most of the people on this site DON’T want to know about facts like you do because I guess to them ignorance is bliss, your concern for your pet is refreashing to see for a change. Tell your Mom I said she has reason to be very proud of you, most kids just don’t care about anything but themselves these days.

I can help you quite abit and get you going in the right direction. We have been home cooking our pet food now for about 3-4 months and within just the first 2 weeks the results were dramatic, and that’s putting it mildly, far more than I ever expected. We fed “premium” pet foods which are also garbage, they all are. My GF just showed me plastic parts in one brand and hair in a brand called Innova. (dog or cat hair?, we have the pics)

We have my Mom doing the home cooking now for 2 abused small dogs she is caring for along with us. They only have been on the home cooked diets for 3 weeks and are doing fantastic now, no more fear now that the one is going to loose his eye site anymore because his eyes are crystal clear again and the injured eye is so much better. (we also medicated his injured eye w/ anti biotic). His bloated body is also quickly returning to normal shape.

The first thing you need to do is check out this site, he’s a vet, PHD, writer, and studied nutrition as well, this mans book is saving our dogs lives no doubt about that and the other 2s.
Http://www.drpitcairn.com , read the nutrition page definiatly.

As far as is it hard to do, no, my girlfriend enjoys making up the food, freezes about a weeks worth and we feed twice a day (once daily feeding causes bloat). The neglected dogs are getting fed 3 times a day as one is very under weight, we worked him up to it gradually. It’s sad, he refused all commercial foods prior and was starving to death, the first night I brought him the real food he goobled it like he’d never eaten before. Now he cries before feeding like to say “don’t forget me”.

Tell your Mom uncooked oatmeal is not expensive.(ingredient in one recipe) Ground turkey or chicken, nutritional yeast, kelp, a few select vitamins , organic eggs, whole organic milk, wheat bread, small amount of garlic, calcium/ phosphous (balanced amounts), a few other minor ingredients, they make a doggy meatloaf,lol and they really love it. The best part, it’s nutritionally balanced, your pet will start getting healthier and less vet bills in the future. There are other meals to make in the book also.

Tell your Mom you can’t SEE liver or kidney damage that is happening in a pet till it’s to late, your dog is way to young to be that lethargic (tired). This book also has natural flea remedies and I’ll give you 2 links about the dangers of Frontline etc…(listed on sources below).

I told my GF, your gonna give them diarreah when you make them their own food before we got the book, what a FOOL I was and addmit that now. I told her get it if you want (she would have anyways,lol), it was the best $$ we ever spent. No diarreah in 4 months, actually they go less, totally normal, and drink less water. Our 11 year old Yorkie is like a puppy again now playing a lot more and much more energetic, he no longer looks old anymore either.

I saw you have an email listed, (if you didn’t I was going to give you mine), tell your Mom if she won’t get you this book, I will, I’m not rich by any means but if she won’t help you save your dog we will. This book will tell you all you need to know about your pet, how to cook for it, dangers to it, conditions and how to treat, etc…

I’ve had to euthanize 2 of my little guys in the past two years over kidney/ liver problems, I have no doubt if we had this book 12 years ago we’d still have them now, it’s something you never want to go thru. Our 3rd died in surgery 3 years ago. Eventuually when you do loose your pet, at least you’ll have peace of mind knowing you tried your absolute best to give it a happy and HEALTHY life. You can tell your Mom we have spent $6,500.00 in the last 3 years on our vet costs, that should make her feel better about buting you this book so you’ll know from reading it how to truly take care of him/her the best you can.

My name on the email that will show up is “Jim D”, like I said, tell your Mom I’ll get you the book if she won’t. If I can help just one more pet not suffer from commercial pet food that will be well worth what it may cost me. Good Luck. You can write me back and I’ll have my GF answer any questions you have, she’s researched 4 months steady now and is up on a lot of what’s really going on.

One more benefit to the book, you’ll be able to educate other people as well about helping their pets, it’s a great feeling to help when someone wants to know the truth about whats really going into pet foods etc… . And no more worries when the recalls of the pet food garbage crop up again, it’s allready starting again w/ one brand.

Edit: I missed the part earlier about the tuna, NO, it’s heavily laden w/ mercury.

Edit: The first post has very good points but the book tells you how much of each etc… Also, as for running that by your vet, most vets do not take nutritional classes and if they do it is usually an IAMS or some other pet food rep. Giving them the info, WRONG info I might add.
