Homemade dog food? Anyone have good recipes?

Does anyone know of any dog treat recipes for my husky pups? I've read so much about the tainted food problem. Afraid to feed them the store-sold stuff...Homemade dog food? Anyone have good recipes?

This is food that I know works wonders for dogs. There are some pictures of the beneficial effects.





You can order it over the phone by calling them or sending an email to them from the site.
www.petdiets.com is a good place to start, I have some on file at work but I don't have access to them at the moment. Clear any recipe you find with the vet, to make sure it's balanced. You will probably need a vitamin supplement for your dog too, some recipes will have you add the vitamins into the recipe or give on the side. I personally don't like the BARF diet (raw food diet) because of the risk of parasites and foodborne illnesses, but cooked homemade food can be fine
I feed my great danes a diet of raw meat, bones and organs. Carnivores do not require carbs or veggies, so no other ingredients are required.





Bones should NOT be cooked, they may splinter and perforate an organ.





Hamburger and rice is not a complete diet and should only be fed a few days to calm an upset stomach. Feeding this as a primary diet could cause serious nutritional deficiencies and endanger the health of your pet.





I am going to repost an answer to a similar question, I thought it was excellently written:





';I feed a raw diet. My dogs dog GREAT on this diet.





Here is some general information about Raw/BARF diets.


There is another diet option other than dog food. Some people choose to feed a raw diet. This involves feeding the dog raw meaty bones and organ meat. However it is not as simple as throwing a couple chicken bones in a bowl everyday. If you wish to feed this type of diet, do lots and lots of research first. Switching to this diet without knowing what your doing can lead to nutritional problems for your dog. I'll give you some links as a starting point in research if you are interested in this type of diet.

There is also a group on livejournal called ';rawdogs';. This group has people who have been feeding raw for years, and beginners as well. Its a great source of information and everyone is always willing to give you a hand with questions. The group can be found here http://community.livejournal.com/rawdogs鈥?/a> the profile page has some great links and book ideas as well.

Does anyone know of any good recipes for my Pomeranian?
Go to www.canine-epilepsy-guardian-angels.com


and look for nutrition. I'm making my dog own food for about a year and she is doing very well since.
Virginia Tech gave me a recipe and of course the more the natural state the better off your dog will be. Don't cook nor microwave their food.





If you contact them they should be able to provide you the recipe.
I have been feeding my dog these ingredients for years. It's a low fat diet, the vet suggested I feed him i/l/o commercial dog food.


1 cup Ground Turkey Meat - cooked


2 cups cooked white rice


1 hard boiled egg


1 cup bran cereal


1 tsp. calcium carbonate


1/4 tsp. salt


1/4 tsp. salt substitute


1/2 multi vitamin





I have a 14 pound chihuahua and I feed him 1/4 cup in the morning and at night. This usually lasts for 4 days. You don't want to make more because it will spoil ... it's real food.





I use half the package of ground turkey per recipe. I use microwavable white rice, and All Bran or Fiber One.





I grind the ingredients up, 1 at a time in my food processor and mix together in a tupperware bowl. I don't add the vitamin into the food until I'm ready to serve. If you add powdered vitamins into the food and refrigerate, it turns the food black and tastes funny.
just go on a serch like google and put dog treat recipes and they should give ya lots ive done it
Hi Al, we think that the main problem with pets is that they are bored about their daily food. There麓s some naturals pet food flavorants which help to became food more attractive for our pets.





We made those products in Chile and is a real success. Please for more information visit www.saboraidpet.cl

My beloved dog lives on boiled rice cooked with vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, an apple sometimes and peas what ever you have - Either some, or all of those cut up very tiny).


when these are cool enough i add fresh raw minced beef, or lamb, or turkey. About two to one or even less ... rice being the bigger part.


A few smaller bones, or cooked turkey necks ... loves those.


He is 13 years old, just travelled to europe and back, and is healthy and happy.
Homemade dog food- the best i found is hamburger (NO PORK!!!) with rice and you can throw vegtables in with it . you brown the meat then BOIL while cooking it fully ... you can use the minute rice mix with the meat and if want throw pre cooked vegetables in (no celery,unless fully cooked)(and DO NOT PUT ONIONS) do not add any seasonings.. i got this idea from my veternarian when my dog(s) were sick and just could not eat, and i found this to be the safiest . i also mix it with dry food (dog food) they only get this once a day . or only 3 times a week . i only feed the dogs twice a day in small portions. and for yopur huskie pups burger and rice is the best . and i think your vet will agree. DO NOT GIVE ANY DOGS RAWHIDE OR PIGS EARS. TRUST ME!!!! besides a chance of choking and twisting within their system ANY PORK items will lead to future renal failures. (no grapes,(of course chocolate) celery, watermelon,onions, cucumbers,there is morebut your vet should be able to varify this. good luck and if you have pups look into the Wellness program, ask your vet about this (i know Banfield hospital/vet has this ) it takes care of all your animal shots, care, etc..WONDERFUL PLAN. have a blessed day.
Hi, call me old fashion but if I won't eat can foods why should my dog eat it? I have been cooking for my 3 year old yellow lab and up to now she has not been ill. I give her Vita-Chews (vitamins) as a daily supplement and I highly recommend you buy them from 1800PetMeds.com as they deliver right in front of your dog and their prices are reasonable. Meal suggestions for your dog:


in the meat market or butcher shop ask for neck bones [beef or pork]. Also, beef hind shin and even veal breast. Simmer/boil any of these meats with their bones in water, add a bit of garlic and a pinch of salt. Cover and wait for it to sautee then when fully cooked let cool and serve to your precious dog.
what happened to good ol fashion dry dog food check the brands that are tainted and avoid them duh
Because of various reasons I feed my dog the following:





chicken


liver


green beans


carrots


rice


cottage cheese


yogurt


pumpkin


broth - from when I boil the chicken


bread


apples


mushrooms


potatoes


Too ensure they are getting nutrients they need, I supplement with Newman's Organic Dog Food, which is expensive but when used in conjunction with everything else it goes a long way. Contrary to what I had heard all my life, if I like it, with few exceptions, they too will benefit from it - that's what people did before there was dog food. If you go to Costco - pumpkin in a can, cottage cheese, green beans, carrots etc are very cheap in bulk and easy to use.
I am feeding mine hamburger and rice until the scare is over.
A great alternative to canned dog food that my vet suggested when my dog had bowel problems consisted of half cooked ground beef (the regular fatty kind) and half cooked rice. You can also use chicken and the stuff packed in the cavity when you buy whole chickens. Add some peas and carrots and you can package the meals individually in baggies and freeze. Dogs love it and it costs close to what canned dog food does or less.
Hi,


I really having a quit bad experience on home made food. if you go to a real answer via a doctor advice you will find that home made food is not advisable for a dog at all except some of it that meaning 15% only and that is a coked meat only and when you say home made food that all we know it include a sweet and spicy and many things the doge stomach naturally not prepared to digest it at all plus it make doge health very bad.


What I use to do is while I have my doge is I made a contract with a many shops who seal a meet to collect from them in the end of every day the unwanted boons and meat (fresh only) and coked in the home with a quit salt and black paper and give it to my dong every day.


And to insure the health of my doge that I made a visit to a doctor every two week for a general check up.


It was and still fines .my doge it really healthy and doing very will till today for more then a 5 years now.
