I buy Pork shoulder roasts when they go on sale for $.99 a pound and store them in the freezer.

I also buy the #10 cans of pumpkin at Smart and final and store them. Every 2 weeks I cook up 2 roasts and mix them with 3 cans of pumpkin.

A little salt and some Olive oil and portion them out into 14 Glad containers and into the freezer they go.

Molly is a GWP, a working dog, and has never been more alert, buffed and active. Her coat is shiny and she has no medical problems.

It’s a PITA…..but her stools are works of art, she never has gas and her breath is minty fresh!

I have taken my Rat Terrier, Cappilena to Dr. Terifaj for some years. Due to her dry itchy short-haired coat I was experiencing many problems. I just cook her chicken, or bison with mixed veggies and she’s my buddy for life:)

My pup (and love of my life) Rudy has been a patient of Dr. Terifaj for the past 6-7 years. He came in to her at 16 lbs (he is a Yorkie!!) and was taking over 16 pills a day. My other vet was recommending surgery on both back legs for luxating patellas, but Rudy also has a collapsed trachea so I wanted to get a second opinion before risking the surgery. I knew I found the right place for Rudy as soon as I met Dr. Terifaj! She got straight down to business and told me the bulk of Rudy’s problems stemmed from poor diet, thus OBESITY. Of course, I thought feeding him **high quality** kibble was the right thing to do (he only got 1/4 c per day!!). She put Rudy on a home cooked diet and before I knew what happened, he lost almost 6 lbs!! Today, almost 7 years later, Rudy is still not without his issues, but he never had to have the surgery, he is down to TWO medications a day (along with a few supplements) and looks and seems to feel better than ever!!! I can’t tell you how much gratitude I feel for finding FOUNDERS and how much his change in diet changed his life. For the extra hour or so a week I spend cooking for him, I know I have given myself many more years to enjoy my boy…

This is fabulou news, thanks for sharing. I switched to Pet Promise because it was recommended by Dr. Weil and has none of the bad things in it for my kitty. It made a difference in her coat for sure. She does have crystals in her urine so I might give the raw organic chicken a try.

I totally agree Melissa and Dr. Terifaj! I also shutter to think at the way I fed my past dogs and cats. A time for everything and the sooner the better. My dog, Leo, now eats raw organic chicken – yes with the bones! A nice little Trader Joes chicken gives him 5 good dinners (Leo weighs about 55lbs) along with some vegetables. Raw beef – ground and chunks when I can get nice roasts on sale ….. plus some regular food (too long to go into) makes him a health dog with a good coat, no bad breath and he is nearly 10 years old. I hope to have him around for another 10. Thanks for sharing.
