I have formulated these programs as a way to prepare a homemade diet that is, of course, nutritionally complete and balanced, but also flexible, economical, and minimally time-consuming. I developed many of the timesaving innovations under field conditions- that is, preparing food for my own dogs and cats. It involves much less preparation time than any recipe-based diet plan.

Over the last 18 years, many hundreds of my clients have implemented these diet plans, and their feedback has allowed me to fine-tune them.
