Have you ever considered the dog foods you are buying your pet? So many choices and it can be confusing: canned, dry, fresh, frozen, organic, raw, homemade or BARF? I would be confused too just reading these possibilities. Which company is making it? Has the manufacturer had any recalls? When? These are just a few of the questions you may consider before buying your next batch of food for your animal. Being educated is the best way to make wiser choices with your money.
"Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms"
George Eliot
We have owned dogs for over 40 years and look to know anything about the food we buying. We thought all dog food was created equal just different manufacturer. About 10 years ago we got serious with our adopted Molly. I became involved in a food coop helping save money on buying meat products for the dog. I was exposed to people who knew more than I did about healthy dog food. This is why today I am serious about what goes into her mouth.
Some readers may think that dogs are born to be vegans. I am not here to debate this. I believe it is a choice and I am doing what I believe is best for "my" dog. I won't judge others choices nor argue which is healthier: vegan, vegetarian or raw food diets. Research is always best to help you decide and I suggest never believe just one source.
I knew nothing about caring for a dog other than feeding and walking her. Both myself and husband were always responsible owners. Back in the days of our first one, we started off buying dry bagged food and canned meat. What did we know never exposed to dogs? We didn't have any guidance other than ourselves and what the vet told us. I felt like we were like the "blind leading the blind." Each "pooch" we had responded well to our choices without health problems. They all lived to be old. However, times have changed, and so has the food manufacturing.
With the massive amount of pet manufacturers recalls we opted to go with a more natural dog approach. Why? We figured since we ate a natural organic diet our dog deserves this. It did save us a lot of money in vet bills. However we don't eat animal products so there is no competition between us or the "angel" as I call her.
An authority speaks out...
According to Dr. Wendell O. Belfield, D.V.M.: "Rendering plants process decomposing animal carcasses, large roadkill and euthanised dogs and cats into a dry protein product that is sold to the pet food industry. One small plant in Quebec, Ontario, renders 10 tons (22,000 pounds) of dogs and cats per week. The Quebec Ministry of Agriculture states that "the fur is not removed from dogs and cats" and that "dead animals are cooked together with viscera, bones and fat at 115° C (235° F) for 20 minutes".
What does your dog eat?
Just reading Dr. Belfield's findings is enough to convince me that preparing my own fresh, raw meats as well as some cooked daily, is my best option. I have been doing this for about 10 years. She loves fish and gets that too. She eats mainly organics or grass fed meats, organic vegetables, supplements her diet and is monitored carefully by our vet for deficiencies.
Now that spring is around the corner I am thinking of natural dog gardening for her veggies. I can grow carrots and beets and keep them in the ground all year. I can also plant other vegetables she can eat in season right outside my backdoor.
I am not saying toss the dog food, but use your own judgment on what you want to expose your animal too. There are always recalls to be found for dogs, including treats. Newspapers and online are accessible for these findings.
I love my dog and want the best food to go into her body. It may be more expensive, but it's a choice and/or decision. I am investing in her great health and longevity. She recently recovered from Lupus!
Are you convinced to change or read the labels more often?
It's easier for me to not second guess and making my own is peace of mind at this point. How would you know if they are? A list of some additives "accepted" in animal feed and pet foods are below.
Color additives
Flavor enhancers
Flavoring agents
Lubricants
Palatants
Pelleting agents and binders
Preservatives
Stabilizers
Sweeteners

If you owned a pet during the 2007 pet food recall, you understand all too well why so many people are making their own dog food these days. And it is not hard to do or as expensive as you may think.
Why preparing your dog's food at home could be a better choice:
Most of us strive to provide the very best for our dogs. We make sure they get plenty of exercise, training, love and attention, tend to their medical needs, keep them safe, and believe to be feeding them pet food that is nutritious and wholesome. But are we? Commercial dog foods use preservatives, dyes, chemicals, fillers, animal by-products, corn, soy, additives, artificial flavors, and so on. And it is these ingredients, as well as some others, which are making our pets sick and slowly killing them. Pet food companies might have great ad campaigns depicting a yummy wholesome meal for our dogs, but have you read the ingredients?
This is why so many people have decided to take matters in their own hands. It's the best way to know what goes into your dog's food. By preparing homemade dog food recipes right in our own kitchens, we know we are feeding our dogs fresh foods and ingredients, without the use of preservatives, artificial ingredients, or any other contaminates that can harm our dogs.
Preparing homemade meals for your dog is easy and fast:
If you don't think you have time to cook for your pet, think again. It's super easy to do and you can make a big batch of food, separate daily food portions into freezer bags, and then thaw out as needed. Just be sure you use fresh vegetables or frozen - never canned vegetables.
Chicken Dinner Recipe for Dogs
2 pounds of boiled chicken meat finely chopped (no skin or bones)
1 cup cooked carrots finely chopped
6 potatoes boiled, peeled, and mashed
1 cup of cooked lentils
2 cups of fresh green beans steamed and chopped (or use frozen)
Finely chop and mash together cooked vegetables or simply mix them all together in a food processor. Then stir in the chopped chicken and separate portions into freezer bags until ready to use.
More homemade dog food recipes: You can come up with lots of recipes by using some other ingredients like turkey, brown rice, oats, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, green beans, squash, and peas.
Avoid using the following grains as they have been linked to food allergies: wheat, corn, and soy.
Final tips: Always consult your veterinarian about the nutritional requirements for your dog. Be sure to provide a variety of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Familiarize yourself with the foods that are not safe for dogs to eat (chocolate, macadamia nuts, grapes, raisins, onions, citrus fruits, cold cuts, mushrooms, fatty foods, and cooked bones). Also, when changing your dog's diet, go slow. Too quick of a change can upset their digestive tract causing diarrhea.
Our dogs depend on us to care for their health and safety. Be a responsible dog owner. Get all the facts about feeding your dog and then make an informed decision. Don't take for granted that the commercial dog food you are feeding your treasured friend is healthy because of their fancy ad campaigns.
Always consult your veterinarian before making drastic changes to your dog's diet. Any current health issues, breed, and life stages will play a part in determining the nutritional needs of your dog.
