The practice is picking up with the addition of Alie, Tootsie and Pidge. Jesse and Charlie are making a comeback. Pidge has to be the calmest bulldog I have ever seen, and you should see the first session we did with her, she loved all the attention.
I just finished the Chi Institute TCM Food Therapy course online, 27 hours of course and cooking. As usual, I got a ton of great information that I can apply readily. I got a lot of home made recipes from the teachers. Be ready to share meals (sometimes :-) ) with your dog and cat. Every bit of information makes you think: season availability of food, temperature, breed difference, stage of life, variety, etc. I remember my dog Mozart, Labrador cross with German Shepherd. When I was living up North of Montreal, Canada, he would go on the lawn (I lived in the country), pick the wild raspberries and eat them during the summer.
A little word on home made diets. They can be the best or the worse. Never attempt to do a home made diet without the help of your veterinarian or a veterinary nutritionist. Balancing a diet is very important.
