The Doggy Dish!

A while back, I received an email from a dog owner whose dog had been helped tremendously by feeding fresh food. That’s nothing new — in fact, it happens several times a week. And it makes me so happy to see owners all over the world discovering better ways to nourish their pets, and seeing the difference leaving kibble and ultraprocessed foods behind can make.

But this email was not like all the others. Laura wanted to help others who were making a change in their dog’s life, and she wanted to make it easier, more accessible, and most importantly to me, backed by the knowledge of veterinarians and other experts in our fresh food feeding community. When she invited me to join her veterinary advisor board, it was a no-brainer. Laura has assembled an incredible panel of experts who run the gamut of expertise from feeding plans to cancer to gut health and alternative techniques.

Laura’s vision has come to life as an incredible resource called The Doggy Dish Database. The database is filled with vet-approved recipes, health guides, and product recommendations, all in one convenient place. What I find most appealing is that the info is so beginner-friendly, and allows the owner new to fresh food to avoid overwhelm. (I feel the biggest mistake fresh food feeders make in talking to newbies is completely overwhelming them with information and details. It often results in convincing them that they cannot possibly feed this way, so they go back to kibble.)

Of course, we know it does not have to be that hard. We also know that a quick web search for “canine nutritionist” will result in thousands of sites from people with varying levels of expertise and even basic knowledge. And that does not even consider the range of feeding philosophies, from raw to cooked to low carb to 80-10-10. You will even find people who warn that dogs should never eat vegetables! Because broccoli and carrots are dangerous and have no nutritional value??

So what might you find in The Doggy Dish? Topics such as these, ranging from nutritionally complete recipes to treats, techniques, and toppers. Simple, straightforward, and thoughtfully presented with supply lists, ingredients, and photos to make the first batch production successful. Beyond these, you will have access to a private member-only community, as well as live monthly vet sessions. The beauty of this resource is that it is structured as a database, which will be continuously added to. When you join, you will have access not only current content, but older recordings and articles as well. You can always go back and review, or search for all content related to a specific topic.
