Over the years, my wife and I have adopted rescue and abandoned dogs and cats. We have watched them struggle with various conditions as they grew older and have searched for ways to prolong their lives without making them suffer. It is difficult, and often very expensive, to find a diet that will help them survive some of the problems associated with aging or kidney, heart and other serious problems. The recipes that are included in this work are a compilation of the research that we have done to help our own four-legged family members. If you mass produce these recipes, you will find that most of them can be done for the same cost (or less) as lower priced canned dog food. They are far less expensive than prescription dog food and better for them, since there are no added preservatives, dyes, flavor enhancers or other unwanted chemicals.
