Please note:

When it comes to holistic nutrition, we will refer you to your vet as they know about what vitamins and minerals are essential for your dog’s health. The food we make for dogs in this class is for fun, and not a sufficient substitute to replace the nutrients for their everyday needs. 

2.) Please consult your veterinarian before you attend this class if your dog has any food allergies/sensitivities, weight issues, or health concerns, such as kidney and liver issues.

Did you know?

Before Chef Aric and I began our journey as personal chefs, I used to run a dog training business. During my time in dog training, I often had to come up with creative solutions, many of which were inspired by Chef Aric. For instance, I prepared carrots in chicken stock for dogs that were limited in consuming treats due to health concerns. I also made kibble mousse for elderly guardians with arthritis to make it easier for their dogs to digest.

In the meantime, Chef Aric developed a method to create "dog gravy" for our beloved pets, Midori and Sakura. This "dog gravy" involved using scraps like potato and carrot skins, eggshells, meat scraps, and leftover veggies that were getting old in the fridge. We would cook them in a crockpot for hours, and they loved it!

We are thrilled to share our love for our furry friends by offering this class to celebrate International Dog Day with you!
