Make dog food out of?
Lots of people wonder what dog food is made out of, and if it’s actually healthy for their dogs to eat. You might be surprised to learn that there are lots of different options out there that can make great dog food, and ingredients like fruits and vegetables are often added to balance out the rest of the diet. In fact, by choosing different combinations of ingredients, you can ensure that your dog gets all the nutrients they need from their food without being over-or under-nourished in any area.
Proteins
Meats and meat byproducts (including intestines, lungs, spleens, livers, and feet) are high in protein but low in fat. These are ideal for overweight dogs who need to cut weight quickly. In addition to being a good source of protein, these meats also supply some B vitamins, zinc, and iron. They’re often recommended for dogs with allergies or skin conditions because they contain fewer ingredients than commercial foods.
Fats
there are many different types, such as corn oil and peanut oil. Lard, shortening, butter, and other animal fats can also be used in small amounts in dog foods All fat-containing products should be purchased from a reputable supplier. Never use grease from your own kitchen to feed dogs.
Carbohydrates
If a pet has a thyroid problem, diabetes, or kidney disease, his veterinarian might recommend that he eat only low-carbohydrate diets. Although some commercial pet foods include high-carbohydrate fruits and vegetables for their nutritional value, these items often don’t provide enough nutrition for an animal to maintain a healthy weight. Instead, those extra carbs could be used by bacteria in your pet’s digestive tract to produce acids that eventually lead to diarrhea and other stomach problems.
Vitamins and Minerals
You should be getting most of your vitamins and minerals from your daily diet. For example, you get vitamin C from fruit, and calcium from milk. However, if you are not doing so already or cannot get enough vitamins and minerals through regular foods then it is good to look at a supplement. These supplements come in many forms – pills, powders, and chewable.
