It is what works for me balancing my need to have control of what is in their food and convenience (they have both been on raw in the past). Both my dogs are small, and it really isn't that bad to cook/prepare their food ahead of time. What it boils down to for me is the control...Home-cooking gives me the greatest control on what goes in (quality and quantity), how it is prepared, and how it is stored. So far, so good. And my dog with the health issues? Currently her vet declares her to be the healthiest she has ever been! |
This is exactly the conclusion that I am coming to as well. I think in the end the ONLY way to know for sure what is going into your dogs food is by making it yourself! I used to make huge batches and freeze it in portions and then add good supplements. I think I'm going to consider doing that again. Means giving up a Saturday once a month but I think it's worth it in the end for the peace of mind in knowing my dogs are getting healthy food. I wish it was that easy for cats!
