The rest of the ingredients include many wonderful varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables along with healthy maintenance items like glucosamine & chrondroitin for strong joints, and high levels of Omega 3 & Omega 6 fatty acids which are essential nutrients for normal growth in dogs and cats. The ingredient list reads like a healthy complete meal with vitamin pills. Read the ingredients list below and see for yourself.

My dogs are eating this now. They dive into their bowls and eat with tails wagging. That's a sure sign of satisfaction to me. After all, if it didn't taste good they wouldn't eat it. They just can't pass up all those natural organic ingredients. You can find more information on Natural Planet Organics dog food at EverythingNaturalPetFood.com.

Tuna Cat Cookies Recipe

  • 6 ounces of undrained tuna
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup water

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix thoroughly all ingredients. Use a rolling pin to roll to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into treat sized pieces. Perhaps get a small fish cookie cutter and a kitchen shop. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 20 minutes or until golden. Don't brown too deeply. Cool and store in air tight jar. Glass is best. There are no food preservatives in this recipe so feed it to kitty right away. Kitty's love the tuna aroma and flavor. You'll have no problem using up this recipe. In fact, you might want to double the recipe so you don't run out.

This is also a good gift idea. Wrap up the cookies in fancy wrapping paper and give it to a friend along with a book on homemade cat food recipes found at EverythingNaturalPetFood.com

Let me know the results of your dogs when you try Natural Planet Organics. Also, let me know how your Tuna Cat Cookies turned out. Post an answer. Send any questions you have and I'll answer. Have fun with you dogs and cats and remember, "Feed them life!"

National Pet Week May 4 - 10, 2008

National Pet Week is a time to celebrate the unconditional love our wonderful pets give to us. Considering the United States has 172 million pets, that's a lot of unconditional love. So this week, I'm taking my pets out for a drive in the car, making them some good homemade treats, and spending some extra quality time with them.

My dogs love to play chasemaster and hide and go seek. Of course, they love tummy rubs and back massages. I might even make them some new bandanas. Dogs love presents too. So that will be our National Pet Week. Except for one item. I have rescue dogs and we have a wonderful life. In honor of that, I will donate some money to pets in need at www.EverythingNaturalPetFood.com. Visit the Charities page and you can find many pet charities that need your help also.

American National Pet Week this year is May 4-10 (the UK dedicated an entire month to their pets; 5 April - 5 May 2008). As you can see in the above poster, the theme for 2008 is "Pets Jazz Up Your Life." This theme was chosen because the American Veterinary Medical Association Annual Convention will be held in New Orleans, July 19-22, 2008.

National Pet Week was jointly founded in 1981 by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the Auxiliary to the AVMA, and is now widely celebrated throughout the United States and other parts of the world. Each year, its goals are: to promote responsible pet ownership, celebrate the human-animal bond, and promote public awareness of veterinary medicine.
