An appropriately balanced dog food recipe contains roughly 40% meat, 30% starch and 30% vegetables.


1. Meat: Any type can be included. Organ meat, such as liver, is particularly healthy for dogs. Bones should be removed as they are a choking hazard. Cook the meat – uncooked meat can contain unhealthy bacteria and possibly parasites.


2. Starch: Most forms are okay – cooked pasta, potatoes, and rice are common choices for homemade dog food.


3. Vegetables: Most types can be used. Do not use onions as they can be toxic. Cook the vegetables – raw veggies can pose a choking hazard.


Recipe For Quick Adult Homemade Dog Food


This recipe will feed a 50 pound adult dog for one day. If your dog in smaller or larger then the 50 pounds, adjust the amount of ingredients. You can cook enough for many days, divide accordingly and freeze the rest. This food has No preservatives, so refrigerate the fresh food for 3 days maximum. The human vitamin supplement Theragran-M Advanced and calcium carbonate (example: Tums) can be found in any pharmacy.


5 oz. dark meat chicken or turkey beef or fish
2 1/8 cups cooked brown rice
1 tsp. corn oil
1/2 tsp. salt
2 pills Theragran-M Advanced (crushed)
2100 milligrams calcium carbonate (crushed)



Directions:

1. Cook rice until done.

2. Bake your meat, poultry, or fish choice 325 degrees for 30 minutes.

3. Crush human vitamins and “Tums”.

4. Mix all ingredients.

Pay attention to your dog’s response to the new dog food recipes you use. There may be items they refuse to eat or have reactions to a particular food. Try something else in their place, such as substitute chicken for turkey or rice for potatoes. Be aware for changes in your dog’s behavior, especially things such as excessive scratching. This could indicate an allergy to one of the foods you are using.

Homemade dog food recipes generally cause fewer allergic reactions than commercial brands. Plus, by making dog food recipes at home, you can control the proportion of different ingredients. This can be very important to working and sporting breeds that may require more nutrients for their active lifestyles.

Here are a few easy dog biscuit recipes that should get you going. Sometimes the treats we get from a box, just aren’t the quality we want to give to our dog. So, get cooking and make some yourself.



A Basic Dog Biscuit:


2 eggs

2 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons wheat germ


Preheat oven to 350°. Break eggs into a bowl and stir until blended. Add the wheat germ and milk. Stir until smooth. Add whole wheat flour and mix into egg mixture with your hands. Pat dough into a rectangle 3? wide and 1/2 inch thick, then cut it into 3/4 inch wide bones shapes. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes on one side and turn over and bake 25 minutes on the other side. Cool biscuits on racks. Makes 16 dog biscuits.

Stir around the drippings of the bacon. Mix in cold water until the the mixture is moist. Roll this mixture out 1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes or shape into dog biscuits by hand.

Sometimes I find, it is just easier to make these dog biscuit recipes in “roll” form.
