    Me? Cook for my dogs? No, it takes a lot of knowledge of the proper ingredients, and time, to give them exactly what they need. A lot of people do it, but few do it correctly.

    There are books available on formulating your own pet (dog) food, but I will leave that up to folks who make it their business to make good food.

    Now, finding a good food isn't easy. Especially when you have TV commercials from huge pet food companies that have unlimited marketing dollars. They can give you lines like: "and it's so good for them", and that's all the public has to hear! People think, 'Well, they wouldn't lie to us'. Oh yes they will... and do! Publications like the "Whole Dog Journal" and "The Truth About Pet Food" make it their business to check on whether what the pet food companies are telling you is the truth or not. So it's best to refer to their food ratings to find "the good stuff".

    • GREAT answer. And, a good reminder that if one is going to take charge of an animal's diet, you should do it with professional guidance!

      When we had to switch our dog to a homemade recipe, we did it with the help of 2 vets and several consultations with the Vet Food department at UC Davis.

      And a great reminder to check out the ingredients in your pet's food. We should all do the same for the prepared food we buy for ourselves!

      Cheers!
