Homemade Raw Food
Making your own raw dog food has the advantage of giving you complete control over what your dog eats. This makes homemade a great option for dogs with food sensitivities or health concerns. It’s also more cost effective to make your own than to buy pre-made raw food from a store.
More Than Meat
Creating your own doggy menu involves a lot more than simply serving chicken breast or ground beef every meal. Muscle meat on its own does not contain all of the nutrients that your dog needs for sustained health.
A special meal of steak or chicken breast once in a while is fine (your dog will agree!), but for regular feeding you’ll need to incorporate bones, organ meat, and, if you want, fruits and veggies, plus an essential fatty acid to prevent deficiencies.
Myth #1: A Raw Meat Diet Isn’t A Balanced Diet
One of the main myths that big pet food companies spread when it comes to discouraging dog owners from feeding a raw diet is that it isn’t balanced, and doesn’t provide for all of your dog’s nutritional requirements.
It’s true that feeding your dog a juicy steak won’t provide all of the nutrients he needs to thrive. But, this isn’t what a commercially prepared raw diet or a proper homemade diet is about.
Feeding a raw diet to your dog is about much more than just meat. Dogs fed a raw diet require variety in their meals to provide all of the vitamins and minerals they need for optimum nutrition. You also need to add bones, essential fatty acids and crucial supporting vitamins and minerals to make a balanced diet that will keep your dog fit for life.
Myth #2: Feeding Raw Meat Places Your Dog At Risk Of Salmonella
Various well-publicized health scares over the last couple of decades have made consumers very wary of the threat of salmonella and other bacterial nasties. What’s ironic with these reports is that no one seems to make a big deal when commercial kibbles are recalled due to contamination.
Ideally your dog’s digestive system can handle bacteria in the gut without a problem. Dogs’ bodies are built to prevent harmful bacteria like salmonella from invading the body and upsetting the healthy balance of intestinal flora. Dogs have highly acidic stomachs as well as natural digestive enzymes and bile that help them process Salmonella and other bacteria without becoming ill.
It’s when dogs are fed kibble that things become an issue. Kibble doesn’t contain those live enzymes, so your dog’s digestive system can become overrun.
You can further avoid bacterial contamination if you choose, store and prepare your dog’s meals with good hygiene protocols in mind and get his meat from reputable suppliers.
Myth #3: Feeding A Raw Meat Diet Is Time Consuming And Complicated
If you’re planning to go out with a bow and arrow and hunt down prey before dragging it home and preparing it for your dog from scratch then sure, that’s probably going to take up most of your time.
However, choosing and buying the right ingredients to make up a complete raw meat diet for your dog is no more time consuming than shopping for yourself, and you don’t need a degree in canine nutrition to get things right!
Myth #4: Most Dog Owners Can’t Afford To Feed Raw
If you’re transitioning your dog from a low cost, generic store-bought dog food brand to a raw meat diet, chances are it’s going to cost you more to provide each of your dog’s meals.
However, feeding a raw diet may be less costly than you think. Good quality but cheaper cuts of meat, bones and organs don’t have to cost a lot.
Source out a local butcher or farm to save and look for cheaper cuts of meat that will provide just as much nutrition.
If you’re concerned about your dog’s nutrition and want to feed a good quality diet, you’re probably already paying a premium for good quality kibble or commercial food.
Myth #5: A Raw Diet Will Make Your Dog Aggressive
This is one of the biggest myths surrounding feeding a raw meat diet to dogs, and perhaps the one that has done the most damage.
The thought that feeding your dog a healthy, complete raw diet will turn him into a slathering beast with insatiable bloodlust is based on nothing but fear.
Feeding a raw meat diet won’t make your dog aggressive, but as with any food that your dog really enjoys, some dogs may be defensive or territorial when eating and won’t want to share!
Teaching your dog good manners and polite behaviour around food is essential, regardless of the type of diet he eats. A raw meat diet won’t cause or worsen any behavioural problems in your dog, nor turn him into an aggressive monster.
Myth #6: It’s Dangerous To Give Bones To Your Dog
It’s a fact – not all bones are suitable for dogs.
Small, fine bones that may splinter and cooked bones that are brittle can pose a hazard to your dog’s health. However, any proponent of raw feeding will tell you that bones of those types aren’t included in a raw meat diet for dogs.
Wild dogs and wolves gnaw on raw bones to get essential calcium and to help to keep their teeth clean and strong. Providing that you choose dog-safe bones and prepare them correctly to match your dog’s size and life stage, they make up an essential, healthy, highly palatable addition to your dog’s diet.
Myth #7: A Raw Meat Diet Isn’t Suitable For Small And Toy Dog Breeds
Many people think of a raw meat diet as something that is suitable exclusively for large, robust working dog breeds, and that you shouldn’t feed raw to small and toy dogs.
This myth arose from a fear of choking on bones, which we’ve covered in myth number 6 above. There is no reason at all why your pint-sized pooch can’t enjoy a raw meat diet alongside their larger cousins. As long as the diet is planned and served up in the right way to meet the needs of your own individual dog.
Bones that are good picks for smaller dogs include chicken or duck necks and wings, and lamb riblets.
