REFLECTION QUESTIONPets Homemade Pet FoodDoes making your own pet food seem like a habit you can keep up in the long term? What else can you do to reduce your use of plastic packaging that can come from taking care of your pet's needs?
Natalie Johnson 7/12/2022 9:51 AMI think I will supplement my dog's food with homemade pet food to help with time investment and to ensure that my dog gets all the nutrients she needs. I will still reduce dog food packaging but maintain life balance and health of my dog. -
