Christine - The Fresh Pet Chef
My journey to feeding a natural fresh diet for my dogs began in 1987 after my Sheltie, Brandy passed away.
Brandy had honorably allergies, her life was constant scratching, biting and licking herself until her fur fell out and her skin crawled from sensitivity to touch. Still to this day it angers me that never in her life did my vet talk to me about potential food allergy but rather recommended steroids for her life. Back then I just didn’t know better.
Which is why I am here today for you.
After Brandy passed, I went into a two year binge in research before getting my next dog. It was during this time that I was introduced to Raw Food Diets for dogs. I attended a seminar by Karen Becker DVM. That Seminar spurred me to the next 34 years and counting on the importance of nutrition for dogs.
My Name is Christine and for the past 20 years I have had a successful dog training business in the suburbs of Chicago IL. The development of my holistic beliefs and lifestyle was cultivated as a child as was my love for animals.
In the past twenty years, I have helped 1000’s of dog owners convert their dogs to a fresh diet.
This website will be a labor of love to offer dog owners a place where they can explore food options and make healthy decisions on their dogs health.
With my education and my strongest desire, I know in my heart that I am following my life’s work.
