The Benefits Of Organic Dog Treat Recipes

By Tammie Caldwell


More and more pet parents are starting to make homemade treats and snacks rather than buy them prepackaged. There are so many brands in the stores that contain ingredients that are not healthy for pets. With so many benefits to baking your own, there are a number of organic dog treat recipes available. Many folks have begun to change their own eating habits to include healthier foods and understand that pets need improved nutrition also.

When you make your pet snacks you are providing benefits such as variety, better taste, health and safety. It is important to keep your dog from ingesting ingredients that are contaminated. Making your own snacks allows you, first hand, to know what goes into them. Making your own or buy homemade snacks provides control of ingredients and better choices for your dog.

You will know what is going into your pets snacks and that they are free of chemicals. You can also avoid the preservatives that are commonly used in commercial products. The chemicals and preservatives can be harmful to your pet. Research has shown that chemicals in commercial snacks, foods, and treats, actually inhibit good behaviors in dogs. This is due to the adverse chemical interaction with the brain.

Most folks already know how preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, and chemicals affect humans. Now studies show that these same chemicals and additives can cause aggressive behaviors in your pet. With this knowledge it only makes good sense to switch to homemade organic snacks for your dog. If you are seeing ingredients in your pet snacks that you would not eat you might not want to feed them to your pet.

If pets could talk they would quickly tell you they prefer the homemade snacks for their taste. If you want to be honest, you would most likely prefer the taste of goodies made at home than the packaged treats from the stores. For example, cookies that have been sitting on the store shelf are not as flavorful or fresh as when baked at home.

Most people today are paying attention to how much fat is in the foods they eat to help keep a healthy heart. This should also be the same consideration you have for your pet. Making your own snacks allows you to select ingredients that are lower in fat. When you offer your pets a snack low in fats you are helping promote a healthy heart and lower the chance of obesity. As pets get older it is very important to provide good natural nutrition.

If you are making your own treats you also have the opportunity to add ingredients that will promote healthy gums and teeth. Having a clean healthy mouth is as important for your pet as it is for you. Additionally, you are able to include ingredients to help provide your pet with a healthy coat.

Your pet will appreciate the love that goes into making their snacks. Recipes for various snacks for your dog can be found online. Folks who do not have time to make their own snacks, can buy from online shops. You will find a number of bakeries that provide healthy dog treats.
