When Humphrey came to Willowdale, he had a lot of food
intolerances. In fact, he was a vegetarian! After months of trial and error
(more error than you can imagine!) Humph’s guardian and her vet decided to
construct a home-cooked diet for him. They relied on all kinds of nutritional
charts, and had to work around what was a very limited range of ingredients
(strawberries, spinach, sweet potatoes, yogurt, milk, and fish). Over time,
Humphrey’s range of food tolerance increased, but he continues to be on a home
cooked diet. And, much to his delight, his pack eats dog food! That’s right!
Seared salmon, turkey scallopini, kale, spinach, brown rice, and potatoes! Can
you imagine?
Along the way, Humphrey learned that pet food is big
business. In 2011, sales of pet food and pet
snacks were $16.2 billion in the United States alone! That’s a lot of kibble! The pet food market
worldwide is expected to reach US$56.4 billion by 2015. So, in keeping with a corporate sensibility,
Humphrey assembled his own illustrated cook book, Who’s That Wiggling in My
Kitchen? Humphrey invites you to preview his book:
