Is it Safe to Make Homemade Dog Food?
While it may seem like more work and you may wonder about the safety, as long as you know what you are doing making homemade dog food is both a fun experience for you, and a healthy delicacy for dogs.
There are many upsides to feeding dogs homemade food including:
- Having more control over what is in your dog's food
- Allowing for a much more diverse diet
- Having a good time making a meal for someone who is just as much of a family member as anyone else.
Having more control over your dog's food is an ultimate plus. If your dog needs more meat in his diet you, can add more lean meats such as poultry. Just make sure to remove the skin first.
If he needs more vegetables, add a good variety of vegetables to ensure your furry little friend has a good meal. All in all a controlled diet is good, just as it is with humans.
A diverse diet will help a dog be more healthy, active, and happy. Make sure that you keep your homemade meals very diverse in terms of vegetables and meats. If for whatever reason a very diverse diet isn't possible, make sure you talk to your veterinarian for advice on what supplements to feed along side the meals. Keep your dog's diet as diverse as possible.
I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but remember that your dog isn't an inferior, he is your friend and family member. If you wouldn't give your daughter pellets of compressed food why would you give your dog it?
Making meals is always fun and it's even more enjoyable when it is for an energetic dog that cannot wait for you to finish cooking. Your dog loves you unconditionally, treat it with the same kindness and make it proper food.
Some foods that are good for dogs that you should have at home are things such as peanut butter (make sure it's not Xylitol sweetened) rice, chicken, and other lean meats.
Be sure that you aren't feeding your dog's food that they are allergic to, again if you are not sure it is best to check with your veterinarian. An easy meal you can cook your dog is plain white rice and chicken.
All in all making homemade dog food is very good for you and your dog. It is something very worth while to look into and you should definitely consider switching your dog to a homemade diet. But of course make sure to check with your veterinarian and make sure your dog is getting all the vitamins it needs. In conclusion try homemade dog food today!
