Questions
Are the recipes complete and balanced?
No, and we say so clearly. Like most home recipes, they need a balancing supplement matched to the recipe. The guide explains how to get that from a board-certified veterinary nutritionist or a balancing service run by one.
Is it suitable for puppies or dogs with health conditions?
Not without your vet. Puppies and dogs with medical conditions need a diet formulated for them by a veterinary professional.
How do I get it?
Right after checkout you get a download link on the order confirmation page and in your order email. If you created an account, it is also under My Account, Downloads. Nothing is shipped.
Can I print it?
Yes. It is designed for US Letter paper and prints well in color or black and white. It also reads well on a phone or tablet.
Is this veterinary advice?
No. It is practical education and organization, written to match guidance from sources like the ASPCA, AKC and Merck Veterinary Manual. Your vet is always the right person for diagnosis and treatment.
