For the last two months, I’ve been feeding my dog Olive Peabody the Vegetarian Diabetic 1 recipe from the Complete and Balanced recipe book. It has literally been a life saver.

When we moved to a new city at the end of June, Olive got extremely sick. At first I thought she had stopped eating because she was stressed out from the move. When she continued to refuse food, I took her to my wonderful veterinarian. He diagnosed Olive with diabetes. It had reached medical crisis because she hadn’t been eating. After she was hospitalized for a couple of days, I brought her home with cans of commercial brand prescription diet food for diabetic dogs. She refused to eat both brands “Olive Peabody” offered by the animal hospital. Getting her to eat again was critical in bringing her out of the medical crisis. After trying to cajole her into eating the canned food and even force feeding her for several days, I asked my veterinarian about a home-made diet. After speaking with Hilary, he recommended I feed the Vegetarian Diabetic Recipe along with Hilary’s Blend supplement. Olive loves the peanut butter and tomato sauce recipe! She has never been a great eater, but now the food disappears as soon as I put down her plate. Once she started eating regularly again, we could get her glucose levels stabilized. Now I think she’s healthier than she’s ever been. The Complete & Balanced cookbook and Hilary’s Blend supplement are a big part of that. I cannot express how grateful I am.
