When it comes to your dog, there is nothing too good for him or her.  Your dog is like a member of your family.  He or she has been with you and stuck with you through thick and thin.  Dogs love you with a special kind of unconditional love and you feel the same about them.  You can get great recipes and learn how to make your own dog food and treats for your companion.  Homemade dog food recipes are easy to find online.  The following ideas and recipes will help you make your dog’s food and treats fast and easy.  You will also probably discover you will save money.

You can make doggie meals that do not take long to fix and are tasty and healthy for your buddy.  Before we get into these ideas for making your own dog food, here are a few things you need to know.   Dogs love bones, but do not give them bones whether they are cooked or otherwise.  They can get caught in their digestive tract and possibly death for your dog.  Bones for your house dog are a big no-no.  Also, when you are using homemade dog food recipes do not feed your dog anything with chocolate, avocado, garlic, mushrooms, raw meat, onions, grapes, raisins, artificial sweeteners or macadamia nuts.  Those are particularly dangerous to your dog.

The foods that are most healthy for your dog contain meat, eggs, poultry, organs like liver (not too much), yogurt, cheese, buttermilk (cultured dairy), rice, potatoes, beans (complex carbohydrates), and fiber found in bran, whole grain foods and fresh veggies.  You can fix your dog veggie meals, but they do require protein to be healthy, so do not leave meat out totally.  Homemade dog food recipes should be healthy and nutritious as well as tasty for your dog, so make the best of this option.  Here is a meatloaf recipe you can make quick and easy for your dog.

• ½ cup of Barley or amaranth
• 1 ½ pounds of ground chicken or turkey
• 1 ½ cups of chicken broth
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup of cottage cheese
• ½ cup of wheat germ
• ¼ cup each of finely chopped zucchini, carrots and spinach
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• Mix these ingredients together thoroughly and bake in a loaf pan at 350 degrees in the oven for about an hour or until it is done.

This is just one of the many homemade dog food recipes you can find online that are easy to make and quick to fix.  When nothing is too good for your dog, make their food for them like you do for your family.
