Chapter 9 - Nutrients to Supply Pets with Food Made at Homes
When a pet becomes someone’s best friend, it becomes their duty to take care of all its needs just the same way you take care of yourself. Obviously, you don’t want to lose on your best friend because of your carelessness. Taking care of your pet does not necessarily involve getting expensive food products or items for it from the market. This does not fulfill your task of promising a good health to your four legged companion. Instead, the utilization of commercially available pet food is going totally against your pet’s health. Your pet needs some special nutrients which are not coated with any preservatives or harmful added colors. This is only possible if your pet’s meals are home made. It is the owners who have to deal with the health of the pets. Ready to eat food is just not appropriate for your dog or cat. An idle and healthy food made at home should basically have a balanced mix of 30% starch, 30% vegetables and 40% meat. If your pet is switching over from commercial to home cooked food, then initially you can add some portion of the former so that your pet gradually gets used to it.
You can always consult your veterinarian about the kind of essential nutrients your breed of pet needs. It depends upon its size, age and many other factors what is more essential for a particular pet. For fulfilling your pet’s starch’s consumption, you can use potatoes, rice, oatmeal and pasta. The latest pet food recall has made every pet owner aware of the hazards that it gives to a pet. That is why it has become sort of mandatory for them to cook homemade food for their pets. Always bear in mind to never feed raw meat to your pet as it has many bacteria, impurities and germs on it. If you want healthy growth of your pet, it is important that your pet homemade meal consists of organ meats like liver, kidney and heart. Foods like ground beef, carrots, yeast and brown rice are easily available and good ingredients for a pet’s meal. Also, grinding eggshell in your pet’s meal will certainly provide it with many kinds of nutrients. Feeding excess amount of garlic is poisonous for pets; onions are specially a strict no- no for cats. Do not give stale food that is heated again and again and also the one that is refrigerated for long as it loses all the essential ingredients. Providing your pet with right type of nutritious food is in your hands. Do it right with home cooked food.
