The Fleabag Crew gained a new member! Meet Three-Pete, the three-legged kitty. He’s learning the ropes and the lay of the land.

Making the crew their food for the week. Do you feed kibble, raw, or do you cook for your dogs? I’m trying a gently cooked diet for the boys to see how they react to it. This mess consists of a dozen eggs from our chickens, a hunk of salmon, chicken livers, ground turkey, and egg shells. I will be mixing in h**p, sea kelp, veggies, and rice (quinoa for Rigby because he hates rice) after this part cooks. If you know me, or have followed me for a long time, you know I am always looking for the best diet for the crew. and in their newest book, have a lot of advice for gently cooked diets. ❤️ Check the book out, your dog will thank you.

HERE’S WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ADD FRESH “HUMAN FOOD” TO YOUR PET’S KIBBLE

Today, ninety-six percent of pet owners around the globe are feeding dry commercial pet foods. Of those 96%, there is a large majority that believes dried commercial pet food is really all their pet needs and would never stop to consider the benefits of adding fresh “human food”.

(“Human food” definition in this article: clean sources of meat-based proteins and some organic plant matter, not beer and nachos 😉)

There are many reasons why some of these pet parents feel this way, however the most popular reason today seems to be the 50-year-old rumor that is in existence and still spreading.

You know the one: “Giving your animal table scraps is bad!”

How or when did this terrible rumor start?

Well, if we go back in time, research shows that shortly after the invention of processed pet foods, manufacturers were having a hard time convincing pet parents to make the switch from foods in their refrigerators to their commercial pet foods.

So in 1964, the pet food industry, along with the PFI, joined together with a whole bunch of marketing dollars and launched one of the most influential campaigns the pet world had ever seen: the “Ban All Table Scraps from your Pets’ Bowls” campaign!

Through thousands of newspapers, magazines, and news stations, the public was warned about the dangers of table food scraps or “human food” and the importance of feeding “processed” commercial pet food. From there, the giant smear campaign took off!

Not only did this clever campaign work, but it was so impactful that now, 50 years later, folks are still in fear of offering anything that is not labeled pet food.

SO IS IT A GOOD THING TO ONLY OFFER YOUR PET DRIED KIBBLE?

Not according to ongoing research it isn’t, especially with today’s cancer rates being 1 in 2 dogs!

In a 2005 study conducted at Purdue University on Scottish Terriers, the results showed that adding fresh vegetables to dry commercial kibble actually prevented and/or slowed down the development of transitional cell carcinoma (aka bladder cancer)!

In the study, dogs ate a diet of dry commercial pet food, while some got an assortment of vegetables added to the mix at least 3 times per week.

When the study was concluded, according to the researchers, they weren’t really shocked by the results.

Here’s what they found:

Dogs that ate any green leafy vegetables, like broccoli, had reduced the risk of developing bladder cancer by 90% and the dogs that consumed any yellow – orange vegetables like carrots reduced the risk by 70%!

Seriously! A lousy carrot helped smash the potential of cancer.

( http://ilarjournal.oxfordjournals.org/content/55/1/100.full ) (Raghavan, Knapp, Bonney, 2005) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/16013542/

Yes, of course cats are obligate carnivores (must have meat to survive) and our dogs are facultative carnivores (carnivores with omnivorous potential if circumstances demand) so offering clean meat-based protein sources should always be top priority and essential.

However, because today’s world is ever-so changing due to factory farmed livestock being fed genetically modified grains and our planet being contaminated with every type of pesticide, fungicide and larvicide, the importance of fresh, organic plant matter to help detox the body couldn’t be more crucial.

So if the “cancer reducing benefit” doesn’t tickle your fancy enough to convince you to add any “human fresh foods” to your pet’s bowl, then maybe think of it this way:

How bad would it suck if someone forced you to eat dry processed foods your whole lIfe?!

Our Story

When we decided to start this business, we wanted the name to symbolize and embrace our mission: To offer honest ingredients, and quality products. With so many dogs falling ill due to what they are eating, we felt it to be important to provide humans with better products for their dogs.

Many people stop and smile when they see the name of our business The story behind the name comes from rescuing and rehabbing dogs. Most of the dogs we've helped along the way have been in bad shape. We lovingly refer to them as fleabags.

We are a small-batch, oven baked, preservative-free company.

Fleabag Bakery LLC. is licensed and registered in the state of Florida, and holds a Feed Master's License to produce, sell, and distribute dog treats. *A portion of our profit and unsold treats are donated to underfunded county shelters and local rescues.
