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 worry, homemade dog food don't have to be difficult to be delicious. Actually, easy homemade dog treats are accessible to anybody who wants to learn more about it. There are reputable canine sites that give excellent pet recipes you can use for your own pet. Experts and experienced pet owners can help you find the best meals to give your beloved dog.

Before you do anything, go to the vet and get a thorough check-up for the canine. This will let you know if he has any existing illness that you should know about. When you do, you can then create a proper diet suitable for him. You may not know it but if he has a particular condition, what he eats affects his general lifestyle and you must take extra care to keep away from the bad stuff. Conversely, specific food will also help improve his health.

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.

Nobody knows your pet like you do so take special note of his particular taste in food and look for ways to satisfy his palate. It is recommended that 1/3 of his meal is starch based while 2/3 are meat, with healthy servings of vegetables and fruit mixed in. Some people prefer to serve the meat raw; while some believe cooking them thoroughly is important. Either way, make sure that the pieces are cut into small enough pieces to eliminate the possibility of the dog choking on his food.

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.

Easy homemade dog treats are something every pet owner can do. They are healthy and delicious-something your dog will surely enjoy. Browse around for the best recipes and discover a whole new dimension of fun in you and your canine's relationship today.
