About This Recipe

Time for our honest review... This fresh food DIY recipe is vet approved and healthier than Costco wet dog food. Costco dog food is good, but the highly processed natural of ready-made canned food or dry kibble just can't match the nutrition of fresh Costco ground beef combined with Perfect Dog Food Mix.

We don't know who makes Costco and Kirkland dog food, but we do know who makes this: you in your kitchen! When you take your dog's diet into your own hands, you'll quickly see numerous health benefits and signs of longevity including better skin and coat, reduced skin allergies and more energy.
