Is Homemade Dog Food the Way to Go?


With the pet food recall crisis worrying a lot of pet owners some have even started making their own pet food.But we have to be careful that we give our pets nutritionally balanced diet.As more pet owners prepare homemade dog food whether raw or cooked it is important to watch that you feed your dog with a balanced diet.

A few pointers if you intend to make your own dog food:

* If you give your pet raw pet food be careful about the handling and cleanliness to avoid bacteria.

* Nutritional supplements are recommended as part of the raw food diet.Dogs require 38 nutrients daily.Consult a nutritional expert.

* Be sure that if bone is part of the raw pet food then finely grind it to avoid jagged pieces.
* If you are not sure of the raw pet food then cook the food.

* Homemade dog food is a good way to feed your dog.But make sure the recipes are tailored for your dog's age,food sensitivity and health.
* Avoid certain foods such as onion,garlic,chocolate and grapes which are toxic to dogs.
This guide "Healthy Food for Dogs: Homemade Recipes" will provide you with over 240 balanced homemade dog food recipes.

There are products being sold everywhere [internet.classifieds,garage sales, etc.] that do not conform to safety standards!!!
I was constantly searching websites to make myself aware!!!
That was until I joined totalrecallinfo.com!!!
They alert me daily about recalls worldwide. No longer must I sit at my screen for hours.
Although you may think CPSC, NHTSA, etc. has you covered, nothing could be farther from the truth.
Not only do they make you aware of daily recalls, they offer 1 on 1 service, for hard to find recalls...
For the month of July, totalrecallinfo.com would like you to compare our weekly list, to what you can remember hearing about...Use ''preview'' as username and password to see recent recalls...
Not only do they cover consumer products, vehicles, atv's, etc. but also food, drugs,etc...
KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE, 1 DAY AT A TIME

I'd still love to feed my pet with home made food.One reason is they are feeling healthy and other is I got fixed income and would like some recipes to try for my dogs. I suspect it would be more cost effective to stay on dog food, however these dogs are older strays who love people food.
