Natural Dog Food At Home

There are many unhealthy chemicals that are added to commercial dog foods. These chemicals build up in your dog's system over time and eventually cause stomach, spleen, and liver cancer.

Not only that, the meat that is used in the food can include road kill and euthanized animals. There is little regulation of dog food companies, so the companies can put virtually anything in the food and call it "healthy" with no consequence...except to your dog.

With natural dog food at home, there are no deadly toxins given on a daily basis.

The dog food you buy in the store has a certain mix of vitamins and nutrients that aren't always right for every dog. When you make your own natural dog food, you provide natural proteins, vitamins, and minerals straight from the source.

The vegetables that you put into the food will provide the natural vitamins, minerals, and fiber that your dog needs to stay healthy. You can also add a vitamin supplement to add to the already loaded diet that you provide.

There are no preservatives in your homemade natural dog food. Just healthy all natural ingredients that your dog will love!

You've said it..."Man, I have to go get some more dog food today. Didn't we just buy some a couple weeks ago?" You can easily spend $100's per month to feed your dog. Especially when you buy "decent" canned dog food.

When you buy pre-cooked food for yourself, it costs more right? The same goes for your dog's food. You pay a premium for that convenience. You can easily cook a couple weeks of food for your dog at a fraction of the cost in 30 minutes or less.

Every dog has different preferences. Just as people do. One dog may love squash, but hate broccoli. While another may love broccoli, but hate squash.

You can tell by what is left in the bowl after feeding. You just simply omit those ingredients the next time you make a batch of natural dog food at home.

Most of your cooking will be done in small portions in the beginning to find that perfect combination of ingredients that will make your dog love meal time.

1. When you first make the switch to natural dog food at home, you must substitute 25% of your regular dog food with the new food for at least a week. Increase this by 25% each week. This will help your dog's digestive system adapt to the new food. They don't thrive on variety like humans do. Changing food too fast may lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and gas.

2. If you feed 2 cups per meal, feed 2 cups per meal. Use an actual measuring cup to serve your natural dog food. Don't use that 64 oz. drink cup from the convenience store as a "cup." A large part of being healthy is eating proper portions of food.

3. Feed your dog at the same time each day. Dogs thrive on routine. Everyone knows that life happens. Try not to stray from your normal feeding time more than 30 minutes.
