Think of the disease it will bring to our pets who will eat that dog food? It is then best to make our own dog food because we know what ingredients we put in there and we know the process of doing it. Unlike pre-made dog food, we do not know the process it undergoes and the chemicals mixed in it.

But you get used it. Like cooking Baby’s food separately from the high-chili tacos you’re serving the grownups.

And if this post has inspired Tal (or any other reader) to feed her pet only the best, it makes my day.

I use my dog as a composter too. She loves veggies. Talked to a vet and she said it’s okay that we feed her cabbage and various other veggies. The dog loves the supplement.

You’ve inspired me to try making some for my dog… We’ve already been using him as a home composting unit (vegetables, rice, meat… nothing but good stuff), but it will be good to get off the packaged dog food completely.

Check out the tip I posted here last year (as well as a photo of Mr. Compost himself).

In the wild, the only veggies or fruit a dog would eat would be what was in the stomach of his/her prey at the time.

I also add blueberries & scrambled eggs to my dogs’ homemade food.
