Dog Food & Nutrition

Everyone enjoys a good stir fry, even our dogs. This chicken and kale stir fry for dogs recipe would make a great meal for your pets or your human family members. Homemade dog food is a great option, when it's properly prepared. It's important to consult an expert on canine nutrition before switching your pet to a homemade diet.

If you buy canned food for your pets, you've probably struggled to find a way to keep it arranged in your cupboards. The Duke-N-Boots canned food organizer makes it easy to keep all of your pet's food together and your pantry organized. Organization is key in our house. We have 3 dogs and 7 cats. Some of our pets are seniors, while others are young. We have to buy many types of food to keep everyone happy and healthy. Not to mention, we have a lot of canned human food too.

Providing the right nutrition for your dog is all about balanced nutrition. High protein homemade dog food isn't going to be right for every dog. Be sure to discuss any dietary changes with your veterinarian or a trained canine nutritionist before making the switch. Protein isn't just the building block of muscle. It also aids in nerve function and helps to build strong bones.

Most dogs love chicken, but getting your pet to eat sage could be a challenge. These sage dog biscuits are a favorite with our pack, and they offer a lot of nutritional benefits. In small amounts, sage is safe for dogs to eat. It is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, so it is especially good for dogs with arthritis and other inflammation issues. Sage is a superfood ingredient, when used in small quantities. If you feed too much sage, it could cause gastrointestinal upset.

Urinary tract infections are fairly common in dogs, and they're usually not something to be too concerned about. This dog food recipe for UTI issues may help your pet, but it's important to run the recipe past your veterinarian first. If you believe that your dog has a urinary tract infection, you need to consult your veterinarian for a urinalysis in order to be sure. Your veterinarian will want a urine sample from your pet, and I've made a quick guide on how to obtain one easily.

Cranberries and coconut are both superfoods for dogs. These coconut and cranberry dog treats are an easy way to add some extra nutrients to your pets diet. Cranberries are high in fiber and antioxidants, which help prevent disease and boost your dog's immune system. Adding cranberries to your dog's diet can also help if he is having urinary tract issues.

Cinnamon is often added to human food recipes to jazz up the flavor and add some additional nutrients. This cinnamon banana dog treat recipe can do the same for your pet! Cinnamon has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. If your dog is older or overweight, adding cinnamon to his diet has also been shown to reduce the risk of developing diabetes.

Ear infections in dogs are a common problem, and some dogs get them more than others. Homemade dog food for ear infections are also known as yeast starvation recipes, and they help to reduce one of the most common causes of ear infections in dogs.

You may think that selecting a commercial dog food that is labeled as a 'senior' dog food will be good enough for your aging pet. These types of dog food recipe for senior dogs are formulated for the "average" senior dog, and don't have your pet's unique needs in mind.
