How to cook healthy for your pet?!


Question: How to cook healthy for your pet!?
I've decided I want to start cooking meals for my dogs and cats!. I'm not sure how to go about doing this!. I feel it would be healthier than pet food though!. I want to give them the best of everything, including diet!. I really could use some advice!. What should I cook for dogs!? Cats!? I'm sure I will have to cook something different for each!. I'd appreciate any tips and suggestions!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
The best resource to start with is Dr!. Pitcairns "Complete Guide to Natural Health for your Dog and Cat!."

Feeding a balanced diet isn't easy but it isn't rocket science, either!. Dogs need protein/ carbs/ fats just like we do and vitamins and minerals!. (Hey, didn't we just figure all of this out on the human front about 50 years ago!? We haven't always known about low fat or good fats or "low glycemic" foods for people!)


Given the astronomical rate of cancer in animals and the warnings we humans get: Eat 5 veggies per day!. Low Fat!. Cut back on sugar!. Maintain a healthy diet!. Whole grains !.!.!. Everything we're told to reduce our own chances of cancer - doesn't it make sense that a boring diet of processed food might not be the best for our pets!?

Sorry, but the AAFCO doesn't have ALL of the answers, nor are their recipes a magic formula for health!

Another great book: "The Whole Pet Diet" by Andi Brown (with foreward by Dr!. Pitcairn!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

feed them pet food it has all the nutrients they need and vitamins there is no way that you can prepare nutritionally balance meals that provide that!. is not practical, Yes I am a pet owner and breeder of chihuahuas and i tried it myself and I will never go back to it I feed all of my dogs Black Gold in the black bag it is championship quality and grade nearly all of the breeders I know that love and care for their pets like their children feed them this I also fry and drain several pounds of ground beef 90% lean and mix it 50 - 50 with rice for them every day!. I feed the meat and rice in the AM and they have black gold the rest of the day to eat at their leisure!.
I also give them (per 4 dogs) 1 12-oz can of evaporated milk with 1 egg every 3rd day!. it is excellent for their coat and they love it!. this was suggested to me by 2 different veternarians


I am sorry I do not raise felines so I cannot comment on themWww@FoodAQ@Com

Wow, I envy your cats and dogs!.
They are carnivores, so they digestive system is different than ours!. They do not need veggies!. In the parasite-free world, it is best of you give raw meat to dogs and raw fish to cats!. But if you're worried about parasites you'll have to boil their food!. Don't put any salt or pepper!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oh PUHLEEZE cooking healthy for your pet!? Why dont you just ask them what they want to be fed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
