Home Crocked Dog Food May Solve Many Medical Problems.

Introduction to Home-Crocked Dog Food

Once they tried the slow-cooking recipe in Dog Dish Diet, many of my clients and readers fell in love with the idea and practice of home cooking for their dogs. I have to admit that I am now cooking for my dogs 95% of the time.

Why would dog owners want to cook for their dogs?

1. 1. Some people need to know exactly what is in their dog’s food to help with medical conditions. If you add an ingredient or two at a time, then you may be able to determine what ingredients cause ear, bowel, or skin problems in your dog.

1. 2. Home-crocked dog food contains less preservatives and processing chemicals. Recalls and troublesome chemicals are often in the news. Once you are comfortable with the process of home crocking, you won’t have to worry about these alarming reports.

1. 3. Home-crocking dog food allows you to control the ingredients with the ease and economics of slow cooking. Home crocking dog food can be less expensive and more healthful than most commercial dog foods. Slow-cooking for your dog may both save you money and make you part of the “pet health care team”

Most dogs seem to thrive on commercial food, however many dogs with moderate to severe itchy skin, chronic ear infections, hotspots, soft stool or diarrhea, seizures, kidney and bladder problems, pancreatitis, diabetes  and other chronic medical problems may need different and healthier ingredients or a home-cooked diet for their medical condition to improve.

For those dogs that suffer from moderate to severe chronic skin and ear allergies or bowel problems, home cooking may be the best way to avoid endless cycles of costly veterinary tests and treatments. Home- crocking dog food may help you decide what ingredients work best for your dog instead of buying expensive prescription diets. I have watched many clients buy an expensive hypoallergenic or prescription food only to throw it away after their dog refused to eat it. Home crocking dog food allows you to try different ingredients out on your dog and use that information to buy different a commercial dog food with different ingredients or to try different slow cooking recipes!

I’m a Vet, not a Certified Canine Nutritionist

Before we jump in, let me explain my credentials and how I got started cooking for my pets. While I am not a certified canine nutritionist, I have been practicing veterinary medicine for over 30 years. I’ve been using nutrition along with traditional medicine in my practice for more than 10 years now with excellent results. Thousands of clients have followed my simple nutritional advice offered in Dog Dish Diet, and many others have decided to cook for their dogs, using a slow-cooking recipe in the book.  Many of those dogs have shown improvement with chronic medical problems that had plagued them for anywhere from a few weeks to years. In my experience, not all dogs will recover or show improvement on a homemade diet, but it is very easy and cost-effective to try. It is certainly cheaper than the cycles of endless tests and medications that some very allergic dogs have to endure. Even if the medical problems do not completely disappear, your dog will be healthier and happier with your home-crocked dog food!

The nutritional successes of the past 10 years have convinced me how important the diet can be in treating many chronic medical problems. I now make nutrition an integral component of treatment for many medical problems.  Combining nutrition counseling and medication is often much more successful than using medication alone. In fact, the truth is, most of the time I can’t cure chronic skin, ear, bowel, and bladder problems with medication alone. Some dogs will continually itch; have constant ear or bladder infections; or seizures even with constant medication. Even a small percentage of seizuring dogs improve with a better diet. I have found that these problems can be dealt with far easier using a combination of nutrition and medication.  The amount and frequency of medications for skin, ear, urinary, bowel, or seizure problems may be needed far less, or not at all. For example, if the offending ingredients in the diet are removed, and healthy ones are introduced, the skin may get healthier, the ears and bladder infection may clear up, and the amount of seizuring or level of medication needed may decrease in some dogs. Doesn’t that make it worth trying?
