Do you know what's in your pet's food?

If you make your puppy's food then you already know that it contains only what you consider the best for your baby, because you made it yourself. The following homemade dog food recipes are included here courtesy of Doggy Food Recipe at I-Love-Dogs.com. The one for bad breath is especially important, because bad breath can be a sign of poor health. The naturally made foods can help improve the health of your beloved four legged, fuzzy friend.

If you have a dog who has perpetual stomach or skin problems that won't go away, you need to take a close look at what's in the food they're eating. Corn is notorious for causing 'hot spots" in both cats and dogs. Hot spots are bald, irritated spots that appear in places fur should be.

Vomiting and diarrhea is another problem that can seem incurable when you have a pup who is very sensitive to unnatural ingredients. If you can commit to making food for your canine for only one week, you'll be able to see whether or not it is the food causing the problem. If your animal's health problem is alleviated, they you've discovered a sensitivity, and you can then choose which path to take. You may want to try different commercially prepared natural/organic/holistic foods, or you may choose to stick to making home made foods.

Canine Cookies - Dog Food

Turn off oven heat but leave baking sheet with cookies in the oven to harden overnight. If you lack room in the oven for all of them, then just place them in a dry spot until they are quite hard.
