In recent years, due to many factors, homemade dog food has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Homemade dog food can be seen everywhere on post bars, forums, Weibo, and a treasure. Many netizens are also asking about homemade dog food. Let me tell you about the problem of homemade dog food.

Choose three kinds of self-made people

The first kind of people are mostly He chose homemade dog food because of the safety, nutrition, shortage of imported supplies and disappointment with the entire domestic dog food manufacturing industry.

The second is because the price of imported dog food for medium and large dogs is too high and the economic burden increases, so they choose homemade dog food.

The third is the concept of advocating what people eat and what dogs eat. They disdain the value of pet food, so they choose homemade dog food.

What is the reason?

1. Hearsay on the Internet + your own imagination = you can make dog food. Many parents who choose homemade dog food do this. Baidu looks up what ingredients are needed, wash, cut, chop, chop, mix and steam, and the dog food is ready. As long as dogs like it, it will be a success.

2. Some parents think that the threshold for homemade dog food is very low, and it can be done casually. Mistakenly thought that as long as the daily kitchen utensils are enough, this is not the case.

3. In the process of homemade dog food, most parents think that the process is very simple, but it is not the case. The selection of ingredients, cleaning, including the refrigeration and freezing of meat are extremely demanding (for example, The FDA stipulates that fish meat should be frozen at -35°C for more than 15 hours or -20°C for more than 72 hours, etc.).

4. No matter whether you keep a dog or not, we all know that freshness is health, and visibility is safety. Parents always think that the raw materials they buy are safe and fresh, is that true? Rapeseed and rapeseed oil are toxic without treatment. Many raw materials in dog food are not soaked for a long time, treated with high temperature and high pressure, etc. Certainly not safe.

Can parents make their own? The answer is yes:

A: Understand the physiological stage characteristics of the dogs and make different Nutritional requirements table.

B: Carefully study pet nutrition (physiology, nutrition, food science, etc.), deepen the application knowledge of protein, fat, amino acid, vitamin and other nutrition one by one, and calculate the dietary structure of the dog at one time.

C: Buy dog food production equipment, grinders, meat grinders, mixers, sterilizers, etc.

D: Be sure to consider the depletion and side effects of homemade dog food on nutrients, and handle accordingly.

E: Long-term observation and statistics of the changes in dogs after eating.
