homemade dog food recipes

When I first saw all the commercial dog food recalls in the media I was shocked. I was conditioned to think the commercial dog food is the best way to go for all dogs. I contains everything they need, right? so why bother with homemade dog food recipes?

Well the reality is a bit different:

1.Would YOU eat road kills? would you eat dead zoo animals? or, how about euthanized animals for desert?

Believe it or not - all of these are actually used in making commercial dog food. Next to them, making home made dog food seems very rational. Commercial dog food is made out of scraps you wouldn't want to eat yourself, so WHY feed your dog with it?

2. Many of the ingredients that are used in commercial dog food are imported form China and other countries. These countries don't have the same standards as the USA, so some ingredient may be contaminated. That's exactly what happened in February 2007, with the latest big recall. Using homemade dog food recipes you will never have to fear another dog food recall.

3. You don't have to worry about weather home made dog food is good to your dog. There are homemade dog food recipes that are tailored exactly to your dog's needs. Besides, dogs have been eating the scraps from man's table for thousands of years, and they were always health and happy to do so...commercial dog food is a new invention and that's the un-natural choice. Just pick a good collection of homemade dog food recipes and you and your dog will be just fine.

4. With what we know today about dog health, it's a cinch to build a super healthy and delicious menu for your dog. A menu that will provide your dog all the nutrition it needs as well as make him look forward to the next meal.
