Pet Food Recall – Home-Cooked Dog Food Recipe
Dog Food Recipe
In the wake of the recent pet food recalls, the idea of home-cooked pet food has grown in appeal to many dog owners. The idea of home cooked food is great, just be careful in that you should do your due diligence in that dogs have unique nutritional needs.
There are also many human foods that a dog should not have and are detrimental to your dogs’ health. Food items like onions or chocolate are NOT on the list of foods to feed your dog. Many foods that humans love to eat can be deadly if ingested by pets.
As well, be careful to not feed your dog too much food. Like us, a few “scraps” in the light of giving some special treats to your dog can cause too many pounds which is also a health concern.
If you decide to feed home-made human grade food to your dog as a supplement or as their regular diet to stay away from the dangers of the ever increasing dog food recall here is a recipe you can safely feed your dog. Make sure to have fresh water available as well as provide the recommended amount of exercise for your dog to ensure a healthy happy dog that is part of your family for years to come.
