Notes
Why Making Food For your Dog is healthier, and can be less expensive than buying commercial
Even good quality commercial dog food has preservatives. There’s no getting around them. That’s where homemade dog food has the advantage. Foods can be selected that are completely fresh without any preservatives or added salt. Preservatives can make health issues worse or bring them on without much notice. Just like it’s healthier for us to eat fewer preservatives, it’s equally healthy for our pets.
Can be Less Expensive – But Watch Out
Dog parents can make fresh dog food and treats more inexpensively than purchasing some higher-end or prescription commercial dog food, but care has to be taken. If ingredients or supplements get too fancy or pricier cuts of meat are preferred, homemade canine food can end up costing more, and sometimes substantially more than commercial food. That’s not a game stopper, but if the price is a concern then ingredients have to be chosen carefully for both their price and nutritional value. Even if making homemade dog food ends up being a little more expensive than commercial food, at least you know the ingredients are better and how the food was made. That will go a long way toward giving you peace of mind and knowing your furry friend is getting the best food possible.
