Want to boost your pet’s immune system, slim your dogs or cats down naturally and support all of their organs to function better, by changing one simple habit?
Then don’t forget the primary feeding rule. Make sure you remove all traces of your pet’s food, as well as their dishes after 30 minutes of feeding. Pets that are allowed to eat and nibble all day long are continuously living in a digestion mode. Every time a pet just smells food – the digestive process kicks into action. During the digestive process, valuable blood and oxygen supplies rush right to the stomach, to aid digestion, but this depletes the other organs of what they need to also function properly. By taking away any excess food between meals, you are actually allowing MOTHER NATURE to take over and do “HER JOB” of rejuvenating the whole body. This process creates brief periods of fasting, and these times of rest are incredibly healthy for everybody, and also mimic how an animal would actually be eating out in the wild.
Remember that there are no animals out in nature that have tidy little dishes of food just waiting for them. They must first get hungry. Then they hunt for food. Once they find their prey, only the most skillful of creatures can catch it on the first try. They get hungrier and sharper, which creates a cycle of feasting and fasting that nature designed for the wild.
Get your pets used to eating only at meal times and feed twice a day. Allow your cats to eat all that they want for no more than 30 minutes and pick up their food and wash the dishes. Dogs should not be allowed to “graze” all day either. When an animal is allowed to nibble all day long, it creates a sluggish body, which may contribute to joint and mobility problems, slows down metabolism, challenges the lymphatic system, and taxes the immune system. I’ve found that these pets tend to also develop dandruff and dull coat.
Once you change this important feeding habit, you’ll notice that all your pets will develop better appetites at mealtimes, eliminates the “picky eater” syndrome, and they’ll be building a stronger immune system during the rest of the day. It’s likely that overweight pets will also slim down naturally too. Lots of benefits with just a small change of lifestyle.

Hi Andi, firstly I have tried your recipes and they are great and we are slowly moving from canned food to home made food. I love the philosophy of food that is good for human is also good for the cat. I want the book and its not available here, so I will get it online. Also all your products are not sold here and I am really keen on the vitamins for their coat. We have 4 cats (though for now, 1 has ran away today..). We feed them wet food twice a day and in between unlimited kibbles, and I thought that was what most people and shops recommended. So, does that mean I do not have to give them dry food in between feed? I do notice that at first, they are slow to accept home cooked but after 2 days, they seem to be eating them clean and reducing the dry food intake. I do hope you can help on this. Many thanks in advance. Princess’ mummy 🙂
Hi Mummy! You’re doing great. NO DRY FOOD! Homemade is best and Doc’s Stew is incredible. Unlimited kibbles means that they are eating and digesting all day long, which is not healthy for any body! Follow the path in my book and you’ll be very very happy. Your kitties will probably never seee the vet and everyone should show glowing, great health. you can always get my book at Amazon.Com. xoxo
Hi Andi, my question is where can I buy the Doc Stew already made in the can? It says on this website it’s available to buy pre made, but It doesn’t have a place you can go to order it…I work 12 hour days & I’m just learning about making homeade dog food for my 9 month old chocolate Lab, but I want her off regular dry dog food ASAP so she can eat healthy human grade food! The pre made Doc stew would save me time so pos let me know if I can still buy it, thank you 🙂
Hi Emily, We used to make Doc’s Stew in a can, but discontinued production earlier this year. I’m sorry to say that the ONLY suggestion I have is to do your own homemade food yourself. I have many suggestions for easy quick meals, in addition to the stew in my book. I will help you along the way. I know that your Lab will adore it and live a great happy life. xoxo
Hi Andi,
Made the stew for my 10 month old Shih Tzu, Tashi, today. He wasn’t wild about it, but ended up eating it anyway. I think it was the salmon that he didn’t like, as he had turned his nose up at salmon in the past. Hopefully he’ll get used to it, since I gather it’s important to the overall recipe.
I had started giving him people food several months ago along with his kibel. He wasn’t eating the kibel, so I thought I could trick him if I buried it in the people food. But he was too smart, he’d eat the food and leave the kibel.
So my heart told me to listen to him and give him what he liked. Like you, I figured if I wouldn’t eat it why should he? Everyone told me I was wrong, so I was glad to find your site and get the confirmation I needed to trust my instincts and Tashi’s. I ordered your book and look forward to reading it.
Anyway, I want to buy the “Best of Coat” oils that you sell, but the site says it is sold out. Now I see on the previous message that you stopped selling the canned food. Have you also stopped selling the oil product as well? If not when will it be for sale again?
Thank-you for your good work.
Joanne
What a wonderful Mom you are Joanne! I’m thrilled that Tashi will be eating healthy food now that will make an amazing difference in how he looks, feels and lives. I have NEVER recommended any kind of dry food or kibble. It’s all dried out and even if the manufacturers cared enough to give good ingredients in the kibble, – by the time it’s cooked, baked and extruded… there is nothing left in it nutritionally. That’s why they HAVE TO ADD ALL THE ISOLATED VITAMINS AND MINERALS TO THE BAG. Your sweet one will likely adore his new food, and you’ll adore the transformation. I’m very glad that you’re getting my book. It will help your journey enormously. I’m sorry that I’m no longer producing products for the pets. I believe that everyone will have an easy enough time making the products themselves. It has been so incredibly costly to produce them. I am hoping to retire from manufacturing, and/but will ALWAYS be there for anyone who needs help with their pets. Feel free to contact me anytime if there is something I can help you with. andi@thewholepetdiet.com Sending hugs and much love! xoxo
Andi, I have just finished reading your book. Love it! You are so confident and encouraging. I have 3 dogs and a cat. Molly, my black lab, has Addison’s Disease. She takes minimal doses of the required medications. But she also has digestive issues. She will eat fairly well for a few days and then get diarrhea and not want to eat what she had been eating before the diarrhea. I have just finished deboning the chicken. It is 10am and she still has no appetite. Am going to try some of the broth. Any suggestions? Advice much appreciated. Thanks so much!
Hi Leslie. Thank you soooo much for the compliments. I am thrilled that you’re doing the homemade food. I hope that Molly is eating happily now. I am CERTAIN that the Addison’s can be turned around with the diet change. I have had so much feedback from people whose pets once had the same issues. Unless there is some “other” undiscovered issue – she should respond well to the new food. PLEASE keep us updated. You’re doing great. (I hope that your other dogs and kitty will get the same food too!)x xxxoo
Hi Andi
After our flat-coated retriever had regular stomach problems, I tried your ‘chicken stew’ recipe. He absolutely loves the food and his coat, good before, looks even better; also stomach problems have settled down. Add to that, we have saved money by going down this route. However, he has at the same time developed sore spots between his paws and I have read that this MIGHT be an allergic reaction to grain in the food. Your recipe includes rolled oats and barley – is there anything else I could substitute for the grain in the recipe to see if this is the problem? Of course, it may be something else causing the soreness but it is very much a case of ruling things out.
Thanks in anticipation
Steve
Wow Steve… I’m so glad that you wrote. If it’s just the first few weeks of feeding the stew, it could be that the toxins are coming out of the body. It’s called a “healing crisis” and could be just a temporary thing. However, I would take him off the barley and even the Sweet Potato. I have found that some pets are sensitive to those as well. The truest test would be to make the cat food version (no grains at all) and see how your retriever does. Next batch, incorporate oats, then the next batch the sweet potato. If he is still sensitive, then you will have your detailed food sensitivity answer. PLEASE keep all of us posted. Inquiring minds want to know! xoxox (Keep up the great work. You’re a terrific DAD!)
Hi Andi
Just as a follow-up – the good news is he has stopped licking/gnawing at any soreness between the paws. I initially removed the barley and oats from the recipe and have now reintroduced the oats. I will try the barley in the next batch and watch for any biting recommencing. I must say that the whole subject of dog nutrition is a minefield – the more I research, the more confusing the picture becomes. Can I ask you please why you include quite a lot of grain in your recipe – there is a lot of comment out there saying that dogs just don’t need it. I ask that simply because you must have an opinion on the subject. I must say that Digby continues to thrive on his new diet and his stomach problems have completely disappeared and boy, does he love it! Thanks for pointing us in the right direction.
FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XOXO tHANK YOU
I agree that it’s best to put the food away between meals, at least for most pets. I am a pet sitter, and I’ve seen so many overweight cats who have food out all the time. Dog owners tend to be a little better, probably because dogs are even more likely to overeat.
One of my cats will literally eat until he can’t eat anymore, so I have no choice but to put all of my pets’ food away between meals or he would be about twice the size he is now 🙂
Great Job Lindsay! We all wish we had someone as diligent as you to look after our sweet ones! Pets need to have brief fasts throughout the day so that their blood and vital oxygen supply is not rushing to the stomach constantly to aid in digestion. Pets that are allowed to eat and nibble all day tend to put on the pounds and have sluggish metabolisms! Bravo to you! xoxox
