What dogs like for dinner

Experts say that the appetite of dogs is influenced by the smell, taste and texture of the food. Of course the dog can't choose its food, so it eats its owners' food preferences. The dog trusts its owners its health and well being, eating the food they choose for it. Make good choices for your best friend. Learn what is in your dog food. Or best if you can prepare something delicious for Fido. He won't love you more but he will be healthier and happier!

What people say about what dogs like to eat

Meat, meat - it's what dogs like to eat!: Meat. Biologically, dogs are carnivores and opportunistic scavengers
Dog Facts: On of the facts mentioned in this site is: Dogs have fewer taste buds than humans (they have approximately 1,700 on their tongues, while humans have about 9,000), but that doesn't mean they are not discriminating eaters. They have over 200 million scent receptors in their noses (humans have only 5 million) so it is important that their food smells good and tastes good.
Dogs like to eat something cold and sweet: Info found on this site: BIZTREND: ICE CREAM, DUCK MEAT TURNING UP IN PET-FOOD
January 26, 2003
Associated Press NAGOYA (Kyodo) -- Premium ice cream made of soy milk and honey, duck and rabbit meats imported from Europe, and vitamin-rich supplements -- according to this story, these are recently launched foods for pets in Japan and are aimed at cashing in on a growing trend among pet owners of paying greater
attention to the health condition and "personal taste" of their furry friends.
The story says that Inaba-Petfood Co., based in Yui, Shizuoka Prefecture, is selling the Regalo brand soy milk-based ice creams for dogs in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
The products, sold in 200-milliliter cups, contain dietary fibers, vitamins and calcium for maintaining canine health as well as ingredients taken from green tea which the company claims work to reduce the odors of a pet's output.
"Dogs like to eat something cold and sweet," said a company official in explaining why it developed the product.
The ice cream is currently available in two flavors -- plain and cheese.
Inaba-Petfood is planning to expand its dessert lineup by adding items including puddings and bavarois or Bavarian cream.

Watch what this dog loves for dinner

Tacos

Another video I found while sifting through old stuff. This is my dog, Barf. Unfortunately he ran away in a freak accident. I always liked watching him eat, as picky as he was. So, I carefully prepared some tacos for him to eat, because I knew he would do it one at a time. Notice how he literally sucks the shells up without chewing.

Add Blueberries to Homemade Dog Treats

Add Blueberries to Homemade Dog Treats

(ARA) - Making treats for your "best friend" is a great idea! When you bake biscuits for your dog, you know the ingredients are all wholesome and nutritious. And a healthy diet is just as important for dogs as it is for humans.

The authors of "Better Food for Dogs," David Bastin, Jennifer Ashton and veterinarian Dr. Grant Nixon, say, "After years of research, we've concluded that a natural, home-prepared diet is one of the best investments you can make in your dog's health."

The recipe from the book for "Blueberry Banana Biscotti" includes fruit that is good for your dog. (These treats are not meant for cats.) Make a batch of these very special biscuits to have on hand for an occasional treat that includes flavors your dog will love plus nutritious ingredients that can help keep your pet healthy.

Blueberries are very popular with people, too! Blueberries combine the best that nature has to offer: good nutrients and luscious flavor. A number of scientific studies show that blueberries contain antioxidants as well as vitamins and minerals. Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals, which are linked to the development of a number of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease and other age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's.
