A Convenient Homemade Recipe

Many people believe that purchasing dog food is just as healthy as making it yourself. It certainly seems to be more convenient, too. After making this homemade turkey meatloaf for dogs, I’m not sure it’s that much more difficult to make at home! But commercially-made food works better for some people. Whether you buy canned or dried dog food, be sure to check the ingredients list to make sure there aren’t any hidden additives.

You should also double-check that there haven’t been any recalls for the brand you are considering. There are a few sites that send emails with updates on dog food recalls. I use Dog Food Advisor to look for recalls and to receive ongoing recall alerts.

Store-bought food is definitely more convenient, but our homemade meatloaf for dogs is much more nutritious, and though it seems like a lot of effort, when you take into consideration how long it takes you to get to the store, find the right healthy food for your dog and then make your way home, the amount of effort it takes to make your own dog food is negligible.

Our meatloaf for dogs takes the hassle out of making your own dog food while keeping all of the goodness and nutrition in.

How to Choose the Right Ingredients for Dog Food Recipes

Choosing ingredients for dog food recipes is actually quite easy. Think of the type of food you would eat; nutrient-dense vegetables and lean proteins. That idea works for dogs, too! This homemade turkey loaf recipe for dogs can be modified to fit your dog’s special dietary needs. For example, if your dog has an allergy to poultry, use beef, pork, or ground beef instead. The egg can also be eliminated if necessary.

To increase the nutritional value of this recipe with more vitamins and minerals, I often add any or all of the following:

• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• 1/3 cup of your dog’s favorite veggies (I like to use diced white mushrooms)
• 1/2 cup diced baby spinach, asparagus, or broccoli in place of green beans
• Add more vitamin A with sweet potatoes or tomato paste

Keep in mind that you should always check with your veterinarian before making any changes to your dog’s diet. Also, please be aware of any allergies your pet may have to specific ingredients and avoid ingredients that have caused reactions in your pets in the past. If you are unsure about an ingredient found in one of our recipes, introduce the food to your pets in small amounts first.

Janine had this to say:

I have seen SUCH a huge change in my 18-year-old diabetic dog since she’s been eating this. Her blood sugar levels are incredible, she hasn’t urinated in the house in weeks, and she has more energy. I slice it up, give her one or two slices (chopped), and mix it with chicken and her prescription diabetic soft food. Before making this for her, I thought she was on her way out, as she stopped eating. Now she’s like a puppy again!!!

Jen made this recipe for her two beloved pets and said:

I made this for my puppers and they are going ga-ga over it!!!! I have a Jack Russel & an itty bitty Yorkie and they are just loving this so far! Thanks for the great recipe and I look forward to trying more!
