3 Fundamentals of a Dog’s Homemade Diet
1. The importance of variety
Don’t limit yourself to just one recipe. Feed your dog a variety of foods, including chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, fish, and eggs. We also mean feeding your dog different parts, such as muscle meat and organ meats, when we say “variety.” Remember that different types of meat and cuts of meat have different nutrient profiles. Include a wide range of fruits and vegetables.
By varying what you feed your dog, you are providing a wider range of nutrients to your four-legged family member. It’s perfectly fine to have a few recipes that your dog eats on a regular basis. But don’t just serve one or two and leave the rest out.
2. Maintaining Balance Over Time
I’m pretty sure you don’t eat a complete and balanced meal every day of the year. Your dog, like us, does not have to eat a complete and balanced meal every single time. What matters is that their nutritional requirements are met over a period of days or weeks. Only if you feed your dog a single recipe should you be concerned about providing a complete and balanced meal every time. As a result, the first rule we mentioned, variety, is crucial.
3. Understand which ingredients are safe and which are not.
Some of the ingredients we use in our cooking are toxic to dogs. As a result, you should be aware of which ones are safe to use in your dog’s meals and which are not.
Onions, for example, are poisonous to dogs. As a result, never include onions in your dog’s homemade diet. Dogs are also poisoned by avocados, macadamia nuts, grapes, and raisins. You might be interested in the Dog Food Secrets 5th Edition, which includes a list of Safe Ingredients for Homecooked Meals for Dogs. That’s a great place to start, especially if you’re new to cooking for your dog.
So those are the three fundamental principles of a homemade diet for dogs. They’re quite simple!
Here’s wishing your dog good health, happiness, and a long life!
