Feeding your dog the best food

Feeding your dog the best food you can offers many benefits.

Dog who have what they need in the form of nutrition visit the vet less, have fewer health problems, and are more over all healthier and more active then dogs who fed a poor quality food.

If you have never given much thought to what you give your dog to eat, you may want to rethink your decision.

Read the bag of your dog food then call and ask your vet what your dog should be eating each day.

You will find what he should have verses what he does have are two different things. This is the main reason why making your own dog food is the best for your dog.

Homemade Dry Food

There are several benefits in feeding your dog dry food. Kibble offers a way to not only give your dog what he needs nutritionally, but offers a hard, crunchy way to do it. The chewing action will aid in cleaning your dog's teeth and keeps them healthy. Store bought kibble may clean his teeth, but that is just about all it offers him. The nutrition level is low and should be avoided.

Making your own dry food offers you a way to keep a fresh food that lasts longer in your home and gives your dog what he needs each day. This is a huge benefit for those who want to make sure that their dog is eating well but have no room to store wet foods in their freezer or refrigerator.

Homemade Wet Food

Some dogs will just not eat a dry food. Feeding your dog a store brand wet food is not always the best you can do for your dog. Wet foods are very expensive and are no better nutritionally than the kibble sold there. If you want a cheaper way to provide your dog with a wet food he is surely to eat, make your own. You will be able to save money and give your dog all he needs each day for the right nutrition.

Wet foods are the easiest to make and store fresh for up to 3-4 days or can be frozen. If you are the owner of a wet food eater, be sure offer daily chew toys and bones so that your dog can clean his teeth. Proper oral hygiene is essential for dogs.

A Bit Of Both

You may find feeding your dog a bit of both commercial and homemade food is best for you. If you have limited space and time for fresh food, a store bought kibble may work best supplemented with a wet food to mix in. Using both together can offer your dog just what he needs to stay healthy and not cost you in the pocket, time, or storage. Many dog owners also worry if they are giving their dog enough with homemade food alone; using a mix will take away the worry for you so you can enjoy watching your dog enjoy his daily meal.
