Return To Pets Article Archive   Guide to make your pet food at home By Anna Josephs Many pet owners prepare their prêt food at home. By preparing your pet food at home you can save up to 80% and its easy; making pet food at home is probably a lot less time-consuming than you may have thought. With hundreds of websites offering free pet food recipes online, its now easier than ever to make your own pet food. While preparing food for your pet does not need salt added to their diet as the natural salt in the food is enough for them. Its a good idea to always add a grain, such as Kibble, wheat germ, cooked oatmeal or whole wheat bread to meat dinners. For dogs use 75% carbohydrate foods (grains and vegetables) to 25% meat; for cats use half carbohydrate foods to half meat. You will find, once you begin making your own pet foods, that it is really relatively simple and you will save some money as well. Remember that all pet foods should be served at room temperature; dont serve food cold from the refrigerator nor hot from the stove. Homemade pet food should take a ridiculously small amount of your time. As a general guide meats should be raw and vegetables must be finely chopped in a food processor or by a hand grater. When it comes time for feeding, it is important that you let your dogs and cats eat as much as they want at the time of feeding. Once their body becomes nutritionally satiated, they will cut their food intake, sometimes by half the amount, and go on a maintenance diet. Incidentally, you should know that cats should be fed three times a day, while an adult dog needs only one meal a day. To get started, find a good book with pet food recipes and use it to start preparing simple meals. You can also get free recipes from many websites online.
