This is the best. I made food for my dog and the kids dog. The kids do not. I fed my dog food to their dog and it loved it, but threw up. Embarrassing.
Step One
Know that it is wise to check with your vet before switching to homemade dog food.
Step Two
Understand that dogs need a diet that consists of 40 percent meat, 30 percent vegetables and 30 percent starch. Follow this formula to ensure that your dog has a well-balanced diet.
Step Three
Cook meat before feeding it to your dog.
Step Four
Realize that organ meat (such as liver, kidneys, etc.) and eggs are very good for your dog.
Step Five
Consider the fact that many experts believe commercial dog food is actually unhealthy for dogs. Often the meat that is used in dog food is of a quality considered unfit for humans.
Step Six
Try making a mixture of ground turkey, rice and carrot for your own dog food. Meals made of ground beef, brown rice, brewer's yeast and carrots are also popular.
Step Seven
Rotate the foods you feed your dog so that the dog gets a variety of foods.
Step Eight
Add a tiny bit of cooked garlic to your dog food. Dogs enjoy the flavor and garlic is a natural flea repellent. Be sure to consult your vet before using garlic, however, as raw or spoiled garlic may be poisonous to dogs.
Step Nine
Use oatmeal, pasta, rice or potatoes for your dog's starch requirement.
Step Ten
Grind eggshells and add this to your dog's meal. Eggshells have a lot of nutrients.
Step Eleven
Keep cooked dog food in the refrigerator no longer than three days.
Tips & Warnings
* When you first switch to homemade dog food, try mixing commercial dog food to the food you have prepared to help your dog make the transition.
* Do not feed your dog chocolate.
* The American Animal Hospital Association lists raw and spoiled garlic as poisonous and potentially fatal to dogs. Use garlic only in small doses and make sure it is cooked.
Do not feed your dog bones, especially cooked bones.
