The day I cracked a raw egg into Max’s bowl, I didn’t just serve dinner… I started a legend.
My Labrador Max looked at me like I had finally understood him. Tail spinning like a helicopter, eyes wide, posture straight. This wasn’t just food. This was destiny in a stainless-steel bowl.
If you’ve ever wondered how a homemade dog raw food recipe can turn an ordinary dog into a dramatic, full-time food critic… welcome to my life.
Why I Started Making Homemade Raw Dog Food for Max
Max is not a “meh, I’ll eat it” kind of dog. He’s a full-body-experience eater.
He needs food that supports:
- smooth digestion
- strong muscles
- shiny, “maniacs-will-stop-you-on-the-street” coat
So I created a simple but powerful dog food recipe for digestion and overall vitality that even sensitive tummies can handle.
And honestly? It changed everything. Less scratching. Happier poop schedules. And a coat so glossy I considered sunglasses.
