Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: The Healthiest Dog Food Ever Made

How would you like to serve your dog natural,
fresh, nutritious and delicious dog food that you
lovingly create from home-made dog food recipes?
You see!, packaged dog food may be the main cause
of many illnesses that currently plague dogs; a
fact that doesn't surprise many dog owners when
they learn the truths about what manufacturers
use for their packaged dog food. Home-made dog
food is the best and healthiest option for the
pets that we care so much for.

Here are some startling facts about packaged dog
food. A carcinogen or cancer causing agent known
as ethoxyquin is a common dog food preservative.
In some instances it doesn't have to be listed on
the ingredients label, so you won't even know if
it is there. This is all to do with the purchase
of fats which pet food companies use to make the
food more appealing to dogs. If the fat comes
from a company that uses ethoxyquin as a
preservative, they don't have to list it on the
ingredient label. This is perfectly legal, and
the reason they don't have to list it is because
they don't add it to the fat in the bag. This
means they are under no legal obligation to tell
you.

Then we come to an additive called propylene
glycol that is used as a binder in many dog foods
and dog treats currently available on the market.
Recent research revealed that propylene glycol
causes cancer in cats, and so it is no longer
used in cat foods and treats. However, it is
still being added to dog consumables, and
shockingly this is perfectly legal.

Making your own home-made dog food gives you the
benefit of knowing exactly what you're feeding
your pet. You can also keep a close eye on
portion sizes and the amounts and types of
proteins, fats and carbohydrates that your dog is
consuming.

Many healthy foods like bananas, honey, peanut
butter, vegetables, apples, and pumpkins are
excellent ingredients for a wonderful home-made
dog food not forgetting recipes that contain cuts
of fresh meats like beef, chicken, turkey, and
fish such as tuna and halibut.

A healthy and simple to follow dog food recipe
ensures you keep harmful foods out of your dog's
diet while some of your leftovers may seriously
damage your pet's health. For example, avocados
are toxic to dogs. They contain a chemical
compound called persin that is known to cause
vomiting and loose stools in dogs. Other foods
that are toxic to dogs are citrus oil, chocolate,
caffeine, grapes, hops, and yeast dough.

Healthy home-made diets can help dogs in so many
ways. If your pet is ill and has been prescribed
a special diet, a home-made meal is a boon for a
good recovery. If it is in training for a
competition, freshly prepared meals are going to
provide greater quantities of proteins and
calories than commercial, shop-bought brands. And
if you have a dog that is allergic to packaged
dog food or cannot fully digest them, then making
their food yourself is the only sensible option.

However, for most people, the decision to feed
their dogs fresh, home-made meals is made when
they realize that exposing their pet to the
chemicals, preservatives, and artificial
flavorings found in commercial dog foods poses
too great a health risk to their faithful
companion.
