Home-Prepared Diets for Dogs, Part Three: Cooked Diets TAKE CONTROL OF WHAT YOUR DOG EATS!

Cooking for your dog is much like cooking for yourself...

You want the food to taste good and be good for you! But your dog has some special needs that are important to know beforehand. For instance:

- Some grains are fine (learn which), but dogs do not require carbohydrates.

- You should never feed cooked whole bones (unless prepared a certain way).

- Herbs and spices are no problem, but one can cause anemia.

With “Cooked Diets” you’ll be prepared to feed your dog exactly what she wants and needs. You’ll learn the proper calcium/phosphorous ratio (which is vital!), which supplements are necessary (and which to avoid) and the right quantities for your dog’s size and weight (and why puppies need to be fed 3 to 4 meals a day).

Preparing your dog’s meals may be a little more work, but when your vet says “She’s in perfect health” you’ll know it was well worth it. So finally take control of what your dog is eating and order your copy of “Cooked Diets” today.
