Dog Health | Natural Dog Food Recipes

I feed my dog natural dog food recipes, because the dog food industry is still evolving. Human food has evolved in so many ways. Various countries have their own foods like the hamburger (United States) or tacos (Mexico). Further evolution in The United States food can be seen in dishes like pig ears (soul food). The dog food industry has evolved to dry and canned. In 1994 a panel of experts in Las Vegas reported that dogs needed antioxidants in their diets and dog food did not have antioxidants. The panel went on to say that it would take years for dog food makers to correct this problem. What? That is what I said. When I found this out I knew I had to feed my dog a diet with an array of foods so I would know he was getting all the nutrients to maintain good health. This meant I would have to come up with some natural dog food recipes. I researched and came up with a dish hear and there, but I am going to give you a few recipes here and tell you where to go to get more dishes. I only wish I had it so easy years ago.
