National Cook for Your Pets Day

November 1 is National Cook for Your Pets Day, give your pet a break from the usual kibbles and treat them to a lovely homecooked meal. They won’t judge your culinary skills, so give it a go! The national day was created by cookforyourpets.com to get owners to pay more attention to their pet’s nutrition. Did you know that commercial dog foods are prepared using processing methods which destroy nutrients in the ingredients? This means your pet may not be getting the healthy nutrients they need. You may be thinking this will take up a lot of time, which isn’t true there are recipes that take less than 20 minutes.

Before you cook

Consult with your vet and get an understanding of what your pet’s nutrition needs are. Also do your own research online and look at any recipes you could make.
