Book Review: From Basic to Bougie

From Basic To Bougie: A Blueprint To Upgrade Your Pet's Diet Safely and SimplyFrom Basic To Bougie: A Blueprint To Upgrade Your Pet's Diet Safely and Simply by Meghan Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To better support your pet’s health and prevent disease, start by looking at their diet. This book presents three phases that you can move through from basic to bougie: (1) upgrade from the basic diet; (2) enhance meals with the better diet; and (3) optimize meals with the bougie diet.
There are seven chapters: background, master your mindset, upgrade from “the basic diet,” enhance meals with “the better diet,” optimize nutrition with “the bougie diet,” the bougie pet cookbook, and about the author. She offers a free additional resource guide on her website.

The blueprint guides the reader through the process. It is easy to understand, compelling, and inspiring to do better for your pet. I highly recommend this book to all pet owners.

There is eye-opening information about the pet food industry and great advice to go to FDA.gov and look at all the pet food and product recalls. The author’s tone is positive and encouraging. The recipes are not complicated. I appreciated her sharing her journey to better nutrition and health. She eats organic, non-GMO foods, limits processed foods and sugar, reads nutrition labels, and eats primarily home-cooked meals.

Self-published, so you may have to look past some missed edits and odd spacing. There is little information if you are trying to navigate the upgrade with multiple pets.
