Yeah when my little angle came into my life I was literally just eating cereal and smoothies so I had no idea what was even healthy for myself, but I was taking her to the vet every month just to do checks on this or that (1st time mom I was just over protective) and each time the vets would make sure I’m giving her this special kibble for her specific breed. Not once did a vet say, actually it’s healthier to feed her liver, eggs and chicken hearts… I only recently discovered this (2 years ago). That was also around the time I started eating healthier myself.

Hopefully I'll do better next time. If I learn to cook til then

Mine got some canned meat sometimes, but mostly dry food. That was a mistake, as dogs are carnivores, but I never had any vet mention it.

😞

I am 100% prepared to be a better dog mom when it comes to the food and not giving kibble or canned food, I will make the effort to cook for my baby. The only thing holding me back is that I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to love another soul the way I loved my girl, she was my match 100% and I’ll feel bad if I don’t love the next as much.

I'm sure you'll both do better.

It's sort of like the way our mothers' generation didn't breastfeed. They didn't do it on purpose, they just didn't know there was a reason to do it and the experts were like, Oh, that's old fashioned. Everyone just uses formula.
