***Updated on 9/2/2023***In April of 2023, we were devastated when one of our pugs (Aubrey) went to Heaven. Unbeknowst to us, she apparently had a back injury (we believe) from jumping off the sofa that ended up deteriorating her spinal cord. She eventually had to be put to rest after she developed a condition called Myelomalacia, and eventually, she could no longer breathe. We loved her SO much!!! She had bloodwork done not long before she passed away, and everything internally was still in excellent working order. She ate this incredibly nutrient-rich dog food and other whole plant foods for almost 13 years! She was in such good health until this travesty happened. We still have her sister Ana with us, who is in very good health. We hope she will live a long time!!!NOTE: You do not have to feed your dog a commercial dog food if you feed our homemade food. Just make sure your dogs are a healthy weight and you are feeding them enough calories. Supplement their meals with some raw fruits, veggies, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, homemade dog biscuits, etc.) And ALWAYS consult with your vet to make sure they understand what kind of diet you plan to feed your dog(s).Here's what we feed our 17 lb, 13 year-old pug daily:6:00 AM: Heaping 1/3 cup of our homemade food (see recipe below) plus 1/6 cup of V-Dog kibble12:00 PM: One small serving of fruit (about 1 T) and some low-cal veggies (like a few pieces of red bell pepper, cucumber, carrots, sugar snap peas, steamed cauliflower, beets, etc.), plus 1 T of homemade unsweetened plain soy yogurt or tofu, as well. 6:00 PM: Heaping 1/3 cup of our homemade food (see recipe below) plus 1/6 cup of V-Dog kibbleRight after dinner: One homemade Peanut Butter Pumpkin Oat Biscuit 7:30 PM: Handful of air-popped popcorn***UPDATED ON 12-5-2021***Homemade Vegan Dog Food - Made in an electric pressure cooker.
