I interviewed Lucy Postins, the owner of THE HONEST KITCHEN, on DOG TALK®. We discussed the sustainable antibiotic-free, free-range chicken from Petaluma Farm that is now in her foods. I also told her about The Honest Kitchen diet I had put Scooby Doo on when he developed a double chin (that at first I thought was a goiter) and ballooned to 129.8 pounds. I had an Aha Moment and realized I had been giving him way too much kibble with his Honest Kitchen. I decided to make it only 1/4 cup per meal and depend on mostly The Honest Kitchen for his nutrition. Six months later Scooby Doo had dropped 29 pounds — which has now become a total of 31 pounds. I have slowly added the Halo kibble back into his diet at only 1 cup per meal — and he is holding strong under 100 lbs. I got the following brief email from a listener after she heard the show:

I’m ordering Honest Kitchen for me. I will eat it every day until the 29 lbs come off.

Jennifer wrote to ask whether I knew anything about Nutro Natural Choice wet cat food and how good it was for her cat. She didn’t see it on the CAT CHAT® list of approved cat foods but she knew it was all natural and her cat really seemed to like it. And there was also an email from someone wanting to know about Tikki foods – another quality pet food that will go right upon the list. Thanks to both ladies for keeping me up to date and crossing my T’s as needed. These are both fine canned cat foods which are headed onto the CAT CHAT® approved cat food list, thanks to them!

While I’m at it, I never miss a chance to recommend that people have a look at Weruva – it’s what I would eat if I were a cat (actual pieces of the breast meat of antibiotic-free, hormone-free, free-range chicken). And I’ve just started feeding Halo to my dogs – lovely ingredients and a company with a good philosophy) and they make a really nice canned cat food, too.
