When I was working towards my master’s degree in nutrition, I tried to write papers about dog nutrition whenever possible. Below is a section of one of my papers, focusing on the risks of commercial pet food.
We have a lot to think about! Work, school, daily responsibilities … why put any thought about what you feed your dog? The simple, easy answer is: What you put into your dog’s body affects him or her, for better or worse. This is both a short term and long term issue.
Why is it that we humans are encouraged to eat a variety of healthy, whole foods? Like meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, oils and more? And yet, when it comes to our dogs, we are encouraged to NOT feed them that way?
Sometimes, it’s hard to know who to rely on when seeking information about homemade dog food plans. There is so much information available. Some is useful, some is confusing, some is overwhelming… you get the idea.
Sometimes, I will hear people talk about their dogs being ‘picky.’ While it is absolutely true that dogs have their own food preferences, just like we do. But it could mean a couple important things.
Well, homemade dog food has done it again, thanks to a healthy, homemade diet and the care of a stellar holistic vet I collaborate with. She took great care of this little dog, Mikey, and recommends healthy homemade food for pets.
February 20 is National Love Your Pet Day! One of the best ways to love and support your dog’s health is with good, nutritious food.
