Hugo - When Joy and Mud Meet! 

10/14/2013

On my flight to the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Conference in August, this muddy face broke the ice with the stranger seated next to me and I got to talk about one of my favorite topics: pet nutrition.

You know how you try not to catch the attention of the person next to you? Well, Hugo's dad picked up on the conference agenda I was scanning and ever so politely asked if I could recommend a commercial dry dog food. They'd made their dogs' food for years, but with the new puppy they were concerned and recommendations leaned on more commercials foods.

Why would you give up the control of ingredients, sourcing and controlled production, I ask? Not to mention the love you mix in? Nothing beats a well-balanced home-prepared food. Yep, you can add some kibble from time to time . . . just like we have some fast food on occasion, but really, wouldn't you want to offer the very best to this joy-filled face?

Pouring a bag of kibble is easy, creating nourishment is a joyful experience for you and your companion. For help getting started, check out our Cultivare section for recipes, tips and techniques.

Hugo is adorable - and I'm glad for him that you ran into his dad so you could share your wisdom! That's a beautiful description of what "creating nourishment" is all about - much more satisfying than filling up bowl of kibble.
