If you’ve decided you’ve had enough of the pet food industry and want to make your own pet food here’s a great site: www.balanceit.com

It’s run by a vet and they have recipes already made up. They cost $20 each BUT wait, there is a space to enter a promotional code which will zero out the $20 charge. The promotional code is Wal-Mart. No kidding. I talked to the rep at balanceit and yes, Wal-Mart is picking up the tab. Unbelievable.

Here are a few tips that I figured out:
1. Only do one recipe at a time. If you do more than one the promotional code will only zero out one so you’ll be left looking at a bill for the other/s.
2. You can do this over & over; just remember, one at a time.
3. They sell a powdered supplement to add to the food. I ordered the one for cats. I refuse to use the one for dogs. The one for dogs has a substance in it that I don’t feel is safe; it’s called Menadione. They’ll tell you it’s “Vitamin K” but it’s not. Menadione is a precurser to Vitamin K and is banned for use in human supplements in the U.S. There are questions about toxicity and there's no proof that it’s needed for dogs. I called the company about this and she took all the info. She said if more people would call that would help to get it removed.

There you go!
