Making Dog Food In Your Kitchen Is The Better Option

Posted by aritrin on July 29th, 2019

Studies have shown that there are toxic chemicals and other ingredients that have been known to make their way into all brands of store bought dog food on a regular basis. Many of today's consumers that buy store bought dog food on a daily basis are not aware of its dangers and they very well should be. When it comes to the safety of my pets and their diet there is only one choice homemade dog food. The idea of making my own dog food may sound boring or not worth the time but that is simply not true, every dog lover in the world should know just how much fun it is when making your own dog food not to mention just how necessary it is on account of the safety factor.

One horrible ingredient that I learnt about in store bought dog food is called "the 4-Ds", what does the 4-Ds stand for here's the breakdown: dying, downed, diseased and dead animals. Along with the 4-Ds being present in your dog's daily meal, it has also been known that blood, beaks, hooves, and even undeveloped eggs are in the store bought dog food as well!

Now if that isn't enough of a reason to start making your own dog food, then I don't know what is, but then again there are plenty of other reasons that should motivate any dog lover.

Making your own homemade dog food can be rewarding

I use a variety of ingredients such as bones, muscles, organs, yogurt, fruit and even some household herbs. It is a well known fact that you can use as much or as little ingredients as you want, it all really depends on what type of appetite your pooch has. Your bigger sized dogs like the ones I have tend to have a much more heartier appetite and will most likely eat anything you put in front of them. Then on the other hand if you have a smaller sized dog it will most likely have a pickier appetite. So if you know your dog then it should be no problem when deciding the ingredients you will be using for your homemade dog food. Just imagine how grateful he or she will be when finding their deliciously filled dog bowl!

Homemade Dog Food Recipes

Making homemade dog food is cheaper and very easy to make

Another great benefit of making your own dog food is that it will cut down considerably on the amount of money spent when buying store bought dog food. Although it will not eliminate the cost completely because, let's face it that is quite impossible. Yet if you go over the usual homemade dog food ingredients listed earlier you will see that you can get most of that stuff simply by saving a little of your meat and bones from lunch and/or dinner. Doing so will ensure the cutting down of your pet food expenses by at least half.

The only things that will not be available from table scraps are the enzymes, although enzymes are not required to make your homemade dog food any better, it is still a healthier addition to your new found hobby.

Shocking facts about what's in your dogs food

Bottom line is that if you love your pooch then you should definitely make sure to check out as much material on the subject of making your own dog food as possible. You must also be sure to check out dog food recalls and even begin researching the ingredients labeled on your store bought dog food.

The reason being is that those dangerous ingredients are listed right on the package but no one would notice because of the scientific wording that is used on all of today's nutrition labels, in other words, the more you know the better off you and your dog will be.
