Dog Food Review - Easy Homemade Dog Treats

By Geraldine Dimarco


They say that you can get a man's heart through feeding him good food. Well, they also say men are like dogs, right? Now, I don't know what that may mean to some but for this article, it simply means that dogs will be more affectionate towards you when you feed him yummy treats. There are several commercial pet food available but homemade dog treats are healthier and yummier for the animal.

Don't be too worried-it's not at all difficult to make delicious homemade canine fare. Really, there are easy homemade dog treats recipes available almost anywhere if you care to look for them. Find a well received canine website and they will likely have feature recipes and supplements that you can get for your own dog. These experts will help you in creating the perfect food plan for your pet.

You need to get your pet to the veterinarian to be examined before you begin any diet. The check-up will show if he has any disease that you must know about. Some health issues need specific care with regard to the nutrition the canine requires. Certain food may further impair any abnormality that must be avoided at all costs. On the other hand, you can give supplements and particular food groups that will improve and correct health issues.

Research the food you put in the meals you serve your pet. There are many food substances that are very harmful to the dog's system when ingested. Garlic in small quantities are beneficial to the canine; but when given in large quantities, will prove toxic to them. You should also avoid caffeine, grapes and nuts, citrus oils, baby food, onion, nuts, mushrooms and chocolates.

Nobody knows your pet like you do so take special note of his particular taste in food and look for ways to satisfy his palate. It is recommended that 1/3 of his meal is starch based while 2/3 are meat, with healthy servings of vegetables and fruit mixed in. Some people prefer to serve the meat raw; while some believe cooking them thoroughly is important. Either way, make sure that the pieces are cut into small enough pieces to eliminate the possibility of the dog choking on his food.

Homemade dog treats can be served fresh or stored-for our convenience. If you want to store them, cook and combine all the ingredients and keep them in the freezer until needed. As we have mentioned earlier, dog food isn't all that complicated. It can be as easy as cutting up sausages into small chunks. Take them out of the fridge to thaw before feeding them to Fido.

When you want to start giving the animal homemade fare instead of the store-bought feed-make the transition gradually. Mix together the fresh and the processed, slowly increasing the ratio of the natural food until your pet is completely on this diet. Again, verify with the vet before you make any changes in the dog's diet.

Easy homemade dog treats are something every pet owner can do. They are healthy and delicious-something your dog will surely enjoy. Browse around for the best recipes and discover a whole new dimension of fun in you and your canine's relationship today.
