After the recent episode of pet food poisoning, consumers were asked how they felt about feeding prepackaged food. Almost 70% of consumers said they were concerned with packaged foods. Half of these consumers said they were extremely concerned, and 20% are considering feeding home-cooked meals.
The latest issue of the Whole Dog Journal will help consumers interested in switching to raw or home-cooked diets. For recipes and success stories on using home-cooked and raw diets for pets, visit the Journal's website: http://www.whole-dog-journal.com. In every case these folks report their dog's health improved when switched from packaged to raw or home-cooked meals. The article mentions places to purchase bones, meat, and other ingredients, and describes supplements used to ensure complete nutrition.
If feeding raw or home-cooked meals, feed them warm rather than cold. Cold, raw food is difficult to digest and increases the likelihood that dogs will develop diarrhea.
