  1. The Human-Animal Connection 88 Getting Started with Homemade Dog Food Pet Life Radio 33:05

There are so many dogs whose lives have turned around for the better when their person began making homemade dog food. Certified Pet Food Nutritionist and Registered Dietitian Dani Dominguez has been seen on Oprah Daily, Martha Stewart, and other national media. She talks about how she turned her dog’s life around for the better, simply by making simple homemade meals. Like everyone else, she began with commercial kibble but soon saw that her dog was not thriving. She learned evidence-based nutrition principles and began the journey to homemade cooking, and she never looked back. Her dog’s digestion, elimination, and skin coat immediately began to improve. And Dani realized she could help others experience wellness through nutritious homemade meals. You can start simply, start small, start slowly. Just begin… you’ll be glad you switched to homemade.
