By Geraldine Dimarco


They say that you can get a man's heart through feeding him good food. Well, they also say men are like dogs, right? Now, I don't know what that may mean to some but for this article, it simply means that dogs will be more affectionate towards you when you feed him yummy treats. There are several commercial pet food available but homemade dog treats are healthier and yummier for the animal.

Don't be too worried-it's not at all difficult to make delicious homemade canine fare. Really, there are easy homemade dog treats recipes available almost anywhere if you care to look for them. Find a well received canine website and they will likely have feature recipes and supplements that you can get for your own dog. These experts will help you in creating the perfect food plan for your pet.

Before anything else, you must go to the veterinarian and have your canine thoroughly checked for any disease or illness. This will help you determine what diet will be most appropriate for him. Sometimes the canine may have health issues that may be aggravated with certain kinds of food; so you must take care to avoid these things. On the other hand, you can correct some health concerns be serving supplements together with specific meals that will improve his over-all well-being.

Research the food you put in the meals you serve your pet. There are many food substances that are very harmful to the dog's system when ingested. Garlic in small quantities are beneficial to the canine; but when given in large quantities, will prove toxic to them. You should also avoid caffeine, grapes and nuts, citrus oils, baby food, onion, nuts, mushrooms and chocolates.

There is nobody who knows your dog more than you so observe his special preferences and find a way to work his meals around them. Generally it is recommended to serve a third of starch and two thirds meat and vegetables. Some people believe that raw food is ideal; but others go by cooking the food before they feed it to the animal. However way you go about it, make certain that the pieces are chopped small enough that it doesn't present a choking hazard to your pet.

Homemade dog treats can be served fresh or stored-for our convenience. If you want to store them, cook and combine all the ingredients and keep them in the freezer until needed. As we have mentioned earlier, dog food isn't all that complicated. It can be as easy as cutting up sausages into small chunks. Take them out of the fridge to thaw before feeding them to Fido.

When you want to start giving the animal homemade fare instead of the store-bought feed-make the transition gradually. Mix together the fresh and the processed, slowly increasing the ratio of the natural food until your pet is completely on this diet. Again, verify with the vet before you make any changes in the dog's diet.

As you can see, easy homemade dog treats are very doable. In fact, it is something all pet owners should know about. Browse the internet for great recipes you can make your pet-another level of fun awaits you and your expectant and happy doggie.
