I've gotten an email about the numerous of dog treats they recalled recently and then another one today. I don't know what is going on, but it's time to make my own. I had to go to the Vet's office for some issues earlier and questioned her about homemade dog treats, and she gave me copy of recipes. I thought it was treat until I got my glasses on. I don't plan to cook homemade dog food for him (but maybe he would eat better if I did). There are certain ingredients that a dog needs to have in their diet she told me. Can anyone tell me what exactly these are and where you purchase them~? Does a homemade rice with veggies need to have these ingredients or homemade dog bones/treats~? The ingredients are:

potassium chloride
dicalcium phosphate
calcium carbonate

Most of these recipes calls for 1 and most call for all of these ingredients. I didn't think of asking her when I was there cause I don't plan to make the homemade dog food since I don't eat meat (I'm vegetarian). Also, why vegetable oil~? Can't you use oil oil or grape-seed oil~?
