It is really amazing to see what some people feed
their dogs, expired products, remnants of family food, foods that are toxic to
them and even strange recipes of homemade food for dogs obtained from websites
without any nutritional knowledge.
To think that nothing happens or that it does not
do you any harm, is to deceive ourselves. Dogs must have a healthy and balanced
diet to have normal development and good health. Your immune system depends
largely on your diet, so spends a few minutes to inform us about what they can
or cannot eat, is to invest in their health. Do you think you have proper
knowledge about ideal recipes for your dog? Here I want to introduce those easy
recipes for dog food including grain-free, paleo, and raw recipes through a
book. The Healthy Hound Cookbook is a
book that will help you making easy all natural recipes for your favorite dog. With
food recipes in The Healthy Hound Cookbook, your dog will start living happier,
natural and flavorful life. This book will help you making easy to create
healthy treats and meals for your dog.
Are there prohibited foods for
dogs?
Of course there are toxic and dangerous foods for
our dogs, which we must avoid at all times. These foods can cause digestive
problems, vomiting, diarrhea or even intoxication in our dog, leading to death
in many cases.
From The Healthy Hound Cookbook we will review what
foods a dog can eat and which ones should never eat. We will also see how to
prepare some very healthy homemade recipes for our dog.
Some of the foods that we should avoid because of
their toxicity or the danger of eating them for our dogs are:
Cooked bones / cooked bone
remains:
Bones should always be fleshy and raw to avoid being stuck in your
digestive system.
Raw egg shells:
We should never give raw eggshells to our dogs, they can get
salmonellosis.
Grapes and / or raisins:
They are very toxic for our dogs, only some fruits are healthy for dogs
and always without seeds.
Mushrooms and fungi:
Most of these present very toxic substances for our dogs, we must avoid
them completely.
Dairy products and derivatives:
Be careful with products that have lactose, how milk. Lactose produces
problems of intolerance in most dogs.
Sauces and fritangas:
Dogs do not tolerate sauces or fritters, excess fat and many of the
products that are used are harmful to them.
Although obviously there are many more harmful ingredients for dogs,
these are the most common in our kitchens (the ones that we should avoid
eating).
Common ingredients for a
homemade recipe for dogs
Although we think that there are many ingredients
that our dogs should not eat, the truth is that there are many more than if
they can eat, being even highly recommended for them due to their quality in
nutrients.
The homemade food for dogs is called Diet Barf, and
here you can find much more detailed information on the quantities and ingredients
suitable for a homemade diet: Homemade Recipes for Dogs of Diet BARF.
Some of the most common and
healthy ingredients for our dogs are:
Meats: Beef, chicken, duck,
lamb, pork, horse, bird.
Milky bones: Chicken
carcasses, ribs.
Fermented Dairy: Natural
yogurts not sugary, cured cheese.
Probiotics: Brewer's yeast
Canned: Tuna, sardines.
Fish: Small herring / raw
anchovies
Fruits: Apple, pear, banana,
melon, watermelon ... all without seeds.
Vegetables: always cooked
and crushed
As you may have appreciated we have not included
the rice or the potato, since in our opinion the dogs do not need to eat
carbohydrates. Although on this there are many opinions, we will incorporate
them in small quantities, in the recipes that we mention below.
If you are one of those who think that a dog does
not need cereals or carbohydrates, simply omit these ingredients in the
following recipes. Needless to say, if we have any health problems or are
allergic to any of these ingredients, we should consult a veterinarian first.
Homemade recipes to feed a dog
Fresh meat and / or fresh fish can be completely
raw, although it is advisable to freeze them three or four days previously, to
avoid / eliminate possible parasites. If we do not want to freeze the meat or
the fish, we can always cook them a little (previously eliminating any bone or
rasp-spine).
These are some simple recipes to prepare at home,
although we can create new recipes more elaborate following the advice of The
Healthy Hound Cookbook.

Minced beef meat 1/2 kilo
Minced meat of chicken 1/2 kilo
Minced pork 1/2 kilo
1 can of tuna in oil
Apple 1 unit
Carrot 2 units
Rice (optional) 200 grams dry
Cured cheese 100 grams
Lettuce, just a couple of leaves
Egg (optional)
Preparation
We will cook all the meat mixed with a little
forget oil, without salt or any other seasoning. The meat should not be left
toasted or passed; we will just give it a few laps so that it is ready.
On the other hand we will cook carrots, lettuce
leaves and rice with water. The rice should be well cooked to prevent it from
shaking our dog. If we do not want to use cereal in the recipe, we will simply
omit the rice.
Cut the apple and cheese into very small pieces;
add the contents of the can of tuna, carrot and lettuce cooked and much
chopped, meat and rice. We will make a puree or scrambled with all this and let
it stay at room temperature.
We already have prepared a delicious dish for our
dog, which in addition to healthy and healthy is very economical. Obviously we
will only give you the amount of food you need. The rest we can put it in small
bags of individual ration and freeze them. The egg, however, will always be
added fresh and without skin on the dog's ration, we will not freeze it.
Fish recipe ingredients
Tuna preserved in oil 4 cans
Sardines (also in oil) 1 can
Fresh anchovies clean (with water, we can leave the viscera and raspa)
1/4 kilo
Diverse minced meat (chicken, veal, lamb ... ..) 1 kilo
Apple 1 unit
Carrot 2 units
Cured cheese 100 grams
Potato 1/4 kilo
Preparation
We will cook all the meat with a little olive oil
and without salt or other condiments. Only until it takes color, it is not
necessary to cook it a lot. Cook the potatoes and carrots to crush them later.
We will cut the apple into very small pieces and mix everything together with
the contents of tuna tins (without oil), sardines, fresh anchovies and cheese.
It is advisable to freeze fresh anchovies for three
days to eliminate any possible parasite. If our dog is of small breed, we must
also crush them; the healthy dogs of medium and large breeds can eat them
whole. We can make individual rations in bags and freeze the rest.
How do you see, making a homemade meal for your dog
is really simple, and I'm sure he appreciates it a lot. Surprise him with a
homemade meal just for him and you will see how he becomes crazy with joy.
Are there ready-made recipes that you can buy to
simply serve?
Yes, there are some companies that instead of
opting for the classic feed have preferred to focus on preparing a diet from
dehydrated fresh products for our dogs.
The preparation is very simple, we put some of these foods in the
feeder of our dog, we add water and in ten minutes you will be ready to eat,
natural food and all its nutrients. You can see all your recipes in The Healthy
Hound Cookbook. Here you can see more
