Try Homemade Dog Food and Biscuits

By Jennifer D. Fuchs

If you follow the news you are certainly aware of the recent scares regarding commercial pet food and the recalls involved. The commercial pet food and treats that were recalled contained harmful fillers. But even commercial dog food that is deemed safe still contains ingredients that you might not want your dog to eat. These include artificial colors and flavors and preservatives.

Dubious ingredients in dog food is understandably a great concern to many pet owners however, what you may not know is that there is an alternative to buying commercial dog food at all. Homemade dog food and biscuits or other doggy treats, are simple to make and very worthwhile.

Cooking your dog's meals is not hard. In fact it is likely to be easier than cooking for your family! The same basic techniques for making your own food are used for making homemade dog food and biscuits, although of course the latter will be flavored with such unusual flavors as beef or chicken. Homemade dog food and biscuits contains wonderfully nutritious ingredients, prepared and selected by you such as meat and fresh vegetables.

When you prepare homemade dog food and biscuits you can rest assured that your dog is eating healthy food made with fresh and choice ingredients. These recipes contain ingredients that people consume so the food your dog will be receiving will be of the same quality as the food you and your family is eating.

Make sure you know your dog's food preferences before you start making your own homemade dog food and biscuits. Inspect his eating habits and observe what food he likes and what he doesn't. Doing so would save you time and money too as you'd know what ingredients to include and what not in your homemade dog food and biscuits. If you're aware that your dog doesn't even touch turkey, you would obviously not waste your money to buy it.

Making homemade dog food and biscuits is the sign of an owner who truly cares. The higher quality of ingredients used is a worthwhile investment in your dog's health, and will be noticeable in his vitality, energy, glossy coat and happiness.

You will probably wonder why you ever bought commercially made dog food in the first place once you get into the habit of making your own homemade dog food and biscuits. You like knowing what is in the food you eat and serve to your family, don't you? Since your dog is a member of the family, you should know what is in the food he's eating too.
