How To Make Your Own Dog Food That They Will Love!
The call for a more natural, no preservatives and no additives dog food has grown over time, ever since the discovery that some brand name dog foods can be hazardous to our dog's health - causing the onset of most diseases and worst, death.
Now the option to make your own dog food is seen as preferable to forever being paranoid about what your loving German Sheperd, Hugo, is putting into his stomach.
It is a wise move to make your own dog food, considering all the benefits you can get from switching to a more personalized and healthy dog chow. It may not be easy at first, since your dog is already used to his favorite chow mix.
But introducing your new health grub in small amounts, then gradually increasing the portions can do the trick. Your Hugo will be eating your healthy new concoction in no time and with much gusto.
Make Your Own Dog Food Using All-Natural Ingredients
One of the most typical recipes for homemade dog food combines meat, vegetables, and grains into one appetizing meal. One such meal specifically from home made recipes for German Sheperds calls for such natural ingredients: 2 lbs hamburger, 10 oz shrimp or lobster, 1 cup raw liver, 1 boiled potato, 2 cups of rolled oats, ¼ cup blueberries, ½ cup brown rice, ¼ cup wheat germ, ¼ cup brewer's yeast and a tad of cinnamon.
Combine beef, boiled potato and shrimp or lobster and put all in a food processor. Crush the blueberries into a mushy fruit paste. Blend together all the ingredients and roll into a ball. This is meant to be fed fresh and raw.
Another one of those healthy, yet delectable recipes for home made dog food is an all-natural dog food which has the following ingredients: 8 cups oats, 2 cups brown rice, 6 cups barley, 2 lbs carrots (grated), 3-4 bunches of broccoli (stems grated and flowerettes chopped), 6 zucchini (grated) and ½ bunch parsley (chopped).
This treat is easy to make. Using two 8 quart stock pots cook the oats, while in another pot brown rice and barley. Then let cool, preferably over night. Chop the vegetables and puree using a food processor. Combine all the ingredients and shape into balls. Freeze for future consumption. This treat will have your dog begging for more and forgetting about dry tasteless dog food in an instant.
When you make your own dog food from recipes like these, keep in mind that when you're using natural ingredients, the food spoils easily so you must just make enough food that could last for a span of a few days - depending on the shelf-life of the ingredients.
Natural ingredients in dog foods are very beneficial in providing your dogs with the proper minerals, vitamins and other nutrients that he needs. When you make your own dog food you are in control of your dog's diet, so you are certain that your dog is getting all that he needs. So what are you waiting for? Get in that kitchen and whip your dog up the food he deserves.

Make Your Own Dog Food With These Easy-To-Do Recipes
A good way you can keep your dog healthy and away from the risk of an early trip to doggie heaven is to have control over his food. There are actually a lot of home made dog food recipes for German Sheperds and other dog breeds that can be healthy and tasty for their little doggy taste buds. These recipes for healthy dog food treats and meals contain all-natural ingredients that are free of preservatives and additives that can be harmful to the four-legged babies. Just remember that a balanced doggie meal contains protein, carbohydrates, vegetables and a good dose of fat.
One of the delectable home cooked dog food recipes that your pooch can chow on, is a yummy chicken meal. You will need: 2 chicken thighs or breasts (skinless), 1 stalk celery - sliced, 3 peeled and halved carrots, 2 potatoes that are peeled and cubed, 2 cups uncooked rice and 5-6 cups of water.
Put the chicken into a pot and cover with cold water. Add the celery, carrots and potatoes, and some salt to taste, into the pot. Simmer for about two hours, or until the chicken becomes tender. Add in the rice and cook in low heat for about 30 minutes more until the rice absorbs most of the liquid and is tender.
Remove the pot from heat. Careful not to get burned, take the meat off the chicken bone and when all the shredded chicken meat is in the pot, stir carefully and let cool before serving to your dog.
Another of those home made dog food recipes for German Sheperds that you can try is a mouth-watering beef mix. All you need is 2.5 kgs of ground beef (or lamb), brown rice, broccoli stalks and 3 potatoes.
Fry ground beef, in a pan until golden brown. Boil 4-5 cups of water then add broccoli. Meanwhile, add the potatoes to the frying pan, stir. Mix everything in the pot. Add pepper and serve with the brown rice.
Add a bit of sauce - literally - to your recipes for healthy dog food with this groovy doggie gravy. The ingredients are: 1 boneless and skinless chicken breast, 4 cups water, a cup of flour and 2 eggs (beaten). Boil chicken breast for about half an hour, then set aside the meat. Add flour to the chicken broth, whisking to make sure there are no lumps. Add beaten eggs. Cook until thick. Use a food processor to puree chicken meat, then add to the gravy. Refrigerate.
For dessert, make your own dog food frosty treat that will make your dog drool. Prepare these ingredients: 32 oz vanilla yogurt, 2 tbsp. Peanut butter, 1 mashed banana or a jar of baby food (fruit). In home cooked dog food recipes like this, all you have to do is blend together, and - voila - a doggie treat that's both healthy and yummy for your little angels.
With these easy recipes, you can make your own dog food, hassle-free and you will never have to worry about what your dog is eating ever again.

- My New Age Holistic Marin county veterinarian (in other words fancier care than I get for myself) suggested using a dog soup: green leafy vegetables: not onions, water and a protein source - like a can of tuna, or some left-over chicken.I will blend it and then either put it over the food or give it by itself. It really satisfies my dog, he just laps it up - and he doesn't gain excess weight.
