Dog Food Recipes - Healthier for Your Dog

Instead of buying commercial made dog food, why not collect and cook dog food recipes to give your pet the absolute best in nutrition. These days you really don’t know what all you may be getting in the dog foods you buy.

Remember the scare and the horror with the tainted dog food that was made in China? Many people lost their beloved pets as a result of feeding them the tainted food. Dog food they thought was good for them.

Have you ever read the ingredients on canned or dry dog food in the store? Chances are if you can't pronounce it then it's not that good. A lot of commercial dog foods are filled with filler. Some use leftovers from food processing plants. So ingredients are questionable at best.

Making meals for your dog from dog food recipes are a great way to insure that you know exactly what's in their food, because YOU are making it. It's not that difficult, no more so than cooking for your family. And your dog, after all is a member of the family, right?

When compiling recipes for your pooch, talk to your veterinarian about what ingredients and supplements are good and what are to avoid.

By doing this you are taking charge of your pet’s nutrition and in return their health. It's important that you know what foods can be hazardous and which ones are beneficial. Make a list and keep it with your dog food recipes.

To cook or not to cook? With dogs you can safely feed them raw meats, certain vegetables and their juices and grains. Dogs that run in the wild don't get "home cooked" meals.

They have to rely on catching and killing their meat, and they eat it raw. Any veggies they get are ones they find growing wherever they happen to be. None of it is peeled, diced, cooked. So feeding your dog a raw food diet is okay.

Feel free to feed your dog organic foods. All the better for them too. If you have a garden or farm, then you're that much ahead of the game. Just be sure to fix your pet a meal along with your own.
