Learn How To Cook Healthy, Mouthwatering and Safe Meals For Puppies and Adult Dogs

Introduction

Imagine being a dog and eating the same boring kibble every day. If you’re lucky, your people may add a dash of warm water and a spoonful of pet minced meat to entice you to eat. You’re left wondering why you don’t get to partake in the wonderful aromas wafting from the kitchen when they make their dinner. In fact, you’re told the delicious-smelling food is not for dogs. Most puppies are weaned onto commercially made dog food as soon as they are old enough to need more than milk from their mothers. Many are scientifically formulated to meet your dog’s nutritional needs, and most dogs thrive on such a basic diet. However, some dogs won’t eat dehydrated dog food and others have a negative reaction to even the most expensive veterinarian-formulated pellets. Of course, as a dog lover, you want what’s best for your dog. If people are encouraged to eat less processed food free from additives, fillers, and preservatives, then surely dogs would also benefit from eating meals made from fresh ingredients. You can’t simply make an extra portion of whatever you’re eating. Dogs have unique nutritional requirements and some human foods are not suitable for them.

Carefully planned, fresh, homemade meals, lovingly prepared for your dog, offer several benefits for your best friend’s health and wellbeing. Lean meats, fish, legumes, a selection of dog-friendly vegetables, and a variety of grains supply a diversity of essential nutrients to keep your dog in tip-top shape. It is critical to ensure that the meals you prepare for your canine friend are nutritionally balanced for dogs. Unlike humans who need a wide variety of vegetables in their diet, for example, a dog’s gastrointestinal system doesn’t require as much dietary fiber for good health, and too much could cause digestive discomfort. Dogs need more protein and less carbohydrate and fat than people do. For dogs with special dietary requirements, homemade dog food ensures that you can avoid and manage conditions such as digestive issues, food allergies, and obesity. You can choose the ingredients most suited to your dog’s needs and preferences, and, as a plus, homemade dog food often works out cheaper than mass production food. Not only are the nutrients provided by the food you choose to prepare important, but you must also maintain high food-safety standards by taking the same amount of care when you cook and store your dog’s meals as you do for your own food.

Dogs are notorious for eating almost anything they find in the trash, on the side of the road, or something they dig up in the park. That doesn’t mean they have an iron-clad gut that is immune to food poisoning and spoiled food can still make them sick. Some human foods contain nutrients that are not beneficial for your dog. Foods such as chocolate, grapes, onion, macadamia nuts, and some herbs and spices are toxic to your canine companion. Consuming such foods can result in anything from a simple stomach upset to something more serious such as kidney failure. Therefore, it is critical to do your homework and become familiar with the types of foods your dog can and cannot eat. In the chapters that follow, you will find the answers to the most important questions about healthy homemade dog food. You will learn about your dog’s nutritional requirements, how to create a healthy meal plan for your best friend, which foods to include, which to avoid, and how to transition your dog onto a fresh food diet.

To make it simple, there is also a comprehensive choice of practical recipes that will make your best friend’s mouth water. Learn how to make tasty treats, hearty soups, protein-rich meat, fish, and vegan dishes your dog will love. Even if you have a fussy eater, a puppy with allergies, or an elderly dog with a health condition, you will find the guidance you need to ensure your beloved pet thrives on a diet of homemade dog food. Every dog needs love and a carefully crafted meal plan to ensure a healthy coat, strong bones and muscles, and shining eyes. Use the guidelines and recipes in this book to get your dog’s tail wagging when you say: “It’s dinner time!”
