  1. That’s a favorite meal for our breeding pair of champion lhasa apsos. We feed them nothing but homemade food that is healthy with ingredients to improve their show score and we spare no expense for natural supplements. Even the best champion line is only as good as the care and training each dog receives.

  5. Concentrating on digestion reduced the smell of our dog a lot. His breath is much easier to take now too.

  6. I love making your recipes because they always have that something extra to make our dogs more healthy and we thank you.

  7. I’m almost out of clay so I’ll be in touch next week. It’s made a true difference for my old friend and I’m sure he;ll like this meatloaf.

  8. I’m going to try the meatloaf with a little cottage cheese…maybe today if we get back in time.
