How to Make Homemade Dog Food – 40% Meat Recipe

If you are concerned about feeding your dog commercial dog foods, many people have developed homemade dog food recipes for making their own dog food.

The following video actually shows you, step by step, how to made enough to feed four 50-pound dogs for four days. If you have only one dog, or several small dogs, you will want to change the number or amounts of the ingredients so the dog food doesn’t spoil before it’s used up.

When we had a couple of old dogs, one who was missing 90% of her teeth, we made homemade dog food. The one lived to be 16 and the other 14. I don’t know if the [tag]homemade dog food[/tag] helped or not, but they were fairly healthy until the last few months of their lives.

This isn’t a professional video, but if you watch the whole thing you will be able to make this recipe yourself. It’s not hard, and she does a great job of explaining each step.

You can vary the amount of meat and vegetables. Some people recommend only 20% meat, but that seems like too little. Your vet should be able to recommend the ingredient percentages that would benefit your dog the most.

If you have the time, use a homemade dog food recipe for your dog’s diet is better than trusting a large company to make dog food that is healthy and safe for your dog.

I really like the idea of taking care of my animals with good food that I make. It looks like it is quite a bit cheaper too.
