Homemade Dog Foods
Many
owners are turning to homemade treats verses store-bought or processed treats and snacks. The health benefits of homemade
treats parallel our human need to snack healthier and live healthier lives, so it only makes sense that we not only want the best nutrition for ourselves, but also for petsafe of our canine companions. Sometimes the
food you buy in stores are not safe and to be on the safe side you will want to feed your
homemade
food. Should that ever be the case, all that is required is a simple mix of meat, vegetables and starches.
From 50% to 70% of the ingredients should be meat, such as beef or chicken. Be sure to take all the bones out first, as dogs can choke on bones, especially soft chicken bones. The remainder of the meal should be made up of carbohydrates and vegetables. Good carbohydrates are potatoes or rice. Do not use pasta or any other carbohydrates made from corn, wheat or soy, since they are not good for dogs.
Good vegetables to use are: carrots, peas, green beans, spinach, beans, cabbage, yams, sweet potatoes, etc. Also, ask your vet as to what vitamins and minerals should be added to your dog’s meal. The amount you should feed your
varies, and depends upon the size, breed, age and activity level of your dog. John Miller’s Book has hundreds of
food recipes based on the above building blocks, and has recommendations as to serving sizes and other things to take into account when cooking for your dog.
Homemade
foods and treats are safer since you have more control on what your

Marley a.k.a Little Bit is a male neutered 1 year old beautiful Black Labrador Retriever who was given as a gift to a family that was in no way prepared for what was about to happen.
At first Marley was tiny, cuddly, sweet, soft, and wooed his way into every ones heart with oodles of puppy breath and little kisses, but the peace and serenity was short lived. In no time at all, Marley grew into a big ball of high energy, and typical of his breed, Marley soon came to resemble an out of control Union Pacific locomotive. Click below to see pictures of Marley/Little Bit and read more.
Kris is a large young male Labrador Retriever German Shepherd mix who wondered right through the front door of a hospital in Arkadelphia Arkansas on Christmas day looking for some Christmas Cheer.
Everywhere Kris wandered that Christmas day, he would have been able to smell Christmas dinner wafting through the air, and by now he was probably more than just a little hungry for some turkey and dressing. Lucky for Kris, a kind Samaritan at the hospital decided to help, especially since Kris didn't have any health insurance. Click below to see pictures of Kris and read more.
Mandy is a beautiful little female Shepherd mix pup with a dazzling personality.
If something is going on, Mandy is right there checking it out. If nothing particularly interesting is happening, Mandy will make something interesting out of thin air. It's hard to be around her for more than a minute or two without laughing.
Toby is a baby Golden Retriever Chow Chow mix puppy who was found alone and crying for food and water as a stray.
Toby ended up at the Little Rock Dog Pound where, like many of the animals, they had little chance of getting adopted or making it out of the shelter without becoming sick. Toby was so young when first found he had to be put with a nursing mother.
Molly is a charming 2 year old female mix breed.
Molly was found starving in a ditch. It took her rescuer two days to catch her. At first scared and cautious, Molly had to learn to trust people again. She has come a long way and has become a wonderful little dog.
Cinnamon is an extremely sweet and friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog, Cattle dog mix, who loves everyone she meets.
Cinnamon was found running down the middle of Cantrell Road in Little Rock, Arkansas around lunch time trying to get someone's attention. She was probably dumped at Allsop Park right before Christmas.
Scooter is a friendly 3 year old mix breed canine companion who loves car rides.
Scooter gets along with other dogs and cats. Scooter likes car rides and is leashed trained. He is known to sneak onto the couch and bed, and loves to run and play.
Trixie is a charming medium sized mixed breed female with a curly tail any dog would be proud to sport.
Trixie was dropped off at the pound, where she waited and waited for someone to notice her and take her home. Eventually time ran out for Trixie, and she was in grave jeopardy of a grim fate. Fortunately she managed to pull off a last minute reprieve when she managed to catch the attention of a visiting DogsOnly volunteer.
Girl is a young medium sized German Shepherd mix who was dumped outside the front door of her rescuer.
When Girl and her Brother were discovered, they were both little skeletons, and badly in need of immediate care and attention. Fortunately their rescuer is a dog lover who didn't waste any time getting them both well taken care of. All Girl needs now is a home where her family has the time and patience to keep working on Girl's training and to show her the care and affection she deserves.
Boy is a young medium sized German Shepherd mix who was dumped outside the front door of his rescuer.
When Boy and his sister Girl were discovered, they were both little skeletons, and badly in need of immediate care and attention. Fortunately their rescuer is a dog lover who didn't waste any time getting them both well taken care of. All Boy needs now is a home where his family has the time and patience to keep working on Boy's training and to show him the care and affection he deserves.
Winnie is a sweet and friendly female wire haired terrier mix puppy.
Winnie was picked up by Little Rock Animal Services and taken to the shelter to compete with all the other dogs and puppies for the attention of the few people willing to endure the noise and distress of the barking and crying.
Rooster is a handsome little male Border Collie Australian Shepherd mix puppy who was found along the side of the road in rural Arkansas near the community of Whitehall.
Rooster and his litter mates were taken to the local shelter, but like most rural shelters, they have little time and resource to keep any animals they rescue for very long. The future was looking bleak for little Rooster until a couple of hard working rescue volunteers heard of his plight and pulled him from the shelter.
