We aren’t here to tell you what to do. All humans are different, just like all dogs are different, one diet doesn’t work for all humans, and one way of preparing food doesn’t work for all types of dogs. We are here to give you options! To open your mind and to generate questions! So let’s discuss why homemade dog food might be a good fit for you and your fur baby! Then we will give you 56 homemade dog food recipes. A lot of different factors draw people to try a new food, or new food preparation for their dog, especially if your dog is sick or has irritable bowel

syndrome or something of the like. Switching from store bought food might be your answer You are probably going to get better quality food by buying and cooking it yourself. This ensures that you know where your meat is coming from and that it is fresh. When thinking about your homemade dog food recipes keep in mind that organic and grass fed animals are going to be the best quality of meat to consume; but don’t feel bad if you don’t have the means for that, it is not necessary and the fact that you care and are conscious of what your dog is eating is the most important! Making your own dog food ensures that your dog isn’t consuming artificial ingredients and vitamins, such as vitamin K3, which is the artificial version of vitamin K1. Vitamins K3 can cause serious health risks You also don’t want your pup eating meat-by-products. Source: http://www.doksinet So what ingredients should make up your homemade dog food? Top Dog Food Proteins Meat should make up at least half of

the diet of your dog, especially white meat, unless your dog is incredibly active! Bones are often fed to dogs, but just remember that some say you should not feed your dogs cooked bones. Salmon Salmon is a great meat to either add to your already made, natural store bought, dog food or to incorporate into your homemade recipe. Salmon is said to be one of the healthiest things you can add to your dog’s food, it is filled with zinc and a lot of nutrients your dog needs. Fish provides vitamin D, which is an essential part of the diet. If you are not feeding your dogs fish then the vitamin should be supplemented. Liver Feeding small amounts of liver daily is recommended. Beef or chicken liver would be a great ingredient to throw into your homemade dog food recipe. Generally speaking, add about one ounce of liver per pound of other animal products. Eggs Eggs are incredibly nutritious! If your dog is about 20 pounds they can eat a whole egg a day, smaller dogs can still have eggs just not

so much at one time. Throw in the eggshells too- blended of course. Eggshells provide a ton of nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. Yogurt Plain yogurt, keifir, cottage cheese, and ricotta cheese are all healthy for your dog too! Other types of cheeses have a little too much fat in them, which is why most people prefer cottage and ricotta cheese. Source: http://www.doksinet Top Dog Food Vegetables / Starches There are a list of fruits and veggies that you can incorporate into your homemade dog food recipe. Starchy veggies are good for dogs that need help keeping some meat on their bones, but should be given in moderation to dogs that are heavier set. Starchy foods have to be cooked in order for them to be digestible. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, pumpkin, and legumes are all great options. Leafy greens are low in calories and can be fed in any quantity! However please note, too much can cause gas. Broccoli and cauliflower are good for dogs,

however it is recommended that if you are feeding in large portions to cook them, as they can suppress thyroid function. Bananas, apples, berries, melon and papaya are all safe and healthy choices, but do not feed your dogs grapes or raisins because that can cause kidney failure. Grains: Proceed With Caution Grains are controversial. Some dogs can handle them, some dogs can’t They may contribute to inflammation caused by allergies, arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease, seizures, and other problems. So proceed with caution if adding them to your homemade dog food recipe. It is not clear if starchy veggies do the same A lot of homemade dog food recipes call for rice, you can always nix it out if feeding your dog grains makes you nervous. Grains and starchy veggies should not make up any more than half the diet. Source: http://www.doksinet Supplements are another important part of any homemade dog food recipe. Calcium, fish oil, cod liver oil, plant oil, vitamin D, vitamin E,

Iodine and green blends are all recommended that your dog get some of in part of his/her diet. Most of these vitamins are found in the foods that you would be feeding your dog, it’s hard to know exactly how much to give your dog and it’s hard to keep track. Feeding your dog can be viewed similarly to feeding a child. It’s important that your (human) child gets the vitamins and minerals needed, but it isn’t crucial that the child get every little vitamin and mineral in every little thing you feed them. Same goes for dogs. The AAFCO provides nutrition requirements that dog food brands must meet, but it is said that those requirements are the very minimal for your dog to survive. Your goal with feeding a homemade diet to your pup is to find a balance of meeting the minimal requirements to keeping your dog alive and to over feeding and giving too much of these vitamins and minerals. There is a common goal between most pet owners: to give your dog a long, healthy life; and switching

over to a homemade regime is in an effort to do that. Source: http://www.doksinet *Please Note All of the recipes below are not for a single serving of dog food, a serving of dog food is generally one cup of food, so please measure out the food before you serve. All the below recipes must be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, most recipes are generally good for seven days after cooking, any time after that they should stay in the freezer for no longer than three months. All recipes and portions must be tailored to fit the needs of your special pup!
