I totally agree. There are a huge number of people who want to go all out for their pets. But I think the lion's share are still a bit lazy.I somewhat agree. However, I'm not saying it would always have to be homemade food. As I said there are more and more companies coming out with natural, raw foods. Even though homemade would be healthiest if done correctly, a change in the industry toward healthier and more ethically sourced food would be a great thing and I believe that trend is on the upswing already. So, the parent could still have the option of purchasing a better quality food.
And take me for example...I hate prepping food & cooking for myself. I am SO lazy about it. BUT I still go all out for my fur babies. Chopping up whole chickens, grinding them & the bones, sticking my hands it all that nastiness!! I never ever thought I would enjoy doing it but I only do it for them and that makes it totally worth it! I know I'm only one person, but I know many pet owners and many of them are very passionate about their pets in this same regard.
I also wish there were more ethically sourced options. There was a period in my life where I was vegan (but feeding my snake live mice...) because of the treatment of animals. Now I live in the countryside and can meet the farmers and still afford to buy animal products to eat. There's still a long way to go, though, but I think people like you will help to push things in the right direction.
