The Everyday Homemade Dog Food Cookbook: Fresh and Natural Recipes for Your Pooch

Product Description

Most of us already know that highly processed food isn't the best choice for ourselves. We've seen the long ingredient lists, the additives we can't pronounce, and the way food engineered to sit on a shelf for months bears little resemblance to anything that actually grew or lived. We try, most of the time, to feed ourselves and our families real food. Our dogs deserve that same consideration.Yet the food we pour into our dogs' bowls is often even more processed than what we'd avoid for ourselves. Much of commercial dog food is made from ingredients that are heated, extruded, and preserved so the product can survive long stretches in warehouses and on store shelves. To keep it stable and inexpensive, it frequently relies on fillers, by-products, and additives. None of this is a secret, and none of it is what most of us would call fresh. The simplest question to ask is this: if we wouldn't want to eat it every day ourselves, why would we want our dogs to?Cooking for your dog doesn't have to be complicated, and it doesn't require turning your kitchen upside down. It simply means using the same fresh, whole ingredients you'd use for any good meal and preparing them in straightforward ways. When you make your dog's food yourself, you know exactly what's in the bowl. There are no mystery ingredients and no long list of additives to decode. You chose every single item, and that peace of mind is worth a great deal.The recipes in this book are organized around the different proteins you can rotate through your dog's meals, along with broths, toppers, and treats to add variety. They're written to be simple, practical, and easy to fit into a busy life, because feeding your dog well shouldn't feel like a second job. Whether you cook for your dog every day or just want to add some fresh food to their routine, these recipes are here to help you do it with confidence.
