Decision rules

  • Wash produce, cut it to safe size, and avoid butter, oil, salt, garlic, onion, sauces, and dressing.
  • Rotate greens for herbivores and reptiles instead of making one food the whole plan.
  • Do not copy vegetable advice between dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, and snakes.
