dog's food

By Geraldine Dimarco

For most of us, our pets are seldom just animals-they are family. I mean, they stick by you no matter how you look or smell like; they are loyal and loving all the time. It's only natural that we feel so close to them and want to be good to them. If this is you, being good to them just got easier. Here are appetizing dog biscuit recipes that say "I love you" louder and clearer to your beloved pet.

Now, you may be asking, why would I want to make these homemade dog treats when I could just as easily run down to the grocery store and get a bag of processed pet food I can give to my pet? There are several of these products that are reasonably priced; but more than that-it's easy to open a bag and pour dry kibble into the dog's food dish.

While serving the store-bought feed is quite convenient for us, the homemade biscuits are indisputably better for the canine. Think about it, you can optimally manage his diet because you can choose the food that he eats; thereby making sure the right vitamins and nutrients are included in his diet. Aside from the health benefits of these homemade dog treats-- the dog's palate will also enjoy snacking on these better than the pre-packed, commercial pet food.

Actually it's not really that difficult to whip up a mean batch of tasty dog treats. Many of these recipes you can make together with the dishes you cook for your family. Take for example the beloved cookie. You can bake a few extra pieces and give this to the dog. Be very careful that you do not give pastries that have chocolates or raisins or caffeine in them as these ingredients are harmful for canines as a whole.

Why not include fruits like mangoes and banana in some of the sweeter biscuits you are planning to make? Add some texture to these creations with peanut butter and a few tablespoons of oatmeal. Don't limit yourself to what you can do, have fun! Bring in the kids to help you decorate it with funny shapes and pictures that they think the dog will enjoy.

You can also make treats that are more savory-and it's really easy to make. All you need is to bake some pieces of meat (chicken, turkey, beef, etc.) with a sprinkling of cheese on top until they're hard. Let them cool down before you serve it. Organ meat is also a good snack the doggie can munch on. Boil and cut up pieces of liver and heart for delicious and hassle-free nibblers.

Whatever you decide to make, research first on the ingredients that you will use; some food substances are hazardous to the canine population. It will also do you well to consult with the vet beforehand. Your furry friend might have some specific needs that should be incorporated when planning the dog biscuit recipes. That being said, don't forget to enjoy this great time with your pet-it's definitely worth all the effort.
