As ya’ll most likely know, I currently have six dogs (one is a foster) and two cats in the house. I started looking seriously into dog food about a year and a half ago, deciding that I really needed to have a good grasp on dog food and the health, or unhealth, it provided to my dogs. At that time I went to raw.
I still feed a lot of raw, but I have been also feeding dehydrated dog food, and good quality kibble as well, to give the dogs variety and also to find a good balance for myself. I am happy with the food I have chosen for the dogs and I do think they are healthy and happy.
I had the opportunity to get some samples of Freshpet Select pet food and get a first hand look at the food itself, and provide a review of the food. I’ve included a couple of pictures here in order to show you what it looks like.
The first thing I look at when I look at a new companion animal food is the ingredients. I will not buy any food with byproducts, and I like to see fresh whole meat as at least the first ingredient, preferably the second and third as well.
I received a roll of the Adult Chunky Chicken, Turkey, Vegetable, and Rice Recipe. I am happy to report that the first two ingredients are meat, Chicken and Turkey to be exact. The third is eggs, which is also a good source of nutrients for dogs. The remainder of ingredients are whole ingredients, not parts or byproducts, also good signs. Also included (as you’ll see by the link) they include vitamins and minerals. Many of the livestock nowadays are raised in environments where they may no longer have all the vitamins and minerals necessary. I suppliment my dogs and I am glad to see these guys do, too.
The Deli Fresh foods need to be refrigerated, because they come with no preservatives. Another plus. And I wanted to make sure my dogs enjoyed the product which, enthusiastically, they did. 
You can see by the picture of Levi jumping up on the counter for the Pet Fresh food! He is a goof, though, and is allowed to be on the counters. Within limits, of course.
So I think I will try this food out in the future, and see where I can buy it locally. It would be convenient for travel as long as I have my handy fridge with me in the car that is car powered. But I do that with the raw, too. Has anyone else tried this food? If so, let me know!

I’ve thought about feeding our cats a homemade diet. Without an extra freezer, the time and expense would be too much, but they do get plenty of fresh meat to go with the Cat Chow. Real food is the best thing for pet and us people.

I am currently working on a new show for a major cable network. I am looking for “everyday women with everyday problems”. These problems can be women who are struggling with empty nest syndrome, Women who can’t seem to find Mr. Right, if they feel anxious all the time, don’t know how to handle being a single parent, struggling with career choices, etc. Through group and individual therapy sessions these women will learn to alter their thinking to improve their lives.
If you or anyone you know living in Southern California who could benefit from this kind of program please email me your: name, age, contact info (PHONE NUMBER) and their story to kzackcasting@gmail.com.

You know I have seen this in the pet stores and always wondered if it was good stuff. Seems a little expensive but I love my dog, and I guess he is worth it.
