Diets dogs that are homemade using organic ingredients are really good for dogs. Commercial foods usually put food coloring in your dog’s food and preservatives, which makes the food look good, but it is unhealthy for your dog. Although homemade dog food is good, some foods that humans eat are bad for dogs.
The preservatives added to commercial food items may not be suitable for dogs from a health point of view. Even in the case of renal diseases in dogs, homemade diets may be made with ground beef, slices of bread, calcium carbonate, boiled eggs, etc.
The purpose is to prepare the restricted protein supply in the feed items. This should be done with homemade diets prepared exclusively for dogs suffering from renal diseases. Water is added in sufficient quantities to help the proper metabolism in digestion-impaired renal cases.
The dog may have allergic symptoms like severe itching, which may not get corrected by different kinds of medications employed over some time. However, such cases may get easily treated once the dog food is changed from commercial to homemade food.
Often, homemade food items are prepared using freezing procedures to kill the germs or by adding grape seed extracts to provide sufficient antioxidants to the homemade food items. Food-grade vinegar is also added many times to the meat pieces prepared freshly. All these can be enriched with vitamin supplements available in fruit essences, fish oil, etc.
Cranberry juice, bananas, fish, and meat are prepared in a quality manner, and no preservatives are added during the preparation of these food items. The dog becomes more active after the consumption of such food items. If you can prepare your own organic home-cooked dog health foods, that would be the best; you can also buy commercially packed dry foods.
Understanding ingredients in dog food!
To have a healthy pet dog, you must have a healthy variety of ingredients to feed your dog. Here is a guide to your dog’s health that relates to what sort of ingredients are needed for him or her if you are going to make your food or even feed it with store-bought food.
1) If you are going for a vegetarian diet for your dog, then one thing you might want to consider is these ingredients:
Beet pulp, pasta, Soy bean oil, wheat middling, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, copper sulfate, iron sulfate, zinc oxide, choline chloride. Mostly, these are the most likely ingredients in any vegetarian dog food. Many times though, your dog will not like to be vegetarian, especially if it has been fed some meat before
2) Eggs, chicken, beef, and fish are good and healthy proteins for your dog if your dog is on a daily walk or exercise session.
They are all pretty healthy and not too fat for your dog; the only thing is that eggs have a lot of cholesterol, so feed your dog sparingly. It will not be good in the long run for health issues for your dog.
Many store-bought foods already have all these vitamins in them, except for snacks, so make sure that you avoid snacks if you want balanced nutrition for your dog.
Your dog is a pretty important person in your life, and the longer you can keep it around, the better it is for you and your dog. So do not hesitate to stop feeding the snack food you got at your local market because that is the food that will endanger your dog’s health. However, to offer the best for your dogs’ needs, it is also imperative that you understand more about their diet and what the commercial-packed foods have to offer.
