In many ways, I am using the Urinary SO as one would use a "Bal...
Before discussing Cosmo's diet, let me say that he is doing well. He turned 11 in November 2019 and as of August had no more bladder stones. His hyperlipidemia seems to be under control and the soft stool problem he had for most of 2018 has also abated through the use of daily doses of Tylosin and M...
As mentioned in previous posts, Cosmo requires a special diet due to his propensity to form calcium oxalate bladder stones. In addition, he developed hyperlipidemia last year which necessitated a low-fat diet. We started his low-oxalate, low-fat diet early in 2018 and two ingredients which were...

7 REASONS TO MAKE HOMEMADE PET FOOD

So why is homemade pet food better than commercially-prepared cat and dog food? Here are just a few reasons:

7 Reasons to make your own Homemade Pet Food

Can you think of any other reasons?

  • More complete

  • Better balanced

  • Targeted nutrition

  • Human-grade ingredients

  • Money savings

  • Peace of mind

  • Feed variety

More Complete

Create recipes that are more complete than commercial pet food. PDD uses the gold standard (NRC), which defines requirements for more nutrients than commercial standards, like AAFCO or FEDIAF. This means your pet is getting these extra nutrients that are critical for optimal health.

Better Balanced

Complete nutrition means that your pets are getting all the nutrients that they need. All nutrients must be in the correct amounts and in the correct ratios to be optimal. Pet Diet Designer does this so easily. Now anyone can create homemade pet food that is better balanced than any commercial pet food.

Targeted Nutrition

Prepare meals that are tailor-made exactly for only YOUR pet. Imagine creating meals that are scientifically balanced and optimized for your cat or dog. Personalized nutrition is far superior to anything that you can buy in a store.

Human-Grade Ingredients

Choose the best ingredients that you can provide. Use human-grade ingredients that you know are free from harmful chemicals and pesticide residues.

Money Savings

Buy food in bulk (or on sale) and prepare meals that are better, and less expensive than premium pet food. And the savings don't stop there!

Peace of Mind

Stop worrying about pet food recalls. Say goodbye to the questionable ingredients that are so common in commercial pet food.

FEED A VARIETY OF FOODS AND TREATS

With Pet Diet Designer you are not limited to feeding the same food over and over, ad nauseam. This is a limitation of commercial pet food. You can feed a variety of foods over many days (the same way people eat) and still have your meals complete and balanced over time. Include treats too!
