Like all pet owners, the recent recall of dog and cat food really had us scared. Lucky for our three doxies, their favorite food (Ceasers) was not on the list of recalled dog food.
Over the past months we’ve been trying to “wiener our dogs” off the can food by cooking for them. As it turns out, the cost of preparing and cooking for your dogs is less expensive per ounce than store bought dog food. I’m sure it’s by far fresher and healthier than what comes in those cans.
To reduce the cost, we look for the “Manager Specials” where the date is about to expire. Usually, we’ll pick up 1.5 lb of Jenny-O ground turkey for $1.99 at Ralphs on Saturday and cook it up for our Dachshunds that afternoon.
It will feed them for two meals, three if we add rice.
this is just another disaster in a long line of them in the pet food industry. the way i see it, before all this processed pet food dogs and cats lived on table food, i am going back to that, and anyone who trust the pet food industry is nuts, i worked at a well known so called natural pet food company, and surprise they are on the list. get smart if you care about your 4 legged family members read Ann N. Martin’s books, Foods pets die for. think about it, would you stick your face in the bowl and eat that stuff, well then it isnt food.
Good point Dina. I added a link to Ann N. Martin’s site where you can pick up a copy of her book.
I started feeding my dogs raw last July, and I’m sure glad that I did. I feel better that they eat fresh food now, instead of premade little pellets all the same. *shrug*
pet food can be easily cooked. Apparently dogs love brown rice when cooked with meat. Especially Labradors.
