Do you actually know all there is to know about your dog’s nutritional
needs? Many dog owners believe they’re doing what’s best for their dogs
when it comes to dog food, but in reality they rely on their intuition
more than science. Your dog’s nutrition shouldn’t be left to chance,
even when it comes to your best friend. Think about it – if you only
feed yourself on what you craved while having no knowledge of what your
body needs to function, would you be eating your daily servings of 5
fruit and vegetables?
1. Cover all of the bases.
A dog’s diet can be as complex as any human’s (including yours!), and
it’s absolutely essential that you, as an owner, hit all of the vital
nutritional bases. A deficiency of certain vitamins and nutrients can
lead to upset tummies; overly dry or oily skin, brittle bones, weight
issues, and, in some of the worst cases, death. A balanced and proper
diet is the building block of your dog’s overall health – if he doesn’t
get the right blend of nutrients, the most impeccable care otherwise
won’t mean a thing. But with the right diet, his defences against
disease and disorders are infinitely stronger than a dog whose owner
hasn’t put much thought into an eating plan.
2. Mix it up!
For the most part, pre-packaged food will help you cover all of the
major nutritional requirements a healthy, fairly young dog has. This
where many owners trip up simply because of the ease of the decision;
Most think that the major choice is between dry and moist food, when in
reality the best diet you can provide your dog is one varied in
ingredients, textures, and nutritional value. Wolves where carnivores,
and that instinct remains with their our modern day dog; to this day.
They continue to hunt prey (poor Kitty), love sausage-flavoured treats,
and adore the great crunch they get when chowing down on a bone. Those
varied elements should give you a little bit of insight into how diverse
your dog’s diet can be.
3. Move beyond meat.
Building some portion of his diet from meat gives you many of the
crucial nutrients he needs for energy and growth, but he also needs
fiber and carbohydrates to aid in digestion and stability. You could
throw down a bowl of dry food every day and maybe give him a “treat” of
moist food once a month, but how would you like it if the tables were
turned and he insisted on feeding you pancakes every day for the rest of
your life? Not such a sunny outlook, is it?
4. Make it a real meal.
Listen, nobody ever said you had to rely on a bag or can of food to feed
your dog. You cook for your family all the time. Doesn’t your dog
deserve similar treatment? Most owners say they’d love to cook for their
pups but just don’t know where to start, and that’s where I come in. Now
you can help fulfil all of your dog’s nutritional needs as well as his
taste desires with just one quick flip through my new book, 180
Delicious Gourmet Dog Recipes. I know, I know, you’re busy, and there’s
barely time to cook your family a proper meal.
That’s why you’ll love this book – in addition to covering all of the
usual recipes like traditional dog chow and cookies, I’ve created
several that are healthy and delicious enough for you, your dog, and
your family. Being skeptical is natural; after all, I never dreamed I’d
come up with recipes I could easily share with my dogs! But how can you
pass up recipes like biscotti, muffins, omelettes, dinner mints, and
even sushi?
5. Give him some green.
Your dog needs a well-balanced diet, and the best way to accomplish that
is through a wide variety of ingredients. Did you know that many dogs
love veggies? In fact, if your dog likes to nibble on grass, he may
appreciate some of the veggie-oriented recipes in the cookbook. Give it
a shot and see what you – and your dog – think. After all, the worst
that could happen is an improvement in your pooch’s health!
The only set rule in feeding your pup is to make sure his meals satisfy
the unique nutritional requirements any dog has. You don't have to stick
to the bag or the can, and you don't have to spend hours slaving away in
the kitchen. Making dishes for your dog can be a family event, and
nothing expresses gratitude better than a big, sloppy, wet kiss. "180
Delicious Gourmet Dog Food Recipes" features a huge array of delectable
treats made to please any pup... but you'll be amazed at how many you
can eat, too! It's a great starting point for any well-rounded
nutritional plan for your dog. You'll both be happy you made the
