Actually, these days there seem to be products available to make home-made diet balancing easy. We use Hilary's blend. It's a mineral and vitamin supplement calculate to specifically balance home-made food. It also comes with a recipe book. Also one…
A couple of dog treat recipes:
I take organic chicken breasts, cut them in bite size pieces and put them into my food dehydrator. This is the biggest portion of what my dogs get for treats. It's simple, and very cost effective when you have three b…
This bothers me more about vets...
My cousin in a teaching vet at one of the big Vet Schools, and he has told me they don't get any practical education on nutrition. The most they may receive is a seminar put on by, you guessed it, Science Diet or…
Hello to all! I am mom of three kids, two dogs and six cats. My family means everything to me and proper nutrition for our animal babies is just as important as for our kids.
I am in the pet nutrition business and unfortunately everything that Mike…

Gail Venegas is now a member of Outraged Pet Owners
The only way we can pull this off is to join together as one large voice and take our concerns to the mainstream media... CNN loves using Twitter and other social networks to communicate, and once we are 100,000 strong there will be NO problem getting a platform.
If you don't understand this problem watch the videos below to see what is being put into your cat and dog food.
This is so sick
This next one gives you a taste of what all goes into the rendering process when making pet food. Thank God that video did not show any companion animals going through the crusher, but what do you think happened to all the dogs and cats from the first video? Did you see them remove the hides off any of those animals? How about gutting them… where you think all that hair ends up? You think all those animals died of old age or do you think some might died from diseases like cancer?
What you didn’t see are the millions of maggots and rats that get processed along with the animals.
I haven’t even talked about the plastic bags, Pesticides, insecticides from flea collars, antibiotics and euthanasia drugs given to pets all regularly introduced into the process. If you want more detailed information on what all finds its way into the dog food (and cat) process take a look at this site Healthy Dogs Project
How Do We Stop This?
1- We need to come together and use this social network to form one voice, so click on the sign-up link and join Outraged Pet Owners now.
2- Upload a picture of your pet as the new member photo and update your "My Page" information... I'll explain why later.
3- Be an active member by taking part in the forum, blogs and finding and uploading video and pictures of rendering operations and or any other pet food related info.
4- Spread the word to every pet owner you know and have them join us.
Plan of Action
1- Once we reach a membership of 100,000 outraged pet owners we will open up the flood gates and hit CNN first.
2- By then we will have the names and mailing addresses of every CEO of every major Pet Food Manufacturer that uses ingredients that are killing our pets. We will print off a copy of everyone's "My Page" and send it to them with a letter from Outraged Pet Owners.
3- We will continue to grow and continue to put the pressure on and as a group we will decide together our continued plan of action.
Why am I doing This?
For me it all started one day not to long ago when one of my dogs (Copper) started to have seizures. I had never seen Dog Seizures before and it scared me to death, so I started to research what to do about it. You can Click Here to read about Copper's Dog Seizures.
The bottom line was my research led me to the sickening, dark secrets of the pet food manufacturing business. The more I read the madder I got... I have heard stories before, but never took the time to see how bad it really was.
Now that I know I can't sleep at night and all I think about is how to stop these people from killing our pets. I have had too many dogs that have died before their time and now I know why.
These people have never held a yellow lab in their arms why the vet gives her a shot that takes her away forever, because nothing else can be done for her cancer. They don't know what it's like to dig a grave in the back yard why tears blind you, and the feeling in the pit of your stomach is the feeling of a lost loved one.
We must stop this now so please join Outraged Pet Owners Now.
I have been thinking about the way that pets are used to help those having surgery. When my son had a procedure last year, they used a dog to help calm him down so they could start the IV. I think it is great how animals are used in this way. To see a child who is scared to death because he is having an Angioplasty crack a smile is worth its weight in gold.
Use more animals in this way!

We are considering taking our cockapoo to Europe. She has a number of health problems and we were wondering what sort of medical care would be available there. We also received a Atlas travel insurance quote in case something happened in transit. Do you know what a fair price might be for a two week trip?

If you have followed my blog or read my articles, you know I mostly write about dog food, but I would like to spend some time on all the other challenges you run into while raising your dog.
There isn’t a day that goes by that some dog owner wishes they had an answer to simple questions like how to get their dog to sit, or how to prepare their dog for a trip. I know because of my dog’s health problems I wanted to know if there was a more natural way of protecting him from ticks and fleas withou… Continue
Many pet owners are looking for the best dog food brands, because of the tie between food and health.If you know what you’re doing you can find the best brand of dog food by reading the labels.
It would be simple if that was true, but unless you can decipher the code used by the pet food industry, I’m afraid you’re going to fail.
There are many people telling us healthy food to eat, but it’s a lot more difficult to find good information… Continue
It is important to understand that the lack of good nutrition in your pet’s diet is the cause of 90% of their health issues. That is why I stared to do research on dog food, when my Beagle started to have seizures, and that is why he is now on a homemade dog food diet.
Have you ever noticed how many pets are now dying from diseases that we humans have been fighting for ages?. Vet clinics are opening all over, and even in small towns business is booming. If you really take the time to think about… Continue
