Homemade Dog Food Recipes


Cooking for Your Canine After Pet Food Recall


漏 Joy Butler





The best way to know what goes into your dog鈥檚 food is to make it yourself. With the recent pet food recall, many pet owners are doing just that. Though some experts argue that a homemade diet is best for dogs, this is best done temporarily until you can consult your veterinarian, as canines have definite nutritional requirements. Dietary changes should be done slowly to avoid digestive upsets. Recipes or ingredients may be rotated to ensure nutritional variety.





Do not feed your dog bones, especially cooked bones. Fragments can become lodged in the digestive tract. Canines in the wild who eat bones have the benefit of consuming hair and hide too, which have been found to 鈥榩ad鈥?the bone fragments and aid in their passing. Other foods to avoid that are dangerous for dogs are chocolate, avocados, mushrooms, macadamia nuts, grapes, raisins, onions, and garlic.





Try one of these easy dog food recipes and watch your pup smile.

The Best Doggy Biscuits





INGREDIENTS


2 cups whole wheat flour


1 cup cornmeal


1 tablespoon salt


1/3 cup vegetable oil


1 egg


1 cup water





DIRECTIONS


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.


In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, cornmeal and salt. Mix in the oil, egg and water to make a soft dough that is not too sticky. You may add more flour if needed. Roll teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten slightly.


Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until nicely browned and firm. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container.


Stir together and serve at room temperature. A good doggy multivitamin/mineral supplement may be added for good measure. Be sure to store unused portions in a covered container in the refrigerator and discard remains after 3 days.Hey dog lovers, any delicious recipes i could make for my dog?

All i do is have maybe a 1/3cup chicken stock (dry)


Cup of plain flour


1/3 cup corn flour


some of her dog pellets


an egg, pre-whisked


and about a 1/3cup of water (not milk otherwise pup could get sick)


and somtimes if she's lucky some bacon chopped up


and some cheese somtimes


After that, i just put the oven on at 180dC, and give it maybe 15 mins, or till theyre done.
