While I enjoy feasting on a gourmet meal as much as anyone, my days aren't just brimming with the extra minutes necessary to prepare such a dinner. For many of us with our fast-paced lifestyle, having time to microwave a meal may be difficult as well. So, the thought of preparing a meal for your pet maybe seem down right impossible.
However, as Dr. Martin Goldstein will tell you as he so aptly does in his book The Nature of Animal Healing, when you discover what's really in many processed pet foods, you will make time to ensure that your pet stays healthy as well as happy with some simple and delicious meals. It's not all cooking, but it's plain to see that Dr. Goldstein thinks the best way to truly care for your pet is through healthy organic food.
Here are a few suggestions he gives in the chapter "It All Starts with Food":
I feed my pets a wide variety of raw vegetables, which contain important enzymes lost during the cooking process. These range from alfalfa sprouts to zucchini, and include asparagus, carrots, and even lettuce (though tomatoes aren't usually a hit). I feed them fruits, too, including grapes, peaches, plums, and bananas. I once had a cat named Sparsely Populated who loved cantaloupe and had an absolutely uncanny affinity for it. I have a house with a long from lawn, and Sparsely would be in the woods at the end of it.
