Home Made Dog Food Lets You Control The Ingredients
It is a very good feeling to know that you have confidence in each and every bite of food that goes in your dog's mouth. When you make your own home made dog food, you can be assured that your dog is only eating high quality foods that meet his exact nutritional needs. You can also be confident that the food he is eating doesn't carry any contaminated ingredients or extra animal parts that aren't listed on a bag's ingredients list.
Most commercial dog foods contain unneeded ingredients that hold little nutrition for your dog. These ingredients are meant to be filler that simply makes him full. Upon close inspection you will see that the main ingredient of most main stream dog foods is corn. All that corn does is serve to fill your dog up and often will upset his digestive system.
When you make your own dog food, you can put in only the ingredients that you know your dog will thrive on. You can give your dog rice, meat, and even vegetables in the proper proportions, ensuring health to your canine friend.
Home Made Dog Food Can Save You Money
If you enjoy cooking and often make dinner for your family, you will find it is easy and economical to add a portion of food for your dog into the preparations for your family's meal. Dogs shouldn't eat table scraps. There are many things that go into human food that really aren't good for a dog. While you should never just dish your dog up a plate of whatever you are having, it is possible to change the way you prepare a portion of your food. If you are making hamburger patties for your family, make one for your dog without the seasoning. You can even add a few spoonfuls of rice to the patty or serve it crumbled up over a dish of rice. Just remember to keep your dogs food bland and you can share a lot of the same ingredients.
