Dog Food 101 - A Foundational Bare Bones Basics Class For Pet Parents - Learn To Build A Better Bowl
Whether you're a new pet parent, or a well practiced pet parent, one thing's for sure, no matter where you fit into the mix, we all want to have the most time possible with our fur babies. Pets fed a fresh diet live an average of 3 years longer than those fed a dry diet! This is HUGE! We're here to empower you, help you and encourage you on your path to more knowledge when it comes to the foods you're choosing to feed your most beloved friend.
Please join us for a foundational class, the first segment of a series, which will ensure you have the skill it takes to bring more vitality, happiness, longevity and vibrance into the lives of your pets.
This class will be hosted in person, at our Olde Kensington location; 1800 N. American Street, Philadelphia, PA and conducted by Chef Jennifer Kirby, the owner of local favorite, Piggyback Treats Company.
In this 2 hour beginner class we will cover:
The Types Of Commercially Available Dog Foods
Discussion On Marketing Tactics Of The Pet Food Industry
Common Misconceptions Regarding Dog-Safe Foods
What To Look For On Pet Food Labeling
Food Allergies vs. Food Sensitivities vs. Food Intolerances
The Methods Of Fresh Feeding
How To Source Quality Ingredients
The Basic Components Of A Healthy Bowl
Common Questions Regarding Fresh & Raw Feeding
Question and Answer Session
You will leave feeling empowered to independently build a healthy bowl for your dog, knowing the basics of what it takes to provide well rounded nutrients.
Included in the class cost is a class syllabus, access to our custom raw food calculator tool with the option to create and email a shopping list to you, a magnetic reference chart for ease while prepping bowls in your home kitchen, a digital cheat sheet that can be set as your screen saver or background image, or kept in your photos, for quick reference while shopping, and a basic guide to transitioning your pet to a raw diet, plus 5% off in the Olde Kensington Farm N' Sea Pets Shop to buy what you'd like for building your bowls after the class is finished, if you so desire.
