Homemade Dog Treats

[tamara hamilton]

There is no better way that you can pamper your pet dog than by making great tasting recipes yourself in the comfort of your own home.
Food that you should not give to your dog include turkey, chocolate, pork, onion, grapes, raisins, onions, salt, processed sugar, soy, and rich or spicy food that your dog's digestive system cannot handle. Remember also that corn cannot be digested by dogs, use rice flour instead. If your dog is allergic to wheat, it is important to substitute rice flour for wheat flour.
You may ask what you should feed your dog so he can gain optimum health. You can feed your dog any dog food commercially sold in the market, but remember that you only get what you pay for. No-name varieties of dog food often use low-quality and low-protein sources that are hard to digest and contain lots of preservatives. As a result, some dogs develop allergies either to the preservatives or to the protein sources used. They need low-allergy diets that can be found in lots of varieties of dog food.
Many dog owners make their own homemade dog treats. These treats are made from sliced pieces of steak, small pieces of cooked hamburger, cheese chunks, rice balls, and even special recipes from beef, chicken, or vegetables. Some even come up with intricate recipes that include hard to find items such as molasses and wheat germ.
Remember to check first with your vet before giving your dog homemade treats. Many websites provide access to dog treat recipes. These treats are excellent sources for providing your dog healthy, affordable, and nutritious food. Along with other information you find on the Internet, it is also important to find out for yourself by doing some research on its acceptability as dog food.
