On Making Homemade Dog Food

For the past month, Princess has been on a little food trial.

She is itchy all the time, so she constantly chews and licks herself all the time, and therefore smells like old lady dog breath.
God love her.
Bless her heart.
But it's bad.

Our vet thinks she might be allergic to something in dog food.
So, for the last month, I have been making her food. She can only eat sweet potatoes and pinto beans. That. Is. It.

I tried cooking some for her in the crock pot, but she actually seems to prefer the canned stuff.
Thank God for Aldi, or this diet would cost a small fortune!
Princess did like the homemade sweet potato skins as treats. But there haven't been any of those since the crockpot meal she wasn't a fan of, so, it's organic sweet potato chips for her!
Two more months of this food trial before we will know anything. It doesn't seem to be making a difference so far, but I'm hoping it will.

Because even though hand mixing "dog food" by hand is more time consuming and more expensive, I'm willing to to that for our little Princess.
And, ahem, for a better smelling house.
I'm not sure if Mr. Corn Chip feet is going to like going back to bit having sweet potato/pinto coated dog food. It seems he has become quite spoiled. (what else is new, right?)

Thank you for taking some time to write this post. Pet owners and vets are divided in two very distinct camps when it comes to homemade dog food recipes. There are the naysayers who consider that food prepared at home lacks certain very important nutrients and minerals and there are the ones who consider dogs should eat homemade food.

The principle advantage from sustaining a natively constructed count calories for your dog is that you will know, certain, what your dog is really eating. This takes away bunches of the worries associated with man made fixings, fillers, undesirable grains and different substances respected superfluous or potentially unfortunate for dog. I find https://pawsometalk.com/ this very good website about the pet. You can visit this site.
