Growing concern of the safety of food has led many savvy dog owners to begin to make their own dog food also known as holistic dog food which is actually quite simple to make. It actually can save the owner money and give your dog a more nutritious balanced diet.
The breakdown of a healthy dog diet includes 70% carbohydrates, 25% meat, and 5% vegetables and other additions. Dogs being omnivores need a combination of meat and vegetables and some additions that can be added to their food include bonemeal, garlic, and certain flours
The carbohydrate component in holistic dog food can consist of whole wheat flour, cornmeal, oats, soy flour and barley and sometimes white and brown rice can be used as well. This carbohydrate component should be the base of the diet.
Meats are the next component of Holistic Dog Food. Try to choose healthy, quality proteins like lean chicken, fish, beef, or even egg whites. Many dog owners who make their own Holistic Dog Food find that grinding the meat makes the process much easier.
