I’m adding pinto beans and macaroni and eggs to my dog’s homemade food and they love it - also put in chicken and use olive oil - wish I could buy safflower oil in bulk but so far can only find smaller bottles of it.

Kat and Peg,

Your simple recipe for cat food is the only one my cat will eat — so far. Many thanks for Peg’s website, posted above.

We keep hearing about the drought in the southeast and in the west, but this short article is a must read to describe the devastation that is occurring. I include it here because so many have written how they wish to buy food for their families and themselves that is “grown American.”

To me, this is key to other policy and regulatory decisions and legislation that we must support. These begin with COOL labeling regulations and effective FDA and USDA testing and standards. It appears impossible that the majority of us will be able to buy American — let alone American organic — produce, meats, and poultry.

Here’s the NY Times article. Note that you have to register first (it’s free), create a user name and password, then log in:

I cannot help but wonder if phenobarbital addiction is why it is so hard to switch my cats off pet foods with byproducts?
Is there some flavor enhancer that is used that can be purchased as an additive to help transition them over to organics? The other problem is that organics are not consistent. Some are soupy and some are firmer.. and that means the soupy gets “covered up” by my cats. They’ll smell the firmer and then draw back like they inhaled something bad.. sigh. If given the choice of organic with no green stuff and organic without, they’ll lick the no green and then cover it up… the one with green is a lost cause no matter which brand.

Any purchase of pet food from a company that is a member of the the PFI is aiding and supporting the poisoners.
Every dime paid to a member of PFI means that they have your permission to continue the lies and the poison.
NO pet food company can be trusted.
