Feeding Your Dog Naturally


Recent recalls of deadly contaminations in commercial pet food
had made preparing homemade dog food the best option for your pet's health. There are no additives, chemicals or preservatives.

Your family and your pets can eat the same fresh wholesome food that you buy at the grocery store. It is no more expensive than premium commercial dog food and can extend the life of your pet. This way you are sure to know what ingredients your pet is getting in his/her dinner every day.

To keep your pet healthy, fit and active they need three main wholesome ingredients daily. As most of us know, meat is the most important food for dogs.

Starches and vegetables are also essential ingredients in your pet's daily diet. My dogs prefer pasta, but rice is also a good healthy choice.

Cooked, mashed carrots are a natural way to sweeten the meal.

A healthy nutritious mix of 40% meat, 30% starch, and 30% vegetables is the best way to get premium quality suppers to your pets.

When shopping for my family I buy the same wholesome foods for the human members as well as my canine friends at the same time.

Raw garlic and onions can be toxic to dogs, so never feed this to them. Keep in mind also that raisins, grapes and chocolate can be harmful to your dog.

Making your own homemade dog treats are easy and actually good for your pets, as they do not contain preservatives and chemicals. How can you go wrong when you are giving your pet a home made treat that is delicious and good for them. No unhealthy fattening sugar, fat or fillers, only pure nutritious ingredients.

Keeping your pet healthy, energetic and happy is acheived by proper nutrition. A lot of commercial food has been documented to show that there are unhealthy, inedible fillers and toxins in them.

Consider the benefits of increased life span. That alone is worth switching your dog's diet. Extra years to enjoy the love and companionship of your best friend are the big payoff in the end.
