Homemade Dog food for Our own Aged Fuzzy Friends

Getting older is a natural part of life. We are very familiar with  the results of old age, and people have assets at their disposal to help make the process less difficult. Dogs, on the other hand, basically snooze quite a lot.
They gradually beginto lose their teeth, forcing them to play less catch. They stifflybegin to hobble when we take them for their daily walks. They even cry because all theirTiny aches and pains take a toll at the end of the day.

Their owners try to take care of them, switching from dry to canned food, adding extra padding to their beds, and not getting mad at them, when they can’t get to the door fast enough to relieve themselves. We try, as we wonder if there’s something more we can do to lessen the struggle of their decline.

Then one day, something happens as we hold our breath, while scooping that smelly canned dog food into the dish. We beginto wonder if something that smells that bad, might not be contributing to the pain and suffering of our dog. We reason that even if it isn’t, canned dog food certainly can’t be helping our furryTiny friend. That’s when we get to work, and come up with a wonderful remedy which not only fills our puppy up, but makes them feel bettertoo.

Homemade dog food has been a blessing at my house. Through my research, I have discovered what ingredients help my dog, and learned what things to avoid. On a weekly schedule, I make a massive batch of dog food, as if I am making chicken soup. The recipe sends a magnificent aroma throughout my entire home, and my dog perks up recognizing the scent of her food.

Dogs are meat eaters, so I make sure to include plenty of meat in my dog’s food. They also benefit from the vitamins in vegetables. They need to have aTiny salt in their diets, and also some fiber and starch. Canola oil keeps them from getting constipated, while garlic is cleansing and wards off worms. To help with incontinence, a bit of cornstarch or corn silk tea is very beneficial.
