Homemade dog food is not a new thing for dogs, just like homemade treats for humans. There are several reasons why people would want to produce their own dog foods. Some people may just love having fresh ingredients: fresh fruits, vegetables, and protein. Many dogs prefer this kind of diet, which means that some raw materials, such as grains, and fats.
and proteins, are more easily absorbed by their digestive systems and used by their bodies. Moreover, many times you can add flavorings to it with natural or processed herbs or spices.
So how about making sure you get good quality and healthy ingredients? Well, it all depends on what type of dog you have. Here we can give you some examples and tips to follow if you want to build a delicious homemade dog food!
Choosing the Right Ingredients
What should be in your homemade dog food? We can give you a couple of things to consider when choosing these ingredients:
The size of your pup is one of the most important factors to consider. Small animals need smaller portions of raw materials and the same goes for large breeds. So try to ensure that you select the right amount of nutrients for each size of dog! Make sure that you’re not going to feed too much on their large portions because their metabolism rate is lower.
You can use low-quality protein. To reduce the risk of poisoning, they prefer high-quality ingredients, so choose wisely and choose the best quality for the dog you’ve got! You want to stay away from raw meat! Our recipes are made of beef, chicken, and fish. On the other hand, they don’t like lamb, ham, or pork! In case you want to make something different, make sure that you use organic and humanely treated eggs as well as different supplements for the animal.
You can also think about the size of the recipe and how many ingredients. A small dog needs less quantity and more variety. When cooking they prefer a more moderate amount of proteins, such as egg or milk protein. But when feeding a big puppy it prefers high-quality ingredients like ketchup, sausage, etc. Choose carefully. Don’t forget about healthful veggies. They like carrots, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, zucchini,
spinach, onions, asparagus, cabbage, tomato, parsley, kale, and other greens. For some, there can be no substitute for fresh vegetables. Look for frozen ones because they like the fresh taste and the fact that they last longer. And don’t forget about the water! Dogs love drinking lots of water and they like it hot and cold.
You can also find the ideal proportions for your pooch. The larger his/her body is, the higher the required quantity of nutrients. Also, remember about his breed and where he lives. If you’ve got puppies then you should choose a puppy breed for them:
- Siberian Husky,
- Golden Retriever,
- Boxer,
- French Bulldog,
- Chow Chow,
- German
- Shepherd,
- Labrador Retriever,
- Beagle,
- Jack Russell Terrier etc.
Just be careful regarding what he eats: He’s more inclined to eat meats and vegetables, but he can also eat whole eggs, bread, and cheese. What do you want the recipes to be? Try to look for some recipes with simple ingredients – no more than 10-12 ingredients (or half).
Think about the colors you want: yellow, green and orange, light red, brown, lavender, black and chocolate, or olive and turmeric. That’s the beauty of homemade dog food!
Here are the main points to pay attention to:
Organic food is always healthier. No matter what kind of food you make, its freshness makes up for the added weight, which sometimes makes dogs overweight. Organic food contains more nutrients and less fat. The same thing goes for dog foods as well, since there are no added sugar and additives – just pure ingredients.
There’s the possibility of adding fresh garlic to some recipes, or maybe mint leaves, fresh lemon juice, etc.
Just make sure that you use appropriate seasoning for each dish to avoid any unwanted complications.
Try to include vegetables, fruits, nuts, and other sources from fresh. Fresh foods contain the needed vitamins, minerals, and energy. Plus, fresh is safer and easier to digest than canned products. However, they may contain calories and may cause bloating.
Make sure to buy locally grown products. Although they can taste better, they will definitely add up. Buy the food in your area and if you don’t have enough money, buy two or three. Fresh may cost more, but it’s worth it. Always pay attention to the nutritional content of our Dog food!
Nowadays we know how harmful dogs are when it comes to obesity and overfeeding. The quality of raw material, freshness, and nutrition can have a huge impact on the health of pets, which doesn’t come from freshness alone. Healthy food is a luxury for this wonderful creature and we hope that by doing the above-mentioned tips you can save your furry friend from the bad old habit of stuffing their belly. Good luck! And make sure that all of you follow our advice to prevent the development of your pet’s metabolism! Happy eating! Cheers to happy meals!
