Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
About two years ago I’ve decided to quit my well-paid Sales Manager Job and moved to Thailand where I spent nearly all my money and spare time on helping street dogs.
I started cooking Homemade Dog Food because one of my two rescue dogs was diagnosed with Canine Renal Failure (CRF).
As a street dog rescuer in Thailand, the money is always short and special treatment for dogs with different health conditions expensive. So we become “vet nurses”, and my focus is nutrition and special diets.
I have had dogs all my life, worked in Norway on a Husky Farm and just love them! This book is not only full of information and recipes to make your dog happy and healthy, it is also stuffed with lots of love.
The recipes have been approved by local vets and the Veterinarian University Hospital here in Thailand.
Many street dogs, my friend’s dogs, and my own dogs became guinea pigs, and it wasn’t easy to make them eat vegetables. But I finally found the trick! You will read more about it in the next chapters.
We monitored the test candidate’s blood values at least every three months to make sure the recipes work.
The idea became very successful, not only in Thailand, and all pooches love this food. The result for dogs with different health issues has been overwhelming, and we saved money!
This is the very first book I’ve written and here it is now for everyone!
The Complete Guide to a healthy, happy dog with Homemade Dog Food and how to support different health conditions with a special diet.
When I’m not writing a book or taking care of street dogs, I’m a full-time Life Coach, Blogger & Freelance Writer at https://damnitshard.com.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Homemade Dog Food – The Complete Guide. The inspiration was the many street dogs in Thailand I’ve worked with and my own rescue dog, who suffered from Renal Failure. The more I’ve learned about commercial dog food, the more effort I put into finding the ideal alternatives.
