Gregg Lubbe and his wife Shelly are very busy folks. Gregg is a corporate pilot and Shelly is a trauma nurse and Army nurse Captain - the ironic thing is they still find time to feed their dogs naturally and have reaped the benefits of it on a daily basis. Their old Labrador, Jaeger was fading when Gregg and Shelly took on their new project of natural feeding. Jaeger must have thought he was already in heaven and decided to stay around for another 3 years and smell-taste this new routine. Listen in on Gregg's casual approach to their forever discoveries in the world of feeding dogs naturally!

Master Pet Chef Micki gives some hints on doing just that. With rising fuel prices, yours and your pet's food will be going up - start by getting resourceful and making some changes!

What the heck is a species-appropriate diet? Pet Chef Micki fills you in on the wonders of your dog's stomach and why it needs to stay that way!

Master Pet Chef Mick answers several common email questions such as: "Because it's so warm here, do you think that's why my dog is eating less of his food?" "How long can I freeze uncooked meat?" "My dog likes to eat dirt, is that okay?" "How do I transition my dog to a new diet?" and finally, a recipe for meat jerky for you pet!

Sometimes ignorance is bliss but sometimes it catches up with us and we have to decide to continue to be ignorant or make a big change. Pet Chef Micki interviews Ken Morris, who tells the heartwarming story of his dog, D'ogi, who contracted lymphosarcoma at age 6+.

Recognizing their ignorance in their feeding of D'ogi and what he was exposed to environmentally, Ken and his wife, Linda, set out quickly on a path of change that can give hope to anyone wondering what they can do to improve the health of their pet. Very encouraging!

Master Pet Chef Micki Voisard discusses whether commercial pet food is sustainable in this economy. If we’re just looking at the price of commercial pet food, what it might cost today and what it will cost in 6 months or a year, that all depends on your personal income and whether you can continue to pay the price. Find out how to feed your pets on a more natural basis.

Master Pet Chef Micki has a bone to pick with the present expensive pet care system. There's never enough money to pay for a diseased pet population unless the subject of nutrition replaces the myriad of drugs that are given daily. You can't create healthy pets by drugging them into a state of health!

Natural food for pets! What a concept!

Dr. Al Townshend elaborates on Holistic Select pet food with Pet Chef Micki. Dr. Al's expertise on pet nutrition makes him a good staff vet for the Eagle Pack company that owns Holistic Select pet food.

He knows dog nutrition well since his love for the Alaskan Idiatrod has led him to be a part of the volunteer veterinarian team on the Idiatarod Race each year. Without top quality food none of those dogs could endure the grueling competition!

Pet Chef Micki interviews Woody Bartley from Chance For Bliss, a non-profit Animal Sanctuary in Penryn, CA. Woody and his wife, Deanna, have taken in 81 older animals, caring for them until their last days. They are very much into home cooked meals and natural care - which makes Pet Chef Micki want to sing their praises!
