Homemade Dog Food
Organic Versus Commercial
|
Commercially
prepared dog food is specifically mass produced and designed to
provide the most optimum health benefits for your canine at a set price.
Commercial dog food recipes are very easily available and easy to use,
however they do lack some of the benefits normally associated with
homemade dog food.
Commercial recipes tend to lack the texture and variability of textures
within the ingredients.
Many breeders, dog trainers and families still advocate the use of home
cooked recipes for their pooch as they argue that it is safer and they
know exactly what goes into their recipe.
There is little doubt that dog food made at home is fresher and has
more variety in taste and texture, but you do need to know what you are
doing.
If
you are making
your own dog food from home you
need to make sure that you
are giving and providing your pooch with all of the vitamins and
minerals that he needs.
Making your own dog food from home can be time consuming which can put
some people off, and it can be difficult to get your recipe
nutritionally balanced.
Always seek the advice of your vet if you choose to make your own dog
food from home, and if you decide on this method by getting your puppy
regularly checked will enable your vet to spot any vitamin or mineral
deficiencies before it damages your puppy's health. |
Homemade Dog Food
Raw Dog Food
I'm ready for my dinner!
| As we all know dogs are naturally a pack animal and if we go back to their roots they would always eat raw meat - as hundreds of years ago it was catch it, kill it and then eat it.
With humans we need to cook our meat as we are susceptible to salmonella and other bacteria that can multiply on uncooked meat and food.
However, dogs in general are not so susceptible to these illnesses so some dog trainers and breeders advocate the use of raw dog food recipes.
Advocates of a raw meat and raw dog food diet eliminate the use of all grains as they argue that it can cause pancreatic and tooth problems.
A raw dog food recipe may consist of various meats including:
- Chicken
- Liver
- Duck
- Fish
- Rabbit
- Beef
- Turkey
- Emu
- Ostrich
- Venison
But a raw homemade dog food can also include crushed egg shells with a density in the recipe approximately 20% fat and skin, 20% organs, 35% muscle meat and you can make the rest up with veg.
The benefits of giving your dog raw meat or uncooked dog food can include more solid poop and a denser and stronger muscle mass around your dog's upper shoulders and neck.
Also due to the more chewing often associated with making your own dog food your dog may develop a stronger jaw muscle.
It is also ok to include bones in your homemade dog food recipe as long as they are fresh - but if you have any concerns ask your butcher or your vet. |
Homemade Dog Food
Holistic Dog Food
Am I Cute or What!
| A holistic approach advocates that if you feed the body appropriately you also feed the mind.
By doing this effectively using a holistic approach, dog trainers and breeders argue that feeding a puppy or dog holistically leads to a more balanced dog or puppy.
If you are using and making a holistic dog food recipe you can use meat or vegetables or a mixture of the two, your aim is to provide the right proportion of protein, carbohydrates and vegetables.
The ultimate aim of using a holistic approach when making your own dog food or for that matter when making any health dog food recipe - and that is to leave out the added fillers, chemicals and additives that maybe included in commercial and mass produced dog food recipes. Remember the dog food recalls of 2007 and 2008.
Some dog owners argue that using a holistic approach that uses the best of a mixture of ingredients, vitamins and minerals leads to benefits such as a healthier and shinier dog coat and a more energetic and overall healthier dog or puppy. |
