Too many people have fogotten the benefits of a home cooked meal. This is surprising considering that prepackaged dog food has only been around about 100 years. Dogs have been around for centuries and survived just fine on table scraps and other foods right from the kitchen. Do you consider your dog family? Of course you do...then treat him like a family member and cook a meal or two:)
I think it's really important to feed our pets quality food and snacks. After all, we do this for ourselves to stay healthy right? There are some brands of manufactured dog food on the market that have very high standards, but they are very expensive. For most of us dog lovers, we follow the words of the dog food companies and believe that they are selling high quality food for our furry canine pals.
The fact of the matter is that most of these companies are using crappy ingredients to make their dog food. This is where a recipe for dog treats made with baby food would be highly beneficial to your pup. Many homemade recipes for dog treats use high quality ingredients. The best part about this is that most of these recipes are easy to follow. We all like variety so let's give our pets the same option. A few things quality recipes will have are good fats and oils and it should be low in sugar. If you are trying to make a sweet treat you can always use honey instead of sugar. Molasses is nice alternative too.
If you want a nutrious and well balanced meal for your pooch, then you should be using homemade recipes. Homemade dog treat recipes allow you to control all of the nutrional value. Knowing what is in the food your pooch is eating is comforting; especially when you don't know exactly what is in the package food you buy at the pet store. Labels are not always true. they can be deceiving. Unfortunatley there aren't many guidelines to really protect your pooch. If "corn" is listed on the label it can actually be corn grits, corn meal and even whole corn! Dog food comapnies are not obligated to state exactly what's in their food.
Why are we still allowing the dog food industry to sell us dog food and dog treats that are made from very low quality ingredients? The dog food industry can use better recipes for the food it makes; although, the flip side is that the prices would rise and we would then buy an even lesser quality product. This problem can be solved by simply using homemade recipes for dog treats and dog food. Making homemade dog food is really very simple. If you new how much healthier and happier your pet would be, time would not be an issue.
Because I love dogs so much, I have made it my goal to learn as much about pet nutrition as I can. I also take pride in sharing everything that I have learned along the way. Does this sound like something that interests you? helpful resources
