Pet food provides these giant multinational corporations a very convenient and very profitable "built-in" market for wastes left over from their human food production. One of my television songs, A Squash and a Squeeze, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler. It was great to hold the book in my hand without it vanishing in the air the way the songs did. This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Dogs often get rather forgotten about over the Christmas period,” she says. “The thing they’d like most of all is a lovely walk with all their friends.” Simply because most pet owners – obviously with the best intentions at heart – do a poor job of preparing a well balanced, species-specific diet for their dog or cat. With Big Business' marketing machine, it has become increasingly difficult to determine what's in that bag or can of pet food.
Protein is an important part of every cell. Essential amino acids from quality protein build healthy cells, organs, muscle tissue, enzymes, and hormones. Today's commercial pet food is a far cry from your dog's or cat's ancestral diet – the diet their species has thrived upon for thousands of years. My real breakthrough was THE GRUFFALO, again illustrated by Axel. We work separately - he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow - but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes. Protein is especially critical for puppies and kittens for growth and for mature animals for maintenance and repair.This book is an easy read for everyone who wishes to cook their cat some excellent homemade meals now and then, without wanting to turn them entirely to homemade food. There’s a recipe for almost every cat, with a collection of 25 easy recipes and tasty raw treats. We’ve looked at quite a few cookbooks for making homemade cat food to spoil your furry friend! It’s no secret that many cats (and dogs) would probably love a homemade meal now and then- especially if their favorite person makes it.
When you see on the label of your pet's food "formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO nutrient profiles", you know the manufacturer used these profiles to formulate their products. What I have seen firsthand in my practice and what I continue to observe in conversing with my readers has motivated me to take action. Carnivores, as opposed to herbivores (such as cows), have relatively short, simple gastrointestinal tracts. The book is written by a veterinarian and a pet food safety advocate. They have completed proper calculations throughout the book to ensure that your cat or dog is getting the nutrients it needs. However, all recipes are grain-free. Grain-free food, even if homemade, has been associated with heart diseases, especially in dogs, which is something to keep in mind before hitting the kitchen.If you are a feline fanatic, like the author of this book, who wants to spoil your cat with twenty different recipes for some healthy, and inexpensive meals, this cookbook is an excellent match for you. It includes: It might be the nerds in us, but both books cover precisely what cats need (and don’t need) with lots of excellent suggestions and recipes throughout them. The second one is perhaps a tad bit more complex, but it covers cat nutrition very nicely- with the first one possibly being a bit more for everyone. As well as recipes for dishes for special occasions. Many of these are possible to make in batches! The book even contains some home-craft projects, like making a fishing-pole toy, a scratching post, and a cardboard cat playhouse. Even a few tips on how to train your cat! The author, Rachel Rayner, is not a veterinarian, nor does the book mention a lot of research into the nutritional balance of the recipes. Therefore, it should primarily be considered a pleasant and tasty supplementing meal to spoil your cat now and then.
Of course you care about what you feed your pet. After all, she or he is an important – and loving – member of your family, right? Julia Donaldson is the author of some of the world's best-loved children's books, including modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, which together have sold over 17 million copies worldwide, and the hugely successful What the Ladybird Heard adventures. Julia also writes fiction, including the Princess Mirror-Belle books illustrated by Lydia Monks, as well as poems, plays and songs - and her brilliant live shows are always in demand. She was Children's Laureate 2011-13 and has been honoured with a CBE for Services to Literature. Julia and her husband Malcolm divide their time between West Sussex and Edinburgh. This cookbook is not only for your cat; your dog can also enjoy some homemade food made with love! This book contains information on making fresh, balanced meals at home, with up to 75 recipes that should keep both your dog and cat happy. Even if you decide that cooking for your cat isn’t for you, this book will give you a great insight into cat nutrition nonetheless. Overall, this book with homemade cat food recipes is a great place to begin. The recipes in the book mostly contain few ingredients, and the recipes are easy to prepare for most cat owners. The book also nicely covers the basics of cat nutrition, which is very important. So it’s worth putting a little thought into giving your pet a gift they will truly appreciate. “There’s so much waste surrounding pet gifts,” says vet Alicia Fox-Pitt, “but you can try to reduce your pet’s paw print by choosing something sustainable.”The cookbook is written by a veterinarian and a pet food advocate, which is positive and means professionals wrote it. However, the book contains quite limited information on the general cat (and dog) health and nutrients needed, which is a little disappointing when you consider the authors. Are you looking for a cookbook that is so much more than just that? Then this is the one for you. The book contains some recipes, but also:
