Our pets are also family so treat them well by feeding them organic food. I hear so many stories of pets getting cancer these days. They are susceptible to toxins as humans are and maybe more so due to their small stature. There are no regulations on dog food either. You may remember the dog food scare where dogs died because there was melamine in the food!!! Read more about contaminated dog food.
Some dogs develop allergies and need special food. Others develop rashes and scratch which could also be from a food allergy or some mystery substance in their food used as a filler. EWG Research on Dog Food.
Our dogs love their organic food!!! My friend makes her own dog food too and has offered her recipe for those that want to try something new for their furry friend. I recommend using organic or hormone free beef, chicken or turkey as well as organic veggies. See the "Dirty Dozen" list and watch Dr Weil's video as to which fruits and veggies should definitely be organic.
Dana's Doggie Dinner:
Start with about 3/4 chopped carrots that I cook in about 2 cups of simmering water until soft (add any other fresh veggies you may want to throw in if you don't want to use frozen)
Do not discard the water.
Add about 1/2 cup of rolled oats and 1/4 cup of ground flax seeds to the water until absorbed.
At this point, I add about another 1/2 cup to a cup of frozen veggies ( fresh vegetables can be added when the carrots are cooking)
Add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan along with
1 and 1/2 to 2 pounds of ground beef, chicken or turkey.
Mix together and cook through (I leave beef rare).
When the mixture had cooled I add a bunch of chopped parsley, which is great for dogs.
If you don't have the time to make your own dog food, buy organic and protect your furry friends by feeding them the best. Organic Dog Food
