Baggins' Bites: Home Cooked Food April 20, 2010 |
| Dear Dog Lover, Jen from www.all-natural-dog-treat.com here. I hope you're enjoying the mini course "All Natural Dog Solutions" if you signed up. ;) One all natural solution is to eat healthy food. Sounds obvious right?
I mean, you already know fresh foods are good for you. Of course, that's a lot like believing your diet is healthy when you've been eating nonstop fast food... And the really frightening part is there are still veterinarians who seem to believe this too. Luckily, you all are people who think for themselves. And others, who are managing their pet’s diabetes through diet, just like people do. Plus, natural vets like Dr. Pitcairn, Dr. Andrew Jones, Dr. Nancy Scanlan and others advocate adding fresh foods to your pet’s diet. So, the info is out there. But you might not have the full support of your vet or even family members if you start feeding "people food" to your dog. That's ok, like I said, you can think for yourself and easily guess that a steady diet of processed "stuff"--even the better brands can only go so far--isn't the most wholesome food sources for your pet. And don’t worry, you don’t have to start cooking up gourmet meals for Lucy. And it’s easy to throw a couple of sweet potatoes in the oven. Bake them while you’re doing other things—even making your own dinner. Add this to your pet's kibble or in place of it a 2-3 times a week and you'll be adding valuable vitamins and nutrients to your pet's diet. You can also cook up some hamburger or ground turkey for your pet. Just don’t add a lot of seasonings. Keep it pretty bland. Add some brown rice if you want. This literally takes about 15 minutes. Then, you have 3-4 meals for a 30 lb. dog, add the sweet potatoes and you’re feeding him beta carotene, protein, healthy grains and way more vitamins than are in a bag of kibble. You don’t have to radically change your life to add some vegetables and meat to your pet’s dish. A few minutes at a time and your pet can enjoy real food and the nutrition that comes with it.
