The Right Recipes for Dog Food are Easy to Make & Easier on Your Dog by David Park
Most dog owners believe that dogs cannot be healthy without commercially prepared dog food, even though this food has only been available for about one hundred years. Most people believe that it is detrimental to feed dogs leftovers from the dinner table rather than feed them quality packaged or canned dog foods. But guess what, dogs have eaten human table scraps for hundreds of years; it would appear that they have adapted to our kind of diet. Making dog foods at home with Healthy Balanced Recipes for dog foods would be a more nutritious diet.
Many conscientious dog owners are becoming concerned with the dangers of preservatives and additives found in canned and dry “kibble” DF. Most people would never consider feeding their family canned foods or processed fast foods for every meal, every day of every week of their lives. So why do that to our dogs? Some veterinarians are concerned that the highly processed canned and dry pet food may be causing some of the pet illnesses they are seeing. One can buy premium pet food from some commercial providers, but the cost is a lot higher. Most suppliers of pet food, in trying to hit the right price niche, provide inferior dog food that contains ingredients you would not feed your pet if you knew what they were.
Pets died when they ate the pet food from China that was laced with melamine, a deadly additive. This Wikipedia listing will upset you. “Protein adulteration in the People’s Republic of China refers to the adulteration and contamination of several food and feed ingredients with inexpensive melamine… used to inflate the apparent protein content of products, so that inexpensive ingredients can pass for more expensive, concentrated proteins.1…the combination of melamine and cyanuric acid has been implicated in kidney failure. Reports that cyanuric acid may be an independently and potentially widely-used adulterant in China have heightened concerns for both animal and human health.”
Of course, animals in the wild eat raw food exclusively. So many recipes for home-made dog food call for raw food. They are veterinarian-approved and call for human-grade foods. Plus, many DF recipes are easy to follow and prepare. The recipes should be low in sugar and contain some fat and oil. Whenever potential, substitute the processed sugar in a recipe with a little honey or molasses instead.
In addition to the benefits of feeding your dog a diet that is full of nutrients such as protein, you also get to know exactly what you are feeding your pet. The shocking thing is that pet food companies can change up to 15% of their ingredients without having the change the package label. Many times the ingredient panel of a DF bag has four to five different forms of one type of grain listed. This is misleading. Splitting one grain type into multiple forms makes it hard to determine the percentage of grain versus meat ingredients; in these cases, the grain will usually be a higher percentage. This may be legal, but it is a nifty little way to throw off the consumer who may not be aware that all the grain forms need to be added together to get a true understanding of the proportions in the dog food.
Once you discover that it is easy for you and better for your dog, you will want to start playing with dog food recipes to ensure healthy nutritious meals. Avoid hazardous ingredients by following the advice of experts in The Healthiest Kind of Dog Food.
Home-made DF will cost about the same as premium dog food, but will have premium ingredients supplied by you. Your trips to the veterinarian should decrease as the health of your dog blossoms with this new food..
