Recipes For Homemade Dog Foods - How Do I Know Which Ones Are Good?

With recent pet food recalls and some rather disturbing revelations in regards to what's actually in a lot of commercial dog foods, a lot of people are turning towards creating their own using recipes for homemade dog foods. Today, we'll be looking at the benefits, the negatives, and how to make sure your pet is getting the best nutrition it can.

Pet food doesn't need to go through the same approval process that human food does. Because of this many pet food companies use loop holes to save money while still being able to claim that their food is healthy and nutritious. The truth is, in a lot of cases it isn't. In fact, there have been many recorded cases where some of these chemicals and preservatives have actually causes illness or even death in many dogs around the world.

My goal here isn't to scare you, but rather let you realise that you're doing a major service to your dog if you start using recipes for homemade dog foods. But where do you begin?

There is certainly a convenience factor when it comes to buying kibble. You just open the bag, poor it in a bowl and let your pets go to lunch. But at what cost? At home dog food doesn't need to be difficult to make, and in a minute I'll show you why.

The other big problem is not knowing what foods you should be feeding your dog. After all, if something says "dog food" on it, there's a pretty good indication that it should be good for dogs. As I stated above, that's not necessarily the case in most situations, but there isn't anything out there that allows to see what human foods are good for dogs either. Luckily, today we have guides that will teach you all you need to know about dog nutrition and educate you into easily creating healthy and nutritious dog foods for your pet.

I've seen it time and time again. Within a week of feeding their pets home cooked dog food people will notice huge increases in their dog's energy levels as well as many other outward signs of improved health.
