Marvelous home-made pet food!

Angela's Living dog Food available by special order


Please visit our Farmer Friends, Cahuilla Mountain Farms & Good Faith Farm at the Hillcrest Farmer's Market on Sunday's from 9-1pm. They have wonderful Organic produce!

You will never see a recipe with grains for your pets on this site. Grains are not tolerated by animals and will eventually shorten their lifespans.

*Many of you ask why I don't have the raw meat diets available. I simply feel that we must strive to end all suffering on this planet. Some dogs  thrive on a raw meat diet. At the same time, I have seen dogs live very long and healthy lives on a vegan raw diet. When they die, it is usually of natural causes and they die peacefully. Every animal that I treat is on a meat diet to begin with and is very sick. I treat mostly animals with cancer, lupus and other serious auto-immune disorders.  So, I do know first hand what I am talking about. I have an extensive background in Human and animal nutrition. If your animal has any kind of auto immune problems, meats and dairy are only going to aggravate their condition. The best foods for your pets are raw food diets with lots of fresh and organic veggies!

NEW RECIPES For all you Vegan Raw Fooders out there!!!
Sunflower milk recipe
Take one cup sunflower seeds and soak them in one and a half cup of filtered water for two days, covered. Place sunflower seeds and water in a blender and blend. Voila! You have sunflower milk. Sunflower milk is extremely high in calcium and other good nutrients your cat needs and it is allergy free! :)
Raw Almond Milk
Take 2 cups of raw almonds and soak them in water for up to 12 hours. Blend in blender with two or more cups of water, strain the milk and add it to smoothees. MMMM! Dogs love the left over almond paste. Great source of protein and enzymes, this way nothing goes to waste. :)
