Holiday Dinners Make Perfect Pet Fare

Let your pets “live it up” with the rest of your family with wholesome holiday dinners! In the right proportions, your human holiday feast can be the perfect meal for your furry friends too! Sharing is truly caring, when it comes to real food.

We can start with a few slices of traditional holiday turkey, a spoonful of simple green bean casserole (or other vegetable choice), and a dollop of sweet potatoes.  Sweet potatoes are extremely nutritious and don’t clog the digestive tract like regular potatoes. They’re wonderfully flavorful, full of vitamin A, calcium, iron and other important minerals. Sweet potatoes also strengthen the spleen and pancreas and help the body release toxins.

While the components of the foods you choose can be somewhat interchangeable, please never feed pork to any dog or cat; it’s more difficult to digest than fowl. Follow the rules of thumb for feeding with the following guidelines for balanced ingredient proportions. Keep your meals (for your pets) free of spices, using only simple ingredients and try not to overfeed, even though they’re going to love it a lot! Remember to Love AND Feed Your Pets With Wisdom!

  • Ingredient               Dog Portion                      Cat Portion
  • Meat (turkey, chicken)         40%                                         65%
    Vegetables                         55%                                         35%
    Yummy Stuffing                    5%                                        None
     

    Helpful Hints:The best vegetables for your pets are alkaline and won’t give them gas or upset the tummy. Use squash, zucchini, celery, green beans, carrots, but avoid broccoli, cauliflower and corn (which is hard to digest)!

    Please avoid the cranberry sauce too. It’s loaded with sugar, which can upset their digestive system and cause loose stool! (This won’t be fun for anyone later on).

    Of course you’ll NEVER feed chocolate or alcohol to any dog or cat. (These can be toxic and cause fatal reactions)

    For Cats: Skip the grains entirely. Grains tend to make their bodies alkaline and holistic veterinarians recognize that grains can lead to urinary tract, diabetes, and kidney problems. By mashing your cat’s meal with a fork, (or puree it altogether) – you’ll ensure they’ll eat all their veggies which help them to process the meat protein purrrrfectly!

    1. Thanks for the suggestions. Guess cheese is out? It is in the canned cat food that I give them each night. I small can of Friskies for 4 cats. Albeit the stray, Fluffy, eats the lion’s share LOL

      1. Sorry, for the moment.. there’s not a commercial pet food on the market that’s good enough for my pets. Sadly, the key to great health is with a homemade diet. Some of the foods might taste good to them, but they are likely filled with all kinds of artificial flavor enhancers and sugars and salt. Food is the foundation of life. Real, wholesome and healthy fresh foods do wonders for the body! Hugs to Fluffy! xox

    2. I will be adopting 2 English Bulldogs in the next 2 weeks that will be 10 weeks of age. Is the diet appropriate for puppies or does it need to be adjusted at different ages? I recently lost my 6 year old bullie, Ginger, with suspected treat poisoning from treats from China. It goes without saying I want to be very careful what passes my new babies lips!

      1. My heart goes out to you Jill… So sad to hear about your baby Ginger! It’s so important to understand what goes into our pets’ bodies and I’m glad you wrote me. This is a WONDERFUL diet for your new bullies, and/but I suggest that you follow the complete plan in my book. You’ll want to make sure that they get EVERYTHING that they need to stay healthy and spectacular throughout their lives. Don’t forget to sign up for my newsleter RIGHT AWAY! I HAVE VERY EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE THIS MONTH! STAY TUNED…. XOXOXOX

    3. I’ve been reading quite a few articles on the Internet that say not to feed your dog garlic. My JRT, Patootie, loves her homemade Spot’s Stew which includes garlic. We would love to know your thoughts. Thank you.

      1. Hi… All the holistic vets that I know – use and love and recommend garlic in moderate proportions. I understand that in order for it to be harmful for a dog, they would have to eat something like 75 cloves in a day! I really love what it does, but if you are uncomfortable in any way… just don’t use it! Make sure you sign up for my newsletter and big hugs to Patootie! xoxo

    4. My dog has chronic pancreatitis. I’m not happy with prescription diet food. Any suggestions for a low fat diet that I can prepare?

      1. Hi Linda,
        My book has wonderful recipes and step-by-step instructions on how to have the healthiest dog on the planet. My stews are all perfect for the pancreas and they will help to prevent diabetes, which could be a problem if you don’t correct the diet now. I hope that you make some changes. You can set your sweet pup on the road to glowing, great health! xoxo

    5. i have a 10 month old female toy poodle,i was wondering what is the best pet food to feed her,as she is very picky over her food.she can go hungry for one whole day without eating.please help!

    6. Bought your cookbook about 2 months ago and have used it for our baby’s meals. Keira, our Cairn terrier loves the meals. Gobbles them down with much pleasure.
      Have a question, am I to use th skin of the chicken and the cartlage in Spot’s stew?
      Thanks again for the wonderful help.

      1. Hi Judy, Thanks for your kind words. I’m so happy that your babies are enjoying it all. Yes, do use the skin and the “whole” chicken. That’s what “Wholistic” is all about! xox
