Giselle and Ken Pemberton will teach you how to create a balanced whole food diet for your canine companion that is both healthy and affordable.

During this program, you will learn how commercial pet foods, while convenient, don’t always provide the essential nutrients and whole food vitamins and minerals your pet needs. Making your own healthy dog food at home, while time consuming, assures that your pet will live a longer, healthier, and happier life…saving you money in the long run. The program is intended for ages 13 & Up.
