Perfect Homemade Teddy Dog Food: Tips & Precautions

Section 1: Homemade Dog Food Recipes:

Recipe 1:

Ingredients: 500g of pork bone, 500g of duck meat, 500g of chicken breast, and 750g of carrots.

Preparation: Cut the meats into small pieces and boil them with the pork bone in a pot, using only water and no spices. Once cooked, chop the carrots into pieces, add a tiny pinch of salt (not too much, as dogs should not consume highsodium foods), and mix well. Combine all ingredients in a rice cooker and cook for one and a half hours. Allow the mixture to cool, then divide it into portions according to your dog's appetite and store in the refrigerator. Reheat the food to a boil before serving and let it cool down again before feeding your dog.

Recipe 2:

Ingredients: Pork, olive oil, carrots, white mushrooms, tomato sauce, broth, sugar, and flour.

Preparation: Cut the pork into small pieces and slice the carrots and white mushrooms. Heat a little olive oil in a pan, sauté the pork, carrots, and mushrooms, then add the tomato sauce and cook for a while. Pour in the broth and add a small amount of sugar. Finally, mix flour with a little water and pour it into the pan, reducing the heat and simmering for 20 minutes.

Recipe 3:

Ingredients: 1 pound of fresh chicken liver, 4 eggs, 2 pounds of corn flour, 200g of flour, 5g of salt, and a little baking soda.

Preparation: Chop the chicken liver into minced meat or use a food processor. Mix with the eggs and set aside. Combine all the ingredients, mix well, and then steam for half an hour.

Section 2: Important Notes for Homemade Dog Food:

1. Ensure a variety of foods with a balance of meat and vegetables to maintain nutritional equilibrium.

2. Avoid feeding your dog the same type of food for extended periods.

3. Do not introduce a new food type too quickly or in large quantities.

4. Familiarize yourself with food taboos for dogs, knowing which foods are safe and which to avoid, such as onions, chocolate, and more.

5. Gradually transition to new ingredients:

If your dog has been on commercial dog food, switch to homemade food gradually. Sudden changes in diet can lead to digestive issues or stomach upset. Start by adding small amounts and adjust based on your dog's response.

6. Pay attention to food temperature:

Do not feed your dog food that is too hot. Some pet owners rush to feed their dogs when they smell the food, but hot food can damage the dog's oral mucosa, potentially leading to mouth inflammation over time.
