I have a dog but she is having health related problems for last 2-3 months, before that she was perfectly okay. I have consulted with Vet too, but he told me that it may be because of unhealthy and commercial food; so i should prepare home made food.
so my question; is there any guide available where i can learn preparing healthy dog food recipes? any help is appreciated.What are the best healthy dog food recipes, i can serve my dog?
There are guides, there are also Yahoo Groups that are based around home made dog foods, You can go do Yahoo Groups and search for them. As far as the best goes that is a matter of the individual dog and opinion. And there are some free recipes on line. I think what you really want to know is how much of what type ingredients your dog needs for a balanced diet. And if your dog does better on particular things or without particular things. Most allergies are to proteins, but that does not mean that a wheat or cornmeal is not at the root of ear infections in a particular dog, it might be. Bellow is a link to some recipes and I see if I can find you some nutritional info too.What are the best healthy dog food recipes, i can serve my dog?
From time to time I make some ground beef and cottage cheese mix for my dog. First you brown the ground beef in a skillet. Do not add any salt or pepper. Then you put cottage cheese in a bowl and add the ground beef to it. Mix together. Let it cool. And serve!
Unlike commercial dog food the brand Innova we use is wonderful and healthy and easy on dogs with sensitive stomach (my dog has a sensitive stomach).
Here is another food recipe:

Stir together and serve at room temperature.
Store unused portions in a covered container in the refrigerator and use within 3 days.
There is a guide called Dog Food Secrets, which guides you making best dog food recipes with pictures.

I feed my dogs prey model raw. My dogs currently include a 2 year old belgian malinois, a labrador, and 5 12 week old pups.
This diet cosists of feeding rmb's, offal, organs etc. While its not as simple as throwing a chicken in a bowl everyday, its not that complicated once you get started.
My pups have been getting a raw diet since they were 6 weeks old. They love it. Some breeders wean their pups right onto a raw diet.
They get, game hens, chicken breast, chicken thighs, drumsticks, beef and chicken liver, beef heart, beef skirts, catfish, ground turkey, pork ribs, pork roast, beef cheeck, I buy what's on sale, and in bulk when I can.
I feed them 2% of their expected adult weight daily, so each pup gets about 1.5lbs of food divided into 3 daily meals.
There's a bit more to than what I described it here, but all in all, its pretty simple, and is only as expensive as you make it.
Yahoo has some rawfeeding groups, there's also a group called ';rawdogs'; on Livejournal, this thread on Dogster http://www.dogster.com/forums/Raw_Food_D鈥?/a> has lots of information about raw feeding. All 3 places are glad to help new raw feeders get started.
Let's also dispel some myths about rawfeeding with this link http://www.rawfed.com/myths/index.html
Some books on the topic include
Raw Meaty Bones by Tom Lonsdale, and Australian vet.
Works Wonders also by Tom Lonsdale
The BARF Diet by Dr. Ian Billinghurst
Food Pets Die For by Ann Martin (the feeding info isn't great, but the look at the pet food industry is)
Also keep in mind that vets are a good source for medical information, a poor choice for nutrition information. In the many years it takes to become a vet they receive little if any nutrition information. What they are offered is elective and taught by major pet food companies such as Hill's the makers of Science Diet. (an icky overpriced food)
And for anyone who says the pet food companies have done extensive research on nutrtion for our pets. Sure they have. But what they concentrated on was how to feed the animals crap ingredients at the lowest cost without them tipping over right away. If they'd the pets best interest mind the foods wouldn't loaded with things such as corn and soy, which our carnivore pets can't digest. Good nutrition studies eh?
I hope this helps
