One of the difficult tasks that you face as a dog owner is choosing what food to give your dog. This is one of the most common questions I receive everyday from readers. When you step inside any pet store or any supermarket to buy your dog’s dog food, you are immediately bombarded by mountains of colorful, well decorated and eye catching commercial dog food.
Some people decide on a certain dog food because of its catchy name, clever advertising or because of all the adjectives like
“super”, “champion” and “complete”. But let me ask you this;
When was the last time you really read and understood the dog food’s label properly?
Are you aware of all the contents of what you’re feeding your dog?
Are you aware of what common human foods we eat that can seriously harm or even kill your dog?
Are you sure he/she is receiving the proper nutrients?
Remember that not all dog foods contain the right amount of nutrients to nourish your dog which is why vigilance is a necessity
when choosing the right dog food for your dog. Many dogs get canine diseases because of malnutrition that could and does result in early deaths.
Not all dog foods contain enough nutrients that can truly nourish your dog. So, if you truly want to give the best dog food for your dog you
have 2 options; first is to research the commercially made dog food carefully and the second is to make your own healthy dog food.
Since I have been receiving a lot of suggestions from you all about recipes of healthy homemade dog food, today I will be giving you

Fresh, holistic dog food doesn’t have to be fancy or difficult.
It just has to be made from fresh ingredients, served
immediately, and kept for no more than three days in the

Dogs don’t usually like cold food, so when serving their dinner,
leave the dish out till it can be served at room temperature.
