I summarized the things he doesn't like about commercial pet food. Here is a brief summary of Dr. Stromeck's ideas on how you can cook for you dog or cat.
Protein is the most expensive ingredient in food.
It is made up of amino acids, which are based on nitrogen, and used to grow or replace muscles, blood cells, and many other tissues in the body. It is very important that dogs, and especially cats, get enough of certain types of amino acids. One of the problems with cheap protein sources is that they are often deficient in required amino acids. Pets who are growing or recovering from injuries or illness need more protein. The protein sources in Dr. Strombeck's diets are beef, lamb, fish, chicken, eggs, tofu and cottage cheese.
