Make your own dog food.

Are you tired of those dried out dog foods that seem to be doing nothing for your dog? If so why not simply make your own dog food? A lot of dog owners may think that making dog food is a difficult task, but it is as easy as one two three. The fact is, you can make dried or wet dog food at home which is probably much more nutritious than those high priced dog food brands packed with grains. Grains are for herbivores. You dog is a meat eater in all build of its genetics and should be fed much more meat than grains. So if you have the least bit of interest in creating your own dog food. Let’s get started here.

What you will need to make your own dog food.

Meat Grinder
Meats
Meat Preservative

There are many kind of meat preservative, but you want a natural preservative instead of what that is inorganic.

Rosemary Extract is a Natural Meat Preservative.
Rosemary extract is made from the distillation of rosemary leaves and is a powerful preservative. Its anti-microbial composition contains carnosic and rosmaranic acid, antioxidants that act as shields to decay. The Phytochemical Database supervised by Dr. James Duke from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, states that rosemary has over 24 antioxidants that have a longer life span of activity than most other types of antioxidants.

Ingredients.
The main ingredient to put in any dog food is meat right, so we can use meats which a dog would naturally hunt in the wild. Get meats such as chicken, turkey, duck, rabbit, sheep, beef, etc. Ensure that the meats you get are boneless meats as bones should never be fed with dog food at the same time.

Meat
Salt
Coconut Oil

Instructions

Get around 5 pounds of meat.
Cut and boil meat for about 10 minutes.
Remove meat from pan and let it dry for about 10 minutes.
Run meat through the meat grinder.
Add about 5 teaspoons per of rosemary extract per pound of meat
Add a little salt to flavor
Add two tablespoon of coconut oil
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly.
Roll grounded meat into tiny balls just like the conventional dog food
Bake in oven for about 10-15 minutes
Allow to cool and dry for an additional hour.

This process may take some time, time which many dog owners do not have. But at least you actually know what is in the food you feed your dog and have the peace of mind that your dog is eating healthy and natural.

Dog owners love it when their dogs just surround them with love. They wag their tails, they jump up o you and you and then they just stuff a piece of whatever they are eating into their dogs mouth. Whao! Hold up their bud. There are foods which are good for your dog and their are foods which can cause your dog to get sick or die. Below are a list of foods you should never to give you feline pal.

1. Grapes and Raisins - This one might not be as widely known, and that might be a result of the reason behind it being somewhat unknown as well, but grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. It is best to avoid giving either of these to your dog at all.

2. Chocolate (& Caffeine) - Now even if you have never had a dog of your own you probably know that chocolate is toxic to dogs. What you might not know is that this also extends to coffee and caffeine. All of these items come from cacao seeds, which contain methylxanthines. This has been known to cause numerous ill effects in dogs and even death. They should be kept far away from your pets.

Some common salty snacks to watch out for can include pretzels, chips, popcorn etc.
