As a pet owner, no doubt you want to give your dog or cat the
best care possible. And caring for your pet means feeding him
the best diet you can.
Animals, because they are color blind, choose their foods by
smell. Most dogs like gamey flavors best, as well as liver, fat,
onions, horsemeat, lamb, beef, cheese and fish. Cats enjoy
chicken, liver, fish, turkey, lamb, and yeast, and prefer fresh
to aged flavors.
Remember that cats
are fussy eaters and it is not wise to continually feed them
their favorite foods. Soon they will refuse to eat anything
else; it is your job to see your cat has a balanced diet.
Animals do not need salt added to their diet as the natural
salt in the food is enough for them.
Dogs may eat any vegetable they want, but cats
should not have any starchy veggies, like peas and corn. Some
dogs and cats
even enjoy fruits!
It's a good idea to always add a grain, such as Kibble,
wheat germ, cooked oatmeal or whole wheat bread to meat dinners.
For dogs use 75% carbohydrate foods (grains and vegetables) to
25%meat; for cats
use half carbohydrate foods to half meat.
You will find, once you begin making your own pet foods, that
it is really relatively simple and you will save some money
as well. remember that all pet foods should be served at
room temperature; don't serve food cold from the refrigerator nor
hot from the stove.
Incidentally, you should know that cats
should be fed three times a day, while an adult dog needs only
one meal a day.
