My husband and I are eating better than we were 10 years ago so it’s no surprise I’d be interested in what the Resident Corgi puts into his digestive system.\u00c2\u00a0 He ate Science Diet at the humane society.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s what the\u00c2\u00a0original Resident Corgi ate but I wasn’t entirely happy with it.\u00c2\u00a0 So I began searching for something else for the new Corgi.\u00c2\u00a0 After Science Diet I fed him one of the Nutro foods and kept finding expired food at the store.\u00c2\u00a0 It was discovered a diet high in corn meal or corn gave him dandruff.\u00c2\u00a0 Back to the drawing board…<\/p>\n

This book is a quick read that explains how to make or pick a nutritious food for your dog.\u00c2\u00a0 It would have been a welcome addition when I was doing my research on what to get the Resident Corgi and now it just confirms I was on the right track.\u00c2\u00a0 We have an organic dog bakery in town that carries dog food but\u00c2\u00a0 it isn’t convenient to get to with regularity.\u00c2\u00a0 Our neighborhood store (it has three locations in the city) offers raw food and none of the mass market food brands like Pedigree or Science Diet.<\/p>\n

The Resident Corgi is allowed to have “junk food” as snacks\u00c2\u00a0once in a while but his food and a majority of his treats are all organic.\u00c2\u00a0 To be honest, his diet is better than ours!<\/p>\n

Poveromo is not a dietitian and doesn’t claim to be an expert in animal nutrition.\u00c2\u00a0 He writes from his own experiences and some of it is common sense.\u00c2\u00a0 For example, when switching from one food to another, do it gradually; it’s less likely to upset your canine’s tummy.\u00c2\u00a0 No food is 100% perfect and it’s okay to provide supplements to boost the immune system.\u00c2\u00a0 Isn’t that why we take multi-vitamins ourselves?\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I probably won’t use any of the recipes in the book – I don’t even cook for two people every day of the week.\u00c2\u00a0 And they’d probably be more helpful if they were scaled down to what to feed 10lb dogs.\u00c2\u00a0 Then each ingredient could be multiplied to the weight of the dog.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m not good at math but I’d likely make the recipe for a 70lb dog and divide it up for 2 weeks (the Resident Corgi is about 30lbs).\u00c2\u00a0 I have been known to make dog treats from time to time and this book will allow me to give the ingredients a more critical eye.<\/p>\n

What’s nice is Poveromo doesn’t recommend or push any one specific brand in his book.\u00c2\u00a0 It truly gives the reader informaiton to think about and consider when choosing to make their dog’s food or buying a processed food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
