Does it take a long time to prepare homemade dog food?

So Ive knocked away some of the most common excuses for not preparing your homemade dog food. But, as you still hesitate, there may be one hurdle in the way, which we havent covered.
You have been accustomed to believe commercial dog food is better than anything else. Your vet may have told you. Your parents may have told you. You see people feeding commercial pet food all the time. Can they all be wrong?
Yes!
Because none of them are looking to their dogs origins. Dog evolved in the wild over many thousands of years, hunting in packs in times of plenty and eating carrion or plant matter in times of famine.
In contrast, commercial dog food typically pellets, is not raw or of the quality a hunted animal is. Dogs digestive systems and nutritional requirements have not changed or adapted, just because they are now domestic.
The best way to ensure your dog maintains not just good, but excellent health is to make homemade dog food, based on a wild dogs diet. Sure, it isnt possible to exactly duplicate a wild dogs diet, but we can come so close that it wont affect your dogs health.
When youre shopping in the supermarket, its just as easy to buy raw meat and bones as it is to purchase a packet. You can buy enough to keep your dog going until the next time you shop. Freezing food is an acceptable way to keep it, as it is not so destructive as cooking. Three or four days of fresh food and the rest thawed frozen food will be absolutely adequate to maintain good health.
Once youve measured out the food the first time, its just a matter of routine.
Keeping all the ingredients together means its convenient.
By making your own homemade dog food, you have control over the quality and the ingredients. This is critical to your dogs good health as many ingredients in commercial pet food is toxic, not natural, not nutritious and certainly isnt raw.
Try your dog on raw meat and bones for a month and youll see a big smile on his face!
Couple that with his drastically reduced health bills, and youll be the next one grinning.
Warning: in older dogs there can be an initial clearing period. This is natural and normal, but can look alarming if you dont know whats happening.
