Our article " cook for the dog - basic info " many readers seem to like it. Now we get 
every now and then asking if we no longer write about it, or could even make accurate information about how much to get the dog exactly what. Well, more about the desire writing, we like to come to, but the desire for specific quantities and demand information, we can not meet the best of intentions. For the nutrient and energy needs is simply too different and depends on many factors. Age, race, size and weight of the dog play a role, such as the activity of the dog, any diseases, environmental conditions, etc. (more about this in the article "How much food does the dog?") Specific details such as: " The dog needs as much grams of this and so many grams are to be balanced diet, you can make such sweeping the best will not, because that would simply frivolous. But now let's face it, dear bipeds: Who expects of you is for himself or his children the exact nutritional needs of exactly to the gram and eats strictly followed? No one. In humans, it is assumed that a varied diet is sufficient in freshly prepared, high quality ingredients, balanced diet to be. And if you look at it and feel healthy and fit all the values in the medical check-ups are in the green area, one can expect to eat a healthy and balanced. And just as we also consider it in terms of the nutrition of the dog. We believe it is true and important, to worry about feeding the dog, but until the last gram will be the need hardly compute it. Therefore, we think: You should take the issue of dog food while serious, but to make crazy does not help further. A certain factor "rule of thumb" is in our view inevitable. And even when feeding commercial food, this factor is necessary since the feeding recommendations of the manufacturer (any variety) are also to be understood only as a rough guide.
Therefore, we can only speak from our own experience. My values were in the final veterinary check-ups are above average and my mistress in mind when cooking for the dog (so, to me, o) is essentially just following seven rules:
- 1) If possible, fresh ingredients of good quality. As we have already mentioned, we prefer organic. Limits or maximum permitted levels of chemical residues in foods are known to be always focused on human consumption. We assume that the people still permissible limits for the dog actually already are too much. We would like to point out, however, that this is only a guess - because the scientific investigation has been, unfortunately, not yet. Nevertheless, we believe that they constantly rising Number of cancers in dogs with food must hang together. Even if the has not yet been scientifically studied and proven. How to vet including -doktor.de is read, after all, suffer twice as many dogs as people with cancer. A fact which gives us food for thought. (Read more in the bottom third of our article "What's in in dog food? )
- 2) Varied cooking and feeding. This is not meant to accommodate as many different feed components in a meal. On the contrary, the use of a protein source (Variety meats) per meal, and a variety cereal as an energy source (starch) is according to our information from a nutritional point of view much more sense and improves the digestibility. It is different from the vegetables: here we like to combine. In human medicine, there is proof that a combination of vegetables that grow above ground and those that grow under the earth in green, white and orange help to prevent cancer and other diseases. As I said - in human medicine. Whether the knowledge transferred in this form to the dog, has not been explored. Nevertheless, we believe that it can not hurt and apply it as often as possible.
To Equal to anticipate misunderstandings, we want to say here, do not alter the development of cancer can be prevented. If it does, however, found in the diet of the people as this will help is to prevent cancer and is also recommended in special cancer diet so, then we take the short hand in the dog feeding, and hope - as long as there is no scientific proof had been given - simply to that it applies to the dog. Apart from that I like it! O)
with varied feeding and that means: meat and offal from one variety per meal, a species of cereal, several kinds of vegetables in the above combination. And then as often change the composition of the meals. Plays millet in poultry and vegetables, sometimes fish with rice and vegetables, etc.
- 3) Important: vegetables and meat we cook gently. Seared should be off limits to dogs! Cereals, rice, millet, oats, etc., must be cooked soft.
- 4) Make sure we have regular check-ups, that mistress and do everything right and my values are all OK. My food is roughly matched with our vet on me, but non-calculated exactly up to the gram. Our vet is always good mistress to answer questions, no matter how many questions it my mistress pestering on this subject. O)
- 5) There are special vitamin mix / mineral mixtures for dogs that can enforce the self-cooked food. We personally use such means are not. Because to me there simply was not necessary. Instead, there is something salmon-hemp oil, sometimes a little olive oil, canola, corn or sunflower oil, sometimes a few drops of evening primrose oil in the feed. (For example Lund Erland - Evening Primrose Oil 50ml ) on nutritional supplements and the effects of units of varying feed additives but later we will come again in a separate article back and write some more.
- 6) If we can not mention that my mum though hard, but everyone else is not for me every day. In between, there are prefabricated lining of Terra Pura (organic feed) on the reports we had in our dog food test ever detail. Sometimes she combined with freshly cooked ready-organic feed. Since Terra Pura and-serve vegetables and 100% poultry meat offers & offal as feed supplement, it is possible to combine fine here as needed to determine the meat content itself and to round the dogs dinner with potatoes, rice or millet. More here about the new foods . Of Herrmann's there, for example, millet flakes, rice flakes or mixtures of vegetables, with which one can even combine organic meat cooked or canned. (For example, food friend -> Men's Supplements ) How is the cook her own support for the dog not a big effort and even on days where time is something scarce, yet feasible.
- 7) The only numbers that we call now: For me (Warning - the ratio or the demand can vary from dog to dog) is my mistress mistress, the meat content (including offal) or proportion of fish at 40-60%. The rest will consist of vegetables (30-40%) .. and the rest (about 20-30%, depending on how the other percentages distributed) either from potato, millet, rice, etc. more times in succession. (What many do not know: too high meat content can also be harmful, and only pure muscle meat is also not ideal, it may find muscle meat calm and offal to be included - but ideally all of one species should liver, however, a maximum of 1 to x per week in UK.. menu available.) the vegetable share, we keep quite high, because this is recommended for osteoarthritis and fiber especially important for older dogs. Once a week there for me vegetarian diet instead of meat there either cottage cheese (fresh cheese), an egg, or sometimes Quark or plain yogurt as a source of animal protein. I like it very much and it gets me good.
As I said, these are all only our own experience that can not be transferred to generalize to all dogs. For the specific case, we recommend that you seek advice in addition to the vet and detail. On the subject of cooking for dogs, "we are safe here several times back because there are still a lot to write. And besides, I have also still not betray my favorite recipes.
